This podcast is brought to you by our good friends at Ladbrokes. Charlie, we had a lot of fun with the pots at Magic Round, and we even got a few winners as well. It took us a while, but we did turn a profit.

Now, State of Origin, game one, we've got our next one, and you should know by now, you just jump on the Buyaround group in Mates mode, and you get around it.

Charlie White· Host1:21
That's right, Jimmy. It's that time of year again. No, not the EFTS, but the PRE-EFTS.
James Graham· Host1:26
That's the pre-end of financial year sale.
Charlie White· Host1:28
