Well boys, it's time to get serious.

Since I have continued in my amazing pursuit of being the "human fade," no action (ahem, reaction) is too drastic in order to change me luck.

Therefore, I will be providing this service free-of-charge and taking one for the team.

I will be getting sh!t-faced for a majority of the weekend and then, and only then, making my tips.   

NHL Playoff Hockey, NRL, Super XV, and even the AFL, which I haven't completely settled in on yet this season.

I invite all of you to come into this thread this weekend and have your say.    Hell, maybe even have a few drinkies yourself and jump on one of the alcohol-fueled tips you'll find inside this thread. 

Win or lose, either way, you'll be too sh!t-faced to care!

Yessir Phat!  They say that drinking while gambling makes you take ill-advised choices against your normal routine.  Well then, in that case, I should be rich after this round!  Hahahaha!

Hahaha! Funny you say that, Snake.  I thought of your occasional postings in which you lay down an entire slew of bets and say, eff it, getting wasted with my brother, etc.


Let's get it mate!

SUPER XV

Chiefs v. Farce

My brain is telling me to take the Chiefs -14.5 at the line.  Sure, they are way better than the Farce.  Yeah!  Do it! Do it!  Doooo it!  My drunk self is saying, HA!, bu!!sh!t!  They'll probably miss a sitter of a penalty and win by 12, causing you to drink some more and tear up the new sofa.

Uh, ok.  Don't wanna tear up the new sofa now.  But I like the drinking more part.  Ah, hell.

Chiefs 1-12 @ $2.85

Reds v. Shorks

The Shorks are over-rated and, quite-frankly, hot garbage.  Yeah, you might argue against me right now that they are not exactly, ahem, "hot garbage," and that is true.  But I'm drunk right now so your argument is also, quite frankly, "hot garbage."  In addition, Quade Cooper is pretty suave taking them penalties and the Shorks will most likely remember how he punched out that fat person Saffa a few months ago.  That's all that really matters in this one.

True inside scoop bro. 

My head is saying take the nice-price $1.40 for the Reds moneyline, but my alcohol-fueled indifferent rage is laughing heartily on the inside and calling me a box, all the while flashing images in my head of men in white tights prancing around.

Well now, can't be havin' that!!!!  Especially from myself!

Reds -6.5 @ $1.91

Cheetahs v. Hurricanes

Ah, who gives a f@ck.

Not me.

Well, not the sober me at least.  I wouldn't have looked twice at this over-achiever fest had I been sober.

But something wicked this way comes methinks.  It's either me soon to be sh!ttin' me drawers with all this ale I have been drinking, or, quite possibly..............

DRAW @ $29.00

You know you want somma this.  And you ain't intoxicated.

NRL

Souffs v. Cowboys

Well, I know this is a winner because my sober-self would be all over the Rabbits here.  ML, Line, 1-12, 13+, yadda yadda.  However, I think this is the letdown week that everyone is leery of.  740+ km of travel, facing a mid-table team, doesn't scare the mighty Bunnies.....

OK.  Duly-noted.

Cowboys +10 @ $1.91
Cowboys 1-12 @ $5.00
Cowboys Over 14.5 Points Scored @ $1.91

This is multi-ticket tearer that the books just love.  I could be wrong, but at this point I don't care.  And I am actually rather pleased with that fact.  It's gotta mean something good....

Wests v. Todd Carney

Ooooh, so Carney likes Cronulla.  Turning down that money and wishing for the captaincy.  Good on 'em.  Who the hell would wanna go to Penrith anyway?  (then again, for the $4,000,000 they offered him, I'd lick the toilets clean in Penrith for that kinda dosh)



That's ok, because everyone and their mother's day gift money is on the Sharks here.  Oooh, that -6 looks tasty doesn;t it?  Wests beat up, broken, injured, sh!thouse.....

Looks like a tasty chocolate treat only to find it's chocolate-coated sh!t once the incisors get a grip....

Staying off this one.

Sober, I'd be playing this one six ways to Sunday to get some action.  I'm probably the only get who actually stays off of wagers when liquored up.

I need to see someone about that.....

Good luck to all who decide to play this one.  And even more luck to those who decide to sit this one out.

AFL

Poot Paawaa v. Tiggers

Like I said earlier, I haven't got stuck in the AFL yet this season.  But early on, pre-season, I made my picks for the flag (Pies) and I chose two value teams to ride as longshots.  One of them was the Roos, the other were the Power.  The Roos have to be sh!tting themselves being 1-5 yet having a positive goal differential.  They are probably wondering how this could possibly be.

(should we tell them that the "human cooler," the "living fade," tipped them up at the beginning of the season, or no?)

But the Power have lived up to my longshot-in-the-dark tip going 5-1 so far.

Ack, that's better than the Richmond Tigers who wish they could conjure up the spirit of ole Richo for another season.

Not the bravest of tips, but this one looks and feels good.  And I gotta do something about this good run of form by the Power before my cooling talents get done with North and make their way over to Port.

SO DOOOO IT!!!!!!!!!  HURRRRY!!!!!!!     

OK, OK, OKAAAAY!!!!

Port Adelaide ML @ $1.55

NRL

Brisbane @ Eels suck worse than I do right now.  Effing hanger-ons.

At any rate, Broncos -6.5 is the same as summermschiolsmormremoalmscgokk

So, BRISBANE -6.5.

Hahaha....

I was completely blotto'ed last night. 

Seems like picking drunk has no effect.  Hitting about 50% here.
