I bet a rugby parlay blind last weekend and lost 1 of the 3 games, small wager for fun with no knowledge.  Deserved a loss I guess. Just checked my local for fun and EXPLAIN THIS PLEASE: Aussie rules- hawks -3000 & Bombers -8000! These lines blow my mind, guaranteed locks or your just a f***n idiot for taking either?

I understand this forum is for betting advice but It'd be awesome to get some input on this, risk $8,000 to win $100 on the bombers!? I'm dumbfounded...........

I do not follow the AFL much but usually can get teams laying around 100 points from what I see sometimes.

You want parlay builders take.

Crusaders in Super 15 Rugby.

Raiders in NRL

they are as big a lock as you would get these team could play 100 times and you will still get the same result

I just can't do it- risk 8K for $100, insanity/stupidity

Parity in the AFL is non-existent. It's a game of 'haves' and have 'nots'...

afl is a very physical game they play 4 quarters, i think gold coast will stick with them for 3 quarters but will tire in the 4th

I appreciate your response and input, I'm a typical American sports bettor who plays football, basketball, and baseball. NHL was fun this year and a first, my squad the Blackhawks made it easy- probably once in a lifetime from a betting standpoint. I'm ignorant to the game of rugby but i swear most games I've watched are around 20ish, care to elaborate more. Please lol!

But the play either way is basically even -110 over 28.5 or under. Odds say coinflip, hence why I like this conversation and wantc to learn more

GWS are actually staying close, You'd be worried if you took the short price.

They have only been around for 2 years and have won 2 games from 37. Essendon are 12-3 and coming third this season.

Why bet on something you know nothing about? Just don't understand
