There's just no rest if you're a MAFL Investor.
For those with the Recommended Portfolio we've another 20 wagers this weekend, covering all but the Tigers v Pies game on Saturday. The most profligate Fund is the Chi-squared Fund, which has 4 wagers totalling a smidge under half the Fund, the largest and riskiest of which being 15.2% of the Fund on the Swans at $2.55 facing the Cats. Two other wagers are equally brow-raising and are sized around the 12% mark and on teams priced at $2 or a little higher. This dog shows no fear/sense (delete whichever isn't applicable).
Next most profligate is the New Heritage Fund, which has 5 wagers totalling almost one-third of the Fund, the largest being 11% on West Coast at $1.36 and the riskiest 4.8% on Hawthorn at $2.15. Hope comes next, with 4 wagers totalling around 16% of the Fund, the largest and riskiest 5.1% on Sydney at $2.55.Then follows the Line Redux Fund, with three wagers each at 5% of the Fund, 2 on underdogs and 1 on a favourite. (Two line markets are yet to be posted, but they'll both probably be the home team +6.5 points which won't be enough to entice a flutter.)
Finally, Prudence is this week's spendthrift - such things being relative - having 4 wagers totalling only 13% of the Fund, the largest 3.5% on the Eagles and the riskiest 3% on Melbourne at $2.05.
In truth, by just about any measure, the weekend's fare is not especially scary. Had last year's Heritage Fund still been active, who knows what it might have outlayed on the Tigers at home at $6.25 or the Dons at home at $6.50.
Ready Reckoner
So, to the week's Ready Reckoner:
The Melbourne v Freo, Lions v Dogs, and Sydney v Geelong clashes are then the ones that matter most to all Investors, except MIN #017, who cares only about the first two of those games.
Tipping
We have no games this week for which the tipsters are unanimous and 7 games for which there is at least 3 tipsters in the minority camp.
We have:
* Adelaide 10-3 favourites over the Hawks. Both Chi and ELO are tipping the Crows but both by sufficiently narrow margins to make this their Game of the Round. Amongst MAFL's top 5 tipsters only Shadow is tipping the Hawks.
* Collingwood 10-3 favourites over the Tigers. None of the top tipsters are on the Richmond.
* The Roos 7-6 favourites over the Eagles, though BKB, ELO and CTL are all on West Coast.
* The Lions 8-5 favourites over the Dogs, with ELO, CTL and Silhouette supporting the Dogs.
* Geelong 7-6 favourites over the Swans. Amongst the top tipsters only Shadow is tipping the Swans.
* Fremantle 9-4 favourites over the Dees, with Shadow and Silhouette tipping Melbourne.
* Carlton 10-3 favourites over Port. Only Silhouette are supporting Port from amongst the top tipsters.
* St Kilda 12-1 favourites Essendon. HSH is the only tipster hoping for a Dons victory.

(Update at 7:00pm on Thursday: the line markets for the Melbourne v Freo and Port v Carlton games have now been posted and, despite Melbourne receiving a little more start than I expected, we've no interest in either game, from a line betting perspective at least.)
