Ravens Competitions

Punters Club... with your host Phil Mac

(28/07/2003) Ronnie comes to the party... 

Another good week on the punt, with Ronnie backing the winner in race 7 at Randwick. Throwing all of his $40 on the nose, we thought it would pay quite nicely if it came in, but a little disappointed at the bowlo when news broke that the horse only paid $1.80 for the win, $72 all up. Beats losing though. So we are up around the $1,500 mark raised towards Byron, with a bit of cash still owing. Marty's myriad of footy selections are still to be checked, so hopefully we land a few more $'s there too. Try and get your $'s in this week at training, as well as the $100 to Ronnie for anyone coming on the trip that hasn't yet paid. Next week is Harry & Robbie with $40 each. 

Punters Club $'s Outstanding (as at 28/07/2003)... 

Chris B. $25 
Adam B. $30 
Sheldon $35 
Gal $25 
Nathan $15

Adam L. $85

  


 

(14/07/2003) $'s keep ticking over for Byron Bonanza... 

A couple of small winners on the weekend from Roons and Texas Pete, with a few bets still to go. Pete collected $16.50 on 'A Tenner' - Syd Race 7, No. 7, with Roons betting with his heart and collecting $18.50 on the Tigers win over the Sharks. Johnnie Roberts finished $22 up last weekend, with $62 worth of winners on the horses. Still a fair bit of cash outstanding for the season (see here), with any amount added to the $100 for the Byron Bay end of season trip. Marty & George have the $40 each this weekend, so hopefully they can land a few more winners and make the trip all that more enjoyable!... cheers, phil

   


     

(07/07/2003) Twelve hundred bucks raised for Byron.

Ronnie has the Byron Bay Bonanza booked in for the 5th-9th September, and through the punters club we've got $1,200 in the kitty so far. This has helped to keep the cost down to just $100 per player. Matty was unlucky with a variety of bets over the weekend, but Johnnie R. won just short of the $40 back. Next week (v Ararat) is Roons & Texas Pete's punt, with Marty & George the week after. What everyone owes for the rest of the season is here. There's about $800 still owed, so with a couple of winners we should have around $2,000 towards a great weekend away.

   


  

(30/06/2003) More Punters Club joy.

A great weekend for the punters club. Aman unlucky with his AFL / NRL points doubles, but Perce came to the party with $120 winner. Storm Buster in Race 4 at Randwick came up with the goods, with Perce's other tip running 3rd. We've now crept passed the $1,000 mark in the kitty for our assault on byron bay, come early september. This weekend sees father and son John & Matty each armed with $40, and Perce backing up after his win. Click here to see how much you owe.

   


   

(26/06/2003) Punters Club returns.

After a few weeks on international training camps, I'm back and with that comes more punting madness... we've been pretty quiet over the last couple of weeks. Shawn maple nailed a $35 winner in the rugby league. but the best collect so far comes from Chris Mahar backing Lennox Lewis to win in the 6th round, giving us another $90 for the Byron Bay bonanza. 3 people step up this weekend with Ronnie, Purce and Aman armed with $40 each. 

A few bets are still in play, with Chris Mahar tipping 21-30 total points in the origin on Wednsday night, and Johnnie K's $15,000 collect if Parra Eels and Sydney Swans win the grand finals! (we can only hope) Quite a few dollars are outstanding all round, so please hand to Phil mc or Stevie Z. This weekend. with everyone paid up, the punters club should raise about $1500 towards the trip away, with $789 already in the account. this is what you owe... Next weekend (v. Nth Ryde) it's Johnnie & Matty Roberts, then Sean & Pete, then Marty & Vallas, with Robbie & Harry the last to punt in the first week of the semi's.

(22/05/2003) Rearranged bets for washed out match.

Nath & Mcindoe will bet in week '15' when we play the rescheduled Nth Ryde game, Johnnie K & Zorby on this weekend. Keith and Ronnie the week after v Redbacks, then Chris Mahar & Shawn Maple against Putney. For the next 3 games, give your $5 for Mousey or Stevie Z. if it's your turn to bet put your $40 of bets on at the TAB, and Mousey or Steve will fix you up at the game...

