    Lesson learned for me definitely. Don't put a huge weighting on anything, even if you think it's a cinch!

    I still live as I only went with Munster -12.5 in the 1st half. They still fail to convince and their handling today was truly awful. If it cheers anybody up, I took a woeful beating on Treviso vs Montpelier with all four bets losing. Still, there's Leinster to come....:D

    Ospreys -9.5 in the 1st half 5/6 :(
    Leinster -9.5 in the 1st half 5/6 :)
    More than 19.5 points in total 1st half 5/6 :(

    That's it for my weekend but I'm still happy enough and my winnings from yesterday have been wisely spent elsewhere.

    Despite my plan to quit for the weekend I went for Toulon to get more than 14.5 in the 1st Half today (34-0 HT) and this helped replenish some of my losses.

    I'm now thinking of going for more than 18.5 total points in the 1st half in the Racing Metro game, and Racing to get more than 9.5 points and Clermont to get more than 10.5 points. It will either be a tight first half or high scoring but which? :confused:

    Any line on the Clermont match? The spread (-2) looks good based on Racing's sketchy form. I know Clermont haven't gotten off to the best of starts either but they'd a tough set of opening fixtures in fairness.

    Clermont have their preferred back line together for the first Time (i think) this seaSon tonight .
    Parra, James, nalaga, fofana, rougerie, sivivatu, byrne....

    I think -2 is very generous.

    Last year would have hurt immensely

    No bother ;) Currently even for the weekend (thank you very much Munster and Quins :mad: ) but wins for Seattle and Denver over in the States (apologies to you rugby only betting purists) will leave me 30 up, so c'mon Seahawks and Broncos!!

    How are you going to make any money backing the Broncos?

    You have them on the handicap?
