Back in the day when I punted a bit, Sportsbet offered betting on heats. Odds were atrocious. One surfer would be $1.10 and the other guy would be $1.40. Pointless.

I remember Jody Smith was 6/1 to win J Bay. Think he won it that year. Pretty crazy betting on surfing, that ocean can sort of be slightly unpredictable

Re: Just general surfing stuff
Yeah, that's actually a pro for betting because it makes rigging that much harder.

Subjective scoring means anything is possible
Re: Just general surfing stuff
True although the other objective factor....i. e....no waves...means plans can be thwarted.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
Isn't Lennox meant to be going off its chops?

Re: Just general surfing stuff
Just watched a vid of Jaws during a big swell a couple of days ago. Totally out of control crowd-wise. Seems any bloke who can afford a gun and an inflation vest is out there. Three blokes on a wave, boards getting bailed, loose boards in the impact zone. Frightening at that size.
Re: Just general surfing stuff
I've watched quite a few paddle sessions down here at monster size. Agree with the crowd/kook factor, but you can't hang onto that much foam at that size. The talk in the line-up might have been interesting

Log on to the pass cam at swell net for a laugh. A few knocks to the head today, I'd imagine.BA wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2018 5:33 pmJust watched a vid of Jaws during a big swell a couple of days ago.

Sounds like a good call
Re: Just general surfing stuff
Yep, the Alley looked good to me on the cam.
