    leinster lost a point to -14 after the teams were named , which is surprising.

    Edit :
    My bad. It hasn't actually moved....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,363 ✭✭✭✭Del.Monte


    Dropped the Newcastle game in favour of the Ulster one and just the two bets.

    Fortune favours the foolhardy. :D

    Took Newcastle +7, should have waited!
    Looking at Pau -12, at home to Worcester now too.
    Can get Pau -9 with Boylesports

    11/4 for the outright win is tempting but the collapse away to Racing weighs on my mind.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,433 ✭✭✭✭thomond2006


    I've taken Newcastle +15. No other handicaps stand out really, though if Newcastle comes through I might follow up with Glasgow +2 away to Lyon.

    Very annoyed I didn't bet the other way at halftime. The cap was Edinburgh -6.

    Yeah good point.

    When I used to bet I was "all in" for whatever I had committed to before kick off. The amount of times I failed to cover my ass mid-game and got burned was unreal. Was one of the big reasons I stopped gambling.
    Couldn't think logically mid-bet.

    Fear of a double burn though :)

    Well not necessarily. If my original bet was going well, I could have covered myself midstream to ensure a profit no matter what. (betfair was very useful for this, would give you the red (loss) and green (profit) numbers)
    But I was too often too greedy!

    Don't have an account with them, hit the -12 with a sweat!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 296 ✭✭Leinstertomas


    Gone for a double on Cronin and McGrath to both score at 8/1

    im going to repeat the same mistake as last week, by going on newcastle early....

    @ -2 though i think they are good value and should have some of their injury worries from last weekend back.

    they've added hardie (flanker) and payne (prop) to their squads which is a good boost.
    Flood should be back starting and hopefully Wilson will be over his ear infection.

    i see he's now gone into 2/1

    chris farrell now gone into 6/5.....

    the 3/1 bet is looking like great value at this stage


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,433 ✭✭✭✭thomond2006


    Gloucester are -2 at home to Exeter and Exeter have just named a largely second string side. I've jumped on Gloucester to win at 4/6, I don't think that will last.

    Exeter play Saracens at home on the 22nd, all focus is on that I imagine. They're out of Europe already unless they get three BP wins and results go their way. It's not happening.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,433 ✭✭✭✭thomond2006


    Ulster are -8 but Scarlets are coming with a full side despite being out of contention. That handicap looks about right to me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,127 ✭✭✭The real mccoy 91

    100% on board with this reckon the handicap will hit 5 or 6 before kick off have snapped up some of the -2

    It's gone to -5 now. I'd still take it.


  • Subscribers Posts: 43,122 ✭✭✭✭sydthebeat


    anyone think Racing -3 is value ???

    they are really targeting the H Cup this year and Leicester are a mess.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 296 ✭✭Leinstertomas


    Made this accumulator the other day @13/1
    Ulster win V Scarlets
    Munster win V Castres
    Glasgow -24 V Lyon
    Leinster -23 V Bath
    Toulouse -19 V Wasps

    Nightmare so far.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,363 ✭✭✭✭Del.Monte


    I put the hex on Gloucester but once again Jacob Stockdale saved the day. Only down a few Euros so far this weekend - lost on a novelty bet on Theresa May too. :D

    The weather would make me avoid -20
    Then again given my recent luck Leinster will then probably put 50 on them.

    I took bath +24

    I don't think it will be a high scoring game


  • Subscribers Posts: 43,122 ✭✭✭✭sydthebeat


    Wiped out in my bets today.

    Leinster imperious and the horrible weather didn't materialise.


    Need Newcastle timeouts to win by 3 or more to take some of the sting out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,363 ✭✭✭✭Del.Monte


    Wipeout for me too - went for the wrong try scorers in both games and wasn't able to watch either. :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,433 ✭✭✭✭thomond2006


    I took Ulster +23, both sides are weakened but I think Leinster will be laboured.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,363 ✭✭✭✭Del.Monte


    The broken clock strikes again. Over 100% up on the day but Andrew Conway is starting to owe me. :D

    If you bothered to read the thread you would see that I do - it depends on the game - several of the bets were placed after I arrived in the pub and just before kick-off.

    Toulouse +11 look like good value
    No Sexton, Toner & Lowe
    With a gap still at 12
