If anyone is looking for a risk free bet then continue reading my post :D

Tom Waterhouse is offering a great deal for betting on Sydney to finish in the top 4. Bet up to $50 on them to finish in the top 4 and if they don't you get your money refunded. You would be crazy not to do it!!

What's he get out of it??

More people signing up to his website, which would then mean that a lot of them will start using it for other bets. Very good marketing if you ask me ;)

Kinda risky if it comes off he'd hope stacks of people sign up...

Ziplock

wait....

what?

so basically, if sydney make top 4, you win the bet.

and if sydney doesnt, you get your money back?

sounds good... he must be confident they won't make it... :P

CrowsFan

Yep basically that's it. Just put my $50 on then. Odds are $2.20. So potential to win $110 with no risk :)

Ziplock

just throw a sneaky million on it and make him sweat bullets :P

theres little to no risk for the bookie,, irrelavent to whether swans make top 4 or not..
  basically very few people will withdraw their money win or lose, so from the bookies perspective 80-90% of punters will leave the money in the account and most will just lose it later on.  if by offering the bet he gets an increase in accounts opening its well and truly covering any potential short term lose..(the likelyhood ofcourse is that swans wont make top 4 anyhow).
  the other thing is getting people to do the first deposit(since thats the hardest one, i.e.trust, signing up etc.) once they have an account they will be more likely to keep using it..

Why would you do that with Sydney this year of all teams?

Stupid IMO. Although it isn't as if the Waterhouse family will lose money :P

Because Tom Waterhouse is affiliated with Sydney Swans ;)

As UTM said, he is going to make a lot of money from it with people signing up for accounts and then continuously making bets from it. If Sydney do finish top 4 he will lose a small percentage of money compared to what he should be bringing in with all the new accounts being made.

Tom Waterhouse is as dodgy as they come, just like his old man.

I reckon Waterhouse had something to do with Goodsey's injury.

Apparently waterhouse wanted to take goodes into a tent and shoot him!

Saints could be a good bet this week. I still think Carlton will win but they do blow at Etihad.

On sportsbet you can bet on what piece of St Kilda merchandise Liz Hurley will wear to the game. The scarf is massive value at $2.50
