I can't be the only one but does anyone else back the opposition at the plus when we are favorites to have a win win weekend? For example this weekend have $50 on Nth Qld at the + 14.5. Lose and at least your bet gets up. Win 24-10 and happy days bet gets up and the eels win. Win by more than that and you've paid the price of admission and a pie for a big Parra win!.... No? Just me?

Never. I never ever bet against Parra. I can't do it & never will. I actually back Parra every week in some way shape or form . Might only be a FTS if I'm not confident or SGM, but if I really like them I'll always take them minus & a first try scorer. Never bet against them . Would rather not bet than do what you do .
You sound like a fun chap

Yeah, I'll put a multi on if I think we'll get flogged with the aim to hopefully lose money. If not, at least I'll get the bet up.
No I'm saying when we are favourites backing the other team at the plus. We can still beat the Cows by 14 and the bet still wins. Why is this so hard?
So when Parra get out to a 20 point lead you then cheer for the cows to score so you win both ways? Yeah see I can't cheer for the opposition no matter what. Even if It means collecting.
No, I cheer on the big win. Nothing pleases me more than a big Eels win so I am happy to lose the bet.
It's like buying an insurance policy that only the good teams can purchase.
With different betting agencies offering different money back offers, I always have few bets on each game with different agencies hedging my bets.
I might not win as much but if 1 gets up I have a win, and chance to halve my losses or break even with money back offers.
