Well it's 7.5% of my overall investment.

I'm doubtfull of my try scorer bets. The rest I think should be ok. I'll let you know how I get on tomorrow.

Oh right

So 1 unit is only 1% of your bank?

GiftofGab

Well yeah that's my idea of it. I started with 100 units. If I bet 50 units that's 50% of my initial investment. So 7.5 units is 7.5% of my investment.

Ah right fair enough, whatever way suits ya yourself!

Units though would usually be around 5-10% of the bank, so thats why Thomand would only be betting 1-3 units per bet!

Anyway, best of luck with them tomorrow!

Here's my bets for the Lions:

Lions (-38.5) @ 1.90: 7.5 units
George North to score a try @ 1.50: 7.5 units
Tommy Bowe to score a try @ 1.45: 7.5 units
BOD to score a try @ 1.80: 7.5 units
Jamie Heaslip to score a try @ 2.50: 7.5 units
SOB to score a try @ 2.5: 7.5 units
1st try be converted - Yes @ 1.33: 7.5 units
Back to score 1st try @ 1.40: 7.5 units
2nd Half will be highest scoring half @ 1.67: 7.5 units
Lions try will be the 1st score of the game @ 2.37: 7.5 units

10 bets. Obviously I don't expect to win all 10 but I hope my winnings can outweigh the losses with the end result being a profit. I'm banking a a large Lions win.

Got 7 out of 10. Was really hoping SOB would get a try. Surprised the Lions can score 60+ and North can't even get one try.

Well done, that was good going.

Can you post your new balance from all those bets? It's easier then for us to know how much profit you made.

Western Force vs British & Irish Lions - the only bet worth a damn is the Lions to Win to Nil at 17/1. Surely worth 5 or 10 Euros?

That went well then. Down 50% on the day. Sorry can't cope with units thing - grade D in Pass Maths I'm afraid.

With Carter injuried maybe France (+16.5) @ 1.90 looks ok. Thou I may stay away from this game from the score line. France are a very unpredictable side.

NZ traditionally play an expansive game - Savea to score in 80 mins looks promising. As well as the first try being scored by a back.

I just have to wait till the full betting market opens up.

P.Walnuts

Reds +20 might be worth a look, not the most inspiring Lions pack for me, plus Farrell at 10.

Reds will be well drilled and fired up after all the moaning about how poor the Force were.

Edit : Looks like the cap is +18, not 20. Still tempting

Definitely tempted by the reds on the cap, I think I'll go for it but the Lions do have a strong bench..

Most bookies do. Have a look on oddschecker to find out.

What do peoples think of BOD @ 4/6 to start the first test? My initial reaction is to take it but I think I'm in love with him so may be slightly biased..
