Hawks Odds

Thing you have to remember is that the TAB and other betting agencies don't set the odds as an indication on whose most and least likely to win.

They set the odds to make the most money possible.

I don't know much about human pyschology but people would still start jumping on ILL at $3.25 - I know i still do it for other sports (hangs head in shame). "Oh X have come down to $ Y, actually maybe they are a really good chance, yeah they can win, yeah they will win".

I wouldn't be writing the Hawks off just yet. Only needs Penny and Lisch to get white hot, which they are both capable of and the whole playoff scenario changes.

You would like to see those odds at about 6 or 8:1 to place any decent coin down.

Illawarra v Perth should be a good series and should go to 3. Perth takes out G1, then Illawarra G2, but G3 is open as I would suggest a quick turnaround and the away team has the advantage. The home team gets back into a nice warm cosy bed with a home cooked meal by their WAG. The body says "phew, it's time to wind down" and so when it comes to game day their body is thinking "what, this again?"

The away team are together in the same hotel. They have nothing better to do so they have a light dinner then go back to the Captain's room for a bit of a de-breif and chat tactics. Maybe go over some game tapes and notice than this player twitches a certain way if he fakes right and his eyes look a certain way if he's about to pass. Adrenalin is flowing, the lost the first game and came back in the second.

Illawarra is paying $3.25 with TAB for the championship.

I put $20 on them at $13 for the title before the start of the season.
