"AFL footy tipping business"

No habla Australiano

Hablo - that guy habla just fine.

In any case, Aussie rules football is way more entertaining than the American variety: much more running around and action. Plus the "goal" thing that the referees do with their arms pointed out from the waist is cool.

I know that I'm biased (I grew up and live in Melbourne), but I have never seen a team sport I prefer watching to Aussie Rules.

And my day job (big 3 letter IT company) uses this website to run our office footy tips competition.. And it works pretty well! (And my tipping skills are terrible). But as a user - I think the site is great - it's always worked well, solves it's problem nicely, and does something people want.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH. That's what footy is. Oh yeah, that sport is awesome.

"AFL" --> Australian Football League

"Footy" --> Football

"Nutter" --> Crazy person

"Isterling" --> OK, that's just a stupid name.

Apparently tipping is some market based form of betting. I'm guessing the whole thing is similar to betfair.
