Having my first crack at AFL for the year after doing fairly well last season in the AFL.  Even though it's NAB, guys should be playing a bit harder, Port vs Richmond tonight, will update how I went after the game! :)

Yeah I just entered between $2-$10 tourneys or head to heads last year, came out about $500 in profit.  Good fun if you get the strategy down right.

So I finished 13th out of 66, top 21 gets a prize ($20), $10 buy in.  Happy with that considering I had Townsend and Grigg who got injured.  My score was 684 (Wingard, Riewoldt, Hampson, Townsend, Grigg, Ellis, Ebert, Rance, Houli)  Top score was 751.  Could start to the season!

I only started playing this 2 weeks ago after depositing $20, have already made over $400 profit after finishing equal 2nd last night and 3rd in the Dees and Dogs game. i also play the Double up for insurance and am 7/7 in that.

Its allot of fun to watch your position change as the game goes on.

If you don't cop a injury and are good at picking an initial DT or SC team then you will make your money back on this at the very least.

Yeah I normally back a big tourney and then back the same team in the double up, never seem to fail on that one, slow going, but you just need to hit a big tourney once in awhile, and profits profit! ;)

Well I've decided I needed to give this go ;)

A lot of verification processes required, copy of your driver's license, credit card and a certified document of your address!

Yeah same as all sports gambling websites, if you don't give them those details then they don't let you  withdraw funds!

Played the last couple of NAB matches.   One decent collect and a few money back.   Biggest beef I have is the players status is not correct on the playing list.    Been caught out trying to find out who is actually playing.
Cost me a couple of collects so far.     So I am sitting back now until round 1.  Where I know how to find accurate team sheet data.      It is irritating to say the least that MB cannot update their systems in an accurate and timely manner.


Second beef is it is not clear how to delete a game prior to start time if you change your mind or find out a player you want is not playing.  OK if game is cancelled or not sufficient starters but appears no way to cancel you game prior to siren time if you enter in advance.


Scores update quickly and it is easy to monitor your game and status.  I normally have FF matchday screen and Moneyball screen as well as live internet game if I am home.

Finished 12th in one to double up, but 11th in the other, 1 place outside a prize.

Crowls, you should be able to edit your team right up until the first game starts if you need to swap out a player, but once entered I don't think you can cancel the team...if you were to put a head to head bet on  Geelong vs Hawks and you tip Geelong and then Dangers a late out, you can't cancel the bet there so makes sense you can't cancel a bet you've placed on moneyball.  Need to keep an eye on the ins and outs prior to bouncedown.

You did well to finish 12th in the double-up JV. For a while I didn't think you were going to sneak into the prizes ;)

Finished 7th in that one, 14th in a $2 so doubled my money for the night.

As Hippo said it is fun watching your progress on the live standings, particularly when in the second game you have more players than most of the other entrants and come home strong ;)
