it was at $250 for them to get the wooden spoon, but i'm not surprised if those bets are cancelled. not surprised either if a few storm or nrl staff members are indicted for placing those bets either.
As far as i've heard, all bets regarding the storm are valid. Some blokes will receive to the tune of $8,000 for placing $40 bets @ $250, luckily betting was spended soon after the betting plunge.

The bets on the storm for the premiership will be refunded.

Slater really isn't that attractive... It's just because every other football player looks like their face has been hit by a shovel, repeatedly.

you are only allowed to spend a certain amount (3.2M?) on players...this is to try and make the teams even so not one team keeps winning like the EPL...aka...the top players will be more expensive and unable to keep if you have too many of them....

so storm had players but they were paying them "gifts" and money under the table...but their books said they were under the cap...thus they kept all the good players...

So, let me get this right...
Each club is only allowed to spend a certain amount of money on players like 3.2 million, The Storms club exceeded this cap by paying their good players etc with gifts, black money etc?
They kept all their good players and kept winning?

yeah...thats correct...therefore they were cheating as if they had stayed under the cap they couldnt keep the best players...
