I particularly remember among the hype leading up to the Moon Landing, I heard of a wager 100 pounds ($200). The bet was made by two AFL football fans in the early 60's.
South Australian team, Glenelg, would win the premiership before Man landed on the Moon.
$30 was about an average weekly wage, = 6 or 7 weeks pay.
Man on Moon 1969
Glenelg Premiership 1973.
Glenelg's former premiership was 1934
They won a further two in the mid 80's
Everyone got into it.
Popular thread. Well thought of Merlin.