   


(12/05/2003) Another Winner - Number 7 comes good for the captain....

Joel & Mousey stepped up for a punt this weekend with a variety of League & English Premier League bets staked. Mousey blew his cash on Middlesborough, Clintin Toopi as a first try scorer as first scorer in NZ v Parra, who didn't even play, and a few other league bets. Joel recovered from the shattering news that we were too late to put a bet on St John's Park in the Lawn Bowls to put $20 on Liverpool to beat Chelsea & $10 on a St George 5-8 win margin. No Good. It was the final $10 that Joel threw on Sydney Race 7, Number 7 that paid. The captain's omen bet gave us $72, just behind for the weekend. Mousey still has another $10 alive but unlikely, needing Darren Ganga to score close to 200 in the W. Indies final dig to take the cash. As for who won the bowls, we've got no idea...

Good news is we have $482.70 in the account so far even though we are behind by $55 on the punt, all going towards the Byron Bay Bonaza. Next up is self proclaimed punting genious Bradley McIndoe, along with Nath. With Reggie, Mick & Adam Lincoln retiring hurt, the batting order has changed a little with Doe, Zorby & Ronnie promoted up the order...

When you bet...
Week 1 v Redbacks - Phil & Stevie Z.
Week 2 v Putney - Simon & Chris B.
Week 3 v NHFC - Adam B. & Nick C.
Week 4 v Mq Comb - Sheldon & Gal
Week 5 v Roselea - Joel & Mousey
Week 6 v Nth Ryde - Nath & Bradley
Week 7 v Ararat - Johnnie K. & Zorby
Week 8 v Redbacks - Keith & Ronnie
Week 9 v Putney - Chris Mahar & Shawn M.
Week 10 v NHFC - Will & Harry
Week 11 v Mq Comb - Purce & Aman
Week 12 v Roselea - Matt & Johnnie Roberts
Week 13 v Nth Ryde - Rooney & Pete
Week 14 v Ararat - Marty & George
Week (1) - Robbie & Phil Mc
Week (2) - Stevie Z. & ?
Week (3) - 2 biggest winners for the season

   


(05/05/2003) So Close, but so Far...

Punting King Paul 'Gal' Galanos went one game short of tipping the round in the NRL, with the Dragons costing us a $458 win with an Accumulator. Sheldon came up with a couple of winners though placing the unusual bet of '51-60 Total Points scored between Parra & Roosters', paying $44. He also tipped an upset in the Premier League with West Ham downing Chelsea giving us a further $27.50 collect.

This means that on the punt we are $50 behind, with $230 bet and about $180 won back.

This week Joel & Mousey have the $40 each, with Nath & Bradley the week after.

Behind in $'s are: Rooney $14, Johnnie K. $10, Reggie $19, Shawn $5, Harry $5 & $2 from Doe. As well as Mick, Hwanger & Adam L. if they're keen to join us for the Post-Season festivities. But the the big tip this week is that the End of Season Trip will be a Byron Bay Bonanza around September, but i'm sure Ronnie will let us know in due course.

Let's tip some winners boys!

how it works:
Everyone gives Phil or Stevie Z. $5 each week, after Thursday training or on Saturday at the game. Two people each week get $40 to bet on any Sport or Horses they like through SportsTAB. For ideas... 
www.sportstab.com.au
www.racetab.com.au

When it's your bet make sure you have your tips to Phil by Saturday morning including the Sport, Option, Selection & Amount. Anyone who wins more than $80 (doubles their money) bets again the 
following week. The rest gets banked, with all funds raised going to the End of Season Trip.

When you bet...
Week 1 v Redbacks - Phil & Stevie Z.
Week 2 v Putney - Simon & Chris B.
Week 3 v NHFC - Adam B. & Nick C.
Week 4 v Mq Comb - Sheldon & Gal
Week 5 v Roselea - Joel & Mousey
