....:::edit:::....
I have bets on the Cowboys, Panthers and Broncos this round, I better start picking
all winners without losses for a while to boost my wallet!!

I am actually 4 from 4 this round, I made some last minute bets on the Rabbitohs and Storm,
all conservative $1 bets but all in the Green which is what I badly needed. I was fearful of the
Raiders upsetting the party but well done to the Broncos.

Rugby Union

Semi Final weekend in the United Rugby Championship this weekend and the 2 top
teams from the pre-finals table are playing at home and I have both backed to win,
both with 0.1mBTC, Leinster @1.11 and the DHL Stormers @1.68. Their game against
Ulster may be a close one but at home the Stormers will be hard to beat especially at
this stage of the competition. As for Leinster, well they will be hurting after losing the final
of the Champions Cup and are desperate for some silverware.

So the final pairing has been decided in the URC, an all South African affair after the
Bulls beat home side Leinster by 1 point and the Stormers saw off Ulster.

Leinster managed to score 4 tries to 2 against the Bulls but were chasing the game even
from half time where it was 14-17. So defending champions and heavy favourites
are out.

In the other semi, Ulster were hard done by after leading the low scoring game 12-15
until in overtime^{85th minute}the Stormers scored a try and conversion to win.

Six from six so far this week with another game about to kick off in under half an hour's time.  The Panthers sprinted in the first five minutes to score their first six points, then followed in up with another six two minutes later.  By the start of the second half, the Knight's Players were exhausted and the commentators kept flagging it in their commentary.

It's doubtful the Warriors woes will be eased tonight and the Eels should wrap the Bulldogs by this time tomorrow.

[aoluain]

You are going well this round Timelord, its looking like a clean sweep this round for you.

The Warriors v Sharks game has just started and I'm just after picking up the Sharks at 1.2!
and yea the Eels should do the business against last place Bulldogs.

In the case of the Eels, its funny how they are in the top 5 having lost some games which
they really should have won.

The Warriors have just scored their second "upset" try in under twenty minutes of game play, so it might an "upset" indeed.

*edit* The Warriors ran out of thermal steam after erupting in the first half to loose out to the Sharks.




Tomorrow after work I'm going to sit down and catch up on the Rugby Union side of things.

They've done it again - I don't even know what was on offer for the Bulldogs.  I wasn't paying attention.

Still Seven from eight is my best round to date!

W the actual F is wrong with the picture above? not even close scoring, was there only 2
Eels players on the field? thats abnormal, I wont be betting on them any more this season
waaaaay too risky.

Round 9 they beat the ladder no.1 the Panthers the following week the are beaten
by the Roosters, its a real mixed bag of a season. Every team here on in should be looking
at the Eels and figuring they can be beaten.

[Timelord2067]

Astonishingly, it put the Bulldogs into fifteenth position mid round on the ladder.

[Timelord2067]

This is going to be a crash and burn week for me - I hadn't realised that there is a Thursday night game this week.  At half time, this is the score:



Had I placed a bet, it would have been on the Rabbitohs who it seems have forgotten how to play Rugby (of any kind)

My other bets for the week are as follows:

Manly Sea Eagles - North Queensland Cowboys   Money Line   North Queensland Cowboys @ 1.52   Taken Amount: 0.10 mBTC   Possible Payout: 0.152 mBTC
Melbourne Storm - Brisbane Broncos   Money Line   Brisbane Broncos @ 5.63   Taken Amount: 0.10 mBTC   Possible Payout: 0.563 mBTC
Cronulla Sharks - Gold Coast Titans   Money Line   Gold Coast Titans @ 4.76   Taken Amount: 0.10 mBTC   Possible Payout: 0.476 mBTC
New Zealand Warriors - Penrith Panthers   Money Line   New Zealand Warriors @ 12.79   Taken Amount: 0.05 mBTC   Possible Payout: 0.64 mBTC
Parramatta Eels - Sydney Roosters   Money Line   Sydney Roosters @ 2.07      Taken Amount: 0.10 mBTC   Possible Payout: 0.207 mBTC
Canberra Raiders - Newcastle Knights   Money Line   Newcastle Knights @ 3.76   Taken Amount: 0.10 mBTC   Possible Payout: 0.376 mBTC
Canterbury Bulldogs - Wests Tigers   Money Line   Wests Tigers @ 2.11      Taken Amount: 0.10 mBTC   Possible Payout: 0.211 mBTC

The Cowboys, Broncos, Titans, Warriors, Roosters, Knights and Tigers.

I couldn't put money on the Panthers over the Warriors, so at over twelve to one (and it seems all other wages are going to crash and burn) I figure I'll go with the outsider.  If it's the only win, then I'll get my money back on the other games.  ^{(You can tell I need a Bex, a cup of tea and a good lye down).}

I can't recall having a "perfect" round of all eight losses - this week may be the exception.

