Million Dollar Challenge : Week 3 Bet

Week 2 successful with both the Hawks and West Coast fulfilling there 15.5 point obligation getting over bottom sides. West Coast did look a bit shaky there for a while but I expect there is going to be a lot closer calls than that before we get to the $1 million.

Balance $325 retained $1.70

My theme for Week 3 is called "Sticking with the strength"

I am not really a tennis fan but the opening rounds of Wimbledon look good opportunities to take advantage of the class players taking on much lower ranked opponents and even at $1.01 or $1.02 we think thats value. The good thing about tennis betting is that if the game does not get completed it becomes void so if any of our players we have backed do get hurt during the match we are safe and can't lose our money.

We are coupling up Federer $1.01, Djokovic $1.01 and Roddick $1.02 to get the job done tonight.

Then later on during the week we have gone to the strength of the best 2 teams in the AFL comp in Collingwood and Geelong.

Collingwood have a brilliant record at ANZ stadium against Sydney and should have too much power. Sydney nearly always beat the lower ranked sides but vice versa generally always get done by the stronger ones. They were compleely outclassed by Carlton last week and we think Collingwood are certainly a bit better than the Blues. The Pies do come off the bye this week which has been bad news this year but a quick trip to Arizona for a few players and the expert coaching staff should have them pumped for a win.

Geelong play at Skilled Stadium against the hapless Adelaide Crows. I think Geelong have won something like 26 in a row at there home ground, there last loss was in 2007. Its just an easy opportunity to add more $$$ to this 5 leg multi.

Our balance if this bet is successful will be $400 with retained amount of $9.66.
