    New season, new beginning, more opportunities to finance the bookmakers!

    6034073

    Odds for Outright Winner of World Cup.

    France could well be the value there, they're in form after the warmups and certainties to make it out of their pool. As we discovered in 07, they can beat anyone anytime when they decide to turn up. Might be worth a sly fiver as an outsider bet.

    Won't touch the ABs at those odds so I might back Australia to win also.

    This weekend I'm backing Munster -10 at 10/11 at home to Dragons.

    How about Ospreys vs Leinster tonight. Looks like a lethal Leinster backline and I reckon Leinster to win at 10/11 is easy money. :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 24,815 ✭✭✭✭emmet02


    Don't like the HC bet on Munster, and don't like the win bet on Leinster either.

    Gl though!

    Leinster -9 @ 11/4 to make it exciting :D

    France are likely to meet England in the QF though aren't they? I'd fancy England to take that game tbh.

    Good point, that's why I would keep a bet on France to a fiver. ;)

    Got a tenner on Oz at 6/1 nearly a year ago. *smug*

    Alternative handicap accums on PP for me in the early stages of the WC, with the €130 I won on Leinster winning the Heineken Cup.

    Have a fiver on the the following accum for this weekend: Munster -4, Ulster -6, Leinster -5, Scarlets -6. As well as the customary couple of quid on Dave Kearney to score a try.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,549 ✭✭✭✭Judgement Day


    Ulster vs Glasgow. Weather cloudy and dry.
    More than 17.5 points in 1st half @ 5/6

    Ospreys vs Leinster. Weather sunny/cloudy and dry.
    More than 19.5 points in the 1st half @ 5/6
    Leinster to win - evens.
    Leinster to win by more than 8 @ 11/4
    Isa Nacewa a try @ 16/5
    Fionn Carr a try @ 23/10

    God loves a tryer!

    Now what odds on finding a pub that will be showing the Leinster game instead of 'dirt' football as my local barman refers to it. :D

    Sounds like your local would be a good bet :P

    I'll put my ante post RWC bets up here for good measure.....

    Samoa to reach the quarters @ 7/1
    Samoa to reach the semi's @35/1
    Ireland to win RWC @ 25/1 (got it before the two home warm ups)
    Ireland to reach the final @9/1

    Will have a few more before next Friday, wouldn't be a world cup without a top scorer and tryscorer bet!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,053 ✭✭✭Gracelessly Tom


    For tonight I've gone with Leinster -5 @ 2/1. C'mon Leinster....

    New season off and running!

    The two New Zealand wingers are favourites but it doesn't seem right to me. Neither have a great try scoring record.

    I know what you mean. I think you're better off going for a sub winger for NZ or Aus as they could run in 4 or 5 tries against a group minnow. Ashley-Cooper v Russia for example.

    The problem with this is that Adam Ashley Cooper probably won't play against the likes of Russia, they will be rested for the bigger games.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,053 ✭✭✭Gracelessly Tom


    Just went on to Paddy Power to check the top tryscorer odds and Alesana Tuilagi is 500/1!! With 4 places he's got to be e/w value. If Samoa do manage to get through he could easily score a few tries and grab a place.

    Am I missing something (is he injured) or are they actually crazy odds?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,053 ✭✭✭Gracelessly Tom

    I think he could play against them, I'd imagine they'll go with O'Connor and Ioane on the wings. He is so versatile that he could be benched for the big games and play the smaller ones.

    Maybe. With only 3 wingers in the squad he's likely to play there a bit. The other issue is Mitchell. I think he's played a bit of club rugby since his return but I doubt he can have done enough to get his starting spot back. But he could easily be starting come the knockout stages.

    .

    Oz were a minimum of 10/1 a year ago in most places.

    Leinster +3 are Dragons +12 are my bets in the Celtic Magners Rabo Direct Pro12 for the weekend.

    How soon before we can just call it the Pro12?

    I hope he is. I think Mitchell is a cracking player, often under rated but he's like Keith Earls with a brain.

    Also went for ireland 25/1 frogs 16/1 and aussies at 5/1

    only a week to go :)

    I threw a fiver each way on it @ 500/1. If he's injured so be it but couldn't refuse those odds!:D

    Hahaha, he's now 80/1! :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,915 ✭✭✭MungBean


    On PP so odds could be better elsewhere.


    Name the 8 quarter finalists.

    New Zealand, France, England, Argentina, Australia, Ireland, South Africa & Wales @ 13/8


    Name the quarter finals.

    Australia vs Wales, England vs France, South Africa vs Ireland, & New Zealand vs Argentina @ 9/2


    Be very surprised the quarters looked any different than that.

    yep they are out to 40/1 with pp now , backed them end of July before their bizarre performances in August.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,549 ✭✭✭✭Judgement Day


    Ulster vs Glasgow. Weather cloudy and dry.
    More than 17.5 points in 1st half @ 5/6 15-11 HT then it rained..:D

    Ospreys vs Leinster. Weather sunny/cloudy and dry.
    More than 19.5 points in the 1st half @ 5/6 27-3 HT :D
    Leinster to win - evens. 27-3 FT :(
    Leinster to win by more than 8 @ 11/4 :(
    Isa Nacewa a try @ 16/5 :(
    Fionn Carr a try @ 23/10

    God loves a tryer!

    Now what odds on finding a pub that will be showing the Leinster game instead of 'dirt' football as my local barman refers to it. :D

    Plus I had to abandon my usual local for the 'dirt' football just before half time and the #2 pub only had BBC NI - Ulster vs Glasgow - which was obviously a damn sight more exciting than the Leinster debacle. Only €4 down and there's tomorrow to come. :D

    How about Connacht @ 2/1? They have almost a full team against Treviso who are missing 12 players.