[aoluain]

Jeez Timelord, the Warriors over the Panthers, thats a bit of a long shot!

Regarding the Rabbitohs, yea they are slipping, 7 wins from 14, not good.

Looking at the draws this weekend there are a lot of really close ones.

My first bet of this round is on Nitrogensports with the same odds as you got.


Manly Sea Eagles - North Queensland Cowboys   ML   North Queensland Cowboys @ 1.52   Taken Amount: 0.10 mBTC   Possible Payout: 0.152 mBTC

....:::edit:::....

I'm thinking of betting on both the Broncos and Roosters to beat the favourites, $1 on each!

Eels 1.77  v  2.15 Roosters
Storm 1.13  v  6.6 Broncos

I'm thinking of betting on both the Broncos and Roosters to beat the favourites, $1 on each!

Eels 1.77  v  2.15 Roosters
Storm 1.13  v  6.6 Broncos

So yea my long shot bet on the Broncos yielded nothing, final score 32 - 20.

So I'm 1 from 2 and I have the Sharks to win @1.18 which is looking safe'ish with
67' gone and the score 18-10.


Rugby Union

The final of the United Rugby Championship is scheduled for this evening, an all south
African affair, The DHL Stormers v The Vodacom Bulls.

The Stormers are favourite at 1.68 against the Bulls 2.28 so I'll go with the Stormers.
I recon it will be close though, they seem evenly matched but the Stormers were able
to topple the top performing Leinster side in the semi and the Bulls just about won
their semi.

[aoluain]

Rugby Union



That was a close final 18-13. The first half was all about the Bulls and they went
in at half time leading. They came out in the second half and scored again but
after that the Stormers came to life.

The Stormers had the advantage of playing at home, being the top ranked of the
two they got to play at home.


Rugby League Australia

I think all the favoirites won at the weekend! including the Panthers Timelord, unfortunately
for your bet though.

And game 2 of State of Origin series coming up this week end!

My one shining light this week was the Cowboys brought home the goods.

I'll do some wagers for this week tomorrow.

Gregan excited about 'incredible' opportunity as World Cups returns to Australia

Fri, 13/05/2022, 1:20 pm Nathan Williamson

Wallabies legend George Gregan could barely hide his excitement as the Rugby World Cup to Australian soil, hoping they can replicate the incredible 'festival' of 2003.

Confirmation overnight by World Rugby locked in Rugby World Cup 2027 and 2029 on Australian soil, which will mark the first time a country has hosted the men's event three times.

Along with this, it will be the first time Australia will host the women's event, setting up a stacked calendar of hallmark events for the next decade.

“It’s great news isn’t it? Obviously, there was talk and debate about who was going to get it so it’s really nice to see Rugby Australia and the country get behind two back-to-back national event," Gregan told Rugby.com.au

“The energy these events can bring to a country and the people involved supporting is incredible."

No one knows the power of a home World Cup more than Gregan, captaining the Wallabies in 2003 to the Final.

Whilst the hosts' aspirations of back-to-back titles were crushed by the right foot of Jonny Wilkinson, Gregan likened the atmosphere to the 2000 Olympics, confident Australia will once again embrace the event.

“Being able to host something like this, it’s amazing, it’s no different (feeling) from the 2000 Olympics if you speak to those who were lucky enough to compete in Australia…there’s just moments like that which stand out and to do it in your own country is incredible because you get the support of your family, loved ones and your nation,” he reflected.

“The final was pretty epic going to extra time and everyone knows about Johnny going on his right foot but the effort and energy everyone put into that campaign was something I’m immensely proud of.

“Probably the thing which I remember the most about the World Cup was the celebration of Rugby across the country. I think Japan were up in Townsville, matches played in Tasmania, Perth, (and) Adelaide, we even played in before what it is now. We had (former Australian cricketer and coach) Darren Lehmann come and joined the team.

“We went on to play Ireland on Derby Day…I think they ran out of beer at half-time but it was just that type of events for stories to be told and culminated with two teams getting to the pointy end. It was a wonderful trip and I think Australia really supported that campaign really well.”

With competition in the sporting landscape continuing to grow, Gregan was confident this announcement along with the impending Lions Tour in 2025 and the 2032 Olympics in Brisbane provide the sport with a major carrot to attract the next generation heading forward.

“I think part of it seeing the young kids here today is getting them motivated and excited about Rugby, getting behind their teams and heroes. Seeing an international smorgasbord of sport will motivate and inspire the next generation,” Gregan believes.

“Australia’s a very competitive landscape for sport and moments, events, experiences like this help get (rugby) right in front and right in the mindset around (knowing) this is an incredible international game around the world and competing and celebrating what it is a great game.

