    i went a bit mad this weekend:

    Handicap draw (ireland -9) ireland v scotland @ 25/1
    treble (ireland -8, france-1, NZ -4.5) @5/1 :)
    japan -40 @ evens
    Vakatawa to score a Try & France to win & over 43.5 Points @ 9/1
    Matsushima to score 2 or more tries @ evens :)
    japan to win between 41 - 50 points @ 5/1
    earls top try scorer @ 33's

    The treble and the matsushima bet have me in decent profit.

    Funny that Ireland are gone from 10/1 to 7/1 immediately after that game.

    I think that happened yesterday after nz beat sa and the draw became clearer as England had drifted yesterday too

    First bet of the WC, gonna take Georgia +28.5 vs the Welsh


  • Subscribers Posts: 41,284 ✭✭✭✭sydthebeat


    youd currently get Australia +2 against wales


    at the rate at which Australia can score tries and as hard as Wales get to score tries, thats good value currently i think.
    the only thing that would really spin it strongly into wales favour is a wet rainy day... which is whats being forecasted.. but we're six days out for any secure forecast.


    ireland -56 against russia seems a bit over the top.
    only NZ versus canada is a higher spread in this years RWC so far.... and we dont get it as easy to score tries.

    Sick. Took +36 myself, which didn't look to good for a while too.

    I'm surprised it was that close in the end given the first half!

    A half-strength Connacht team put 42 points on Russia in Moscow 2 weeks ago. Although I think you're right that it seems over the top - the priority will be to get the bonus point secured then no injuries, so we may not go full gas to the end of the game.

    yeah that would be my view... once the 4 try point is made... changes happen, game gets disrupted.... players minding themselves a bit....russia keep going for the pride points....


    the only spread bet that was clearly beat was ireland, who were -8 and won by 24

    Japan were -40, won by 20
    aus -17, won by 18
    england -45, won by 32
    italy -34, won by 25
    wales -29, won by 29

    and the close ones
    france -1, won by 2
    NZ -8, won by 10

    so on average the spread was negative 28, but positive 42.. which shows the underdogs did better than expected.

    the spreads have expanded on average for the next few rounds, and i think on average they are still to0 wide against the underdogs.

    (though i expect SA could put 80 on Namibia)

    Aus beating their handicap by a point isn't a close one? :D

    I meant close spread before the game.

    Looking at cokanasinga for tries in the England game. With jj playing at 13 he is the ultimate creator in my eyes and cokanasinga won't be stopped 1v1.

    Cokanasinga 2 or more tries 7/4
    3 or more tries 6/1


  • Subscribers Posts: 41,284 ✭✭✭✭sydthebeat


    where are you getting 7/4??

    PP is 5/6 for 2 tries


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 10,400 Mod ✭✭✭✭aloooof


    And bet fair is 10/11. 3 or more is 16/5.

    nice one

    What way is the EW bet split? is it quarter odds?


  • Registered Users Posts: 798 ✭✭✭Rockbeast2


    ^ E/W is quarter odds for try 1,2,or 3.

    Bit late getting back to you now but 365 had him 7/4 for 2. Pp is by far the worst for tryscorers value 365 much better and boyles you can also double anytimes with boyles

    Take the ireland game for example my tryscorer fancies atm with 0 research would be

    Stockdale 1/2(pp) 8/13(boyles) 4/6(365)
    2 or more 21/10(pp) 12/5(boyles) 3/1(365)

    Ringrose 6/4 across all 3
    2 or more 7/1(pp) 15/2(boyles) 10/1(365)

    Farrell 11/5(pp) 21/10(boyles) 5/2(365)
    2 or more 11/1(pp) 12/1(boyles) 20/1(365)

    Gone for 13-1 weekend accum of

    Cheetahs
    Dragons +17
    Connacht
    Georgia -17

    All of Glasgow Munster and Scarlets missing double digit players at World Cup. Dragons beat Scarlets 34-17 in last pre season warmup, Dean Ryan taken over there could see some improvement.
    Connacht best Munster by 9, were 23 up before subs.

    Cheetahs made some good signings with new coach and won Currie cup and with Glasgow being weakened by World Cup can’t see them winning over there.

    Think the 4 day turn around and adrenalin dump will kill Uruguay, can see that being heavy loss.


  • Registered Users Posts: 798 ✭✭✭Rockbeast2


    ^ I forgot P14 is back!

    Must check squads and put on a few bets!


  • Subscribers Posts: 41,284 ✭✭✭✭sydthebeat


    My confidence has grown. I think the Japanese will have one eye on the Scotland (and Samoa) game... And may perhaps be minding themselves a bit.

    Ireland should be able to put in a TBP performance and keep the japs to about 10 points.

    Ireland -21 @evens

    * I agree with sydthebeat's optimism.

    Me too. I bet Ireland yesterday -20 @10/11


  • Registered Users Posts: 798 ✭✭✭Rockbeast2


    -20 ?!

    Is that Ladsgobroke? I'm PPs.

    Every point makes a huge difference. 5%?


  • Registered Users Posts: 798 ✭✭✭Rockbeast2


    *10/11 vs Evens

    I will always take the wider spread where possible.

    That was with Bet365. It was -22 @ evens


  • Registered Users Posts: 798 ✭✭✭Rockbeast2


    I'm definitely going to open a couple new online accounts for quarters. +/-1 point is massive then.
