    Calm down everybody, I'm thinking of betting on Munster - you've been warned!:D

    If Munster don't beat that, Penney is dead to me

    If Munster don't beat that I'll be eating bread and butter until pay day!

    Butter is expensive enough these days :P

    I'll be eating 5c doughnuts for the next 2 weeks if Munster don't perform.

    Posh git.

    So anything barring a convincing Munster win will see the need for a lot of food stamps being shipped to the Pale by the looks of things :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,816 ✭✭✭LostArt


    It can be massively unconvincing as long as it's by more than 8!

    I've added 1.5 units at evens for -9.

    So everyone is now rooting for a 10 point win at least. Please and thanks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,681 ✭✭✭✭P_1


    Just a win of any sorts will do me :P

    I've gone for a 2/1 acca of Ulster, Munster, Monty, Sarries and Quins wins and a speculative 6/1 acca of Ulster, Munster, Leinster and Racing wins


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


    Old Balance: 38.71 units

    - 4 units (10/11) Munster -8
    - 1.5 units (10/11) Exeter -7
    - .5 units (10/11) Harlequins -10
    - .5 units (6/4) Perpignan to win
    - .5 units (~9/1) Munster, Leinster, Ulster, Castres and Racing to all win

    New Balance: 31.71 units

    I'm very confident that Munster can cover that spread, Edinburgh are absolutely gash and Munster in Heineken Cup mode should win by at least 12 points. Edinburgh's only win this year is 19-16 at home to Dragons. They have the worst offensive and defensive record in the league with 70 points scored and 142 points conceded in 5 matches. Munster weren't brilliant against Leinster but breaking that losing streak can only help. They'll fancy a bonus point in this and I'd like to think they'd like to atone for an average display in Edinburgh last January when they failed to get the BP.

    As always I might add more bets before the w/end.

    Today I added some bets, here is the full list:

    Old Balance: 38.71 units

    - 4 units (10/11) Munster -8
    - 1.5 units (10/11) Exeter -7
    - .5 units (10/11) Harlequins -10
    - .5 units (6/4) Perpignan to win
    - .5 units (~9/1) Munster, Leinster, Ulster, Castres and Racing to all win

    - 1.5 units (evens) Munster -9
    - .5 units (17/10) Simon Zebo to score a try in 80 mins
    - .5 units (17/10) Keith Earls to score a try in 80 mins
    - .25 units (8/1) Niall Ronan to score a try in 80 mins

    Note: PP are refunding tryscorer bets if a forward scores the match's first try.

    New Balance: 28.96 units

    Accum of Perp, Montpellier, Clermont, Toulouse, Sarries, Exeter, Toulon, Northampton, Munster, Ulster.

    10 pays 403. Easy money!

    Hardly worth including at 1/500 though?

    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,681 ✭✭✭✭P_1


    A small 'chasing the losses' acca of Racing +1 and Exeter in the rugby and Denver, Kansas and Seattle in the NFL @3/1 to try and scrape through the weekend with some dignity

    Yeah, always have to use bankroll management or you will loose in the long run.

    Ospreys vs Leinster

    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,681 ✭✭✭✭P_1


    Ospreys vs Leinster

    Ospreys o9.5 in the 1st half 5/6
    Leinster o9.5 in the 1st half 5/6
    More than 19.5 points in total 1st half 5/6

    is that what you mean? it gets confusing when you use - for over when talking about team totals

    Ospreys vs Leinster

    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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,221 ✭✭✭Ugo Monye spacecraft experience


    I'm not messing when I say I thought that Munster -8 was the best value bet I've ever seen

    Just goes to show it really is a mugs game!


  • Subscribers Posts: 41,860 ✭✭✭✭sydthebeat


    I'm Home with clermont to win by 13 or more Tonight, 7/2

    Sneaky bet on lee byrne first try scorer at 14s


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


    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:


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

    Taxi for Thomond...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,478 ✭✭✭✭cson


    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.


  • Subscribers Posts: 41,860 ✭✭✭✭sydthebeat


    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


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,442 ✭✭✭its_phil


    Went for over 1.5 tries in the first half @ evens

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

    You have them on the handicap?