“I think when a World Cup, you’ve got people from all around the world making sure they lock in that period of time out of their life and make sure they support their team in what will be a Rugby festival.

“That’s not different across the world. In 2015 in England, the hotel I stayed at the Pumas (fans) were staying at but they were supporters there to support Argentina. They were just there to be part of the activity and support and they went pretty deep but that’s the Rugby World Cup and what we have for the next six or eight years which is going to be exciting.”

Dust off your passport and get packing!

Rugby League Australia

I'm also going with Queensland for a second win in the State of Origin series
@ 2.23 on Rollbit, I'm doing a micro bet - $1

I'm going to hold off witht he premiership until next week and make a few bets
then after I boost my wallets with some tennis betting . . . hopefully


Rugby Union Mid Year Internationals

Yea for the first game between New Zealand and Ireland I'm going with New
Zealand too on Nitrogensports @ 1.16 ML 0.11mBTC

Here is a list of all the games scheduled > https://www.rugbypass.com/internationals/fixtures-results/

I came across an interesting few pages on https://wallabies.rugby/ where they are
the head to head season stats for each game scheduled in the July Internationals.

I'm going to take two more bets on Rollbit, each with $1.50

Argentina v Scotland - ML Scotland @ 2.85 > https://wallabies.rugby/match-centre/3/2022/930642?tab=Season-Stats

World Cup 2027 & 2029

Dust off your passport and get packing!

Do you have camping space on your lawn?

I have a good friend who lives in Melbourne whom I havent seen In a long time,
so I could get to see two ends of the country and take in some Rugby!!!

A bold five-venue plan for a Queensland-based Rugby World Cup for women in 2029 is being discussed as a possible hosting model.

Maybe 2029, gives you plenty of time to prepare my camping spot!!!

[Timelord2067]

Do you have camping space on your lawn?

Sadly no.  I did have some property north of Brisbane a few years ago, but it got sold (nice drive though).

State of Origin Game 2.

OMG what a disaster the second half turned out to be!  In the first five minutes, NSW scored a two point penalty kick and at half time the score was 14 - 12.  During half time, the NSW players looked to relaxed walking around and chatting while the Queensland players sat in a semi-circle and received instructions.  But it was to no avail.  Gone was the brilliance of the first game and Qld didn't put on another point loosing 44 - 12.

Game three (being played at Lang Park Brisbane - Capital of Qld) had better be dynamite to make up for game two!

[aoluain]

Oh man, that final score looks brutal. The game at half time was still alive but the sin
bin for Queensland seems to have done a fair bit of damage according to the report
on fox sports > https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/state-of-origin/state-of-origin-2022-nsw-blues-vs-queensland-maroons-game-two-live-updates-news-start-time-teams-scores/news-story/aff2b253e1cbed6a123b1e05f5aedede

Hopefully the home finale will get Queensland over the line.

I have to make a few bets for the Telstra Premiership. There looks like there could be
some close matches although every time I say that the games end up totally lopsided.

Cowboys v Broncos
Rabbitohs v Eels
Dragons v Raiders
Warriors v Wests Tigers

I'll stay away from the bottom three and probably go with the Cowboys

Affairs "down under" are not going well for the Irish team, they played the Moari All Blacks
today and got trounced 32-17. I'm not sure how we are going to do against the All Blacks
on Saturday, we had a few injuries today which doesnt bode well for whats coming.


Rugby League

I have the following bets on for this coming round 16

Melbourne Storm to beat Manly Sea Eagles tomorrow @ 1.32

Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks to beatCanterbury-Bankstown Bulldgs @ 1.33

North Queensland Cowboys to beat the Brisbane Broncos @ 1.45

[Timelord2067]

At half time, the Manly Sea Eagles led the Storm 18 - 6 with a last minute try (the Sea Eagles' Captain is on conversion duties tonight and isn't doing a good job of it).  I've just put a second bet on the Panthers:



Manly Sea Eagles - Melbourne Storm Money Line Melbourne Storm @ 2.65 Taken Amount: 0.06 mBTC Possible Payout: 0.159 mBTC

We'll know in an hour if they can lift their game (I hope so!)

Thanks for the links - I'm still not sure what's happening over at Twitter, but it's letting me add teams again.

[aoluain]

OMG, I saw the score with 10 minutes to go and couldnt believe it, I recon if Storm had
started their amazing finish 5 minutes earlier they might have pulled off a win. Look at
the action from Storm with 5 minutes to go....

Sounds like that was one crazy game, Manly scoring 5 tries in a in the first half,
and Storm scoring 4 in the last 5 minutes, anyway thats a loss for us.

[Timelord2067]

Yeh, I just heard on the radio what I missed after I headed to bed at half time.  I thought the Storm would recover quickly in the second half, however, it was Manly's collapse in the last ten minutes that nearly lost them the game.
