2012 Round 17 - Wagers & Tips : A Measured Re-Engagement

/
After MAFL weeks like last week - which, fortunately, have been infrequent during MAFL history - I'm torn between a desire to see the Funds regroup, reflect and recalibrate, and an unvoiced hope that they'll find genuine value in every market they see, wager heavily and tantalise with the promise of recouping all the losses they made in the previous week, and then more. As usual, what I get is somewhere in between.

2012 Round 15 - Wagers & Tips : Soon ...

/

I'm still waiting for the Head-to-Head and Line markets to be posted for the Hawks v Giants clash, so I'm deferring the posting of the Round 15 Wagers & Tips blog until tomorrow night.

Not, to be clear, that I expect we'll be nibbling at the Hawks head-to-head; if their opening price is $1.50 or more in that market it can only be because they've agreed to play the first quarter blind-folded. It is likely, however, that we'll be on the home-team Hawks in the Line market - certainly if they're only giving something like 99.5 start - so I've decided to wait until this market has been crystallised before I post all the details of the week's festivities.

As things stand I reckon we'll have no Head-to-Head bets, seven Line bets and four SuperMargin bets. More tomorrow.

2012 Round 11 : Wagers & Tips - A Quieter Round

/
This week marks the start of a slightly odd period of the season, lasting three rounds, in each of which we'll see 12 teams and six more teams having the bye. In effect, we have two whole rounds spread over three weeks. Across this week's six games the Line Fund has seen fit to lob money at the Home team in five of them, and the Margin Fund has made the same decision in two. The Head-to-Head Fund, meantime, has elected to declare its own bye for this week by absteining from gambling entirely.
