What a shame that lost for Argentina against Scotland the other day, luckily the PUMAS win the last to make a better impression.

What a shame that lost for Argentina against Scotland the other day, luckily the PUMAS win the last to make a better impression.

I think you'll find Argentina won: ( 34 - 31 )

My money for tonight's games are on the Cowboys and the Eels.

Will post the betting slips later.

Well 1 from 2 there Timelord, I didnt bet on either the Cowboys or Sharks, to me that
would be a flip of a coin.

I have 3 small bets on the NRL this weekend:

Broncos to beat the Titans
Panthers to beat Wests Tigers
Storm to beat the Raiders


Rugby Union

In the Summer Series I'm going with a win for Ireland @ 4.1 against New Zealand, its a
big ask but they are capable.

I'm staying away from the Australia v England, I would be edging towards England but
anything could happen there.

South Africa v Wales - SA big favourites @ 1.13 V 6.2 to Wales. Given last week result
It might be worth a $1 bet on Wales.

Rugby Union

Firstly - MASSIVE win by Ireland and to take the series win away to NZ was very impressive.

Final score: New Zealand 22 - 32 Ireland

 

To go to NZ and play a series and come away with a win is probably one of the pinnacles of
any teams expectations, it would be up there with winning a world cup I would say. Ireland have
never done this so its massive for our small country with a small Rugby playing population, Rugby
is arguably 3rd most popular sport here.

@Timelord2067 - TBH I really thought from the first game that England would win down
under but after the narrow loss in the first game I wasnt confident anymore so I didnt
bet on the following 2 games.

South Africa v Wales, I didnt do the $1 bet, luckily because SA brought their top game out.


Rugby League

It was looking like a 3 from 3 for me this round in the Telstra Premiership but STORM,
what is happening?

Panthers just about scrape the won but are only beaten once so far this season, thats impressive.

[aoluain]

Rugby League - Australia - Telstra Premiership

With 7 rounds left to go before the finals round 19 this weekend is throwing up some
interesting games for example the first game on Thursday sees the Broncos up against
the Eels, positions 5 and 6 on the ladder, the Eels looking to climb and the Broncos hoping
not to start falling outside the top 8 and fail to reach the finals.

To me both teams have been surprising compared to last year, Broncos were really under
performers last year and this year the Eels have had some really mixed results.

The Eels look to be favourites @ 1.57 against 2.29 for the Broncos, I might to a cheeky
bet on the Broncos.

The Panthers will host the Sharks and the Rabbitohs hise Storm, I think I will be picking
the Panthers and Storm along with the Cowboys in second position who meet bottom
of the ladder Wests Tigers.

[Timelord2067]

Rugby League:

The betting site I'm on is forecasting the Eels to win against the Broncos, however, I'm picking the Brisbane team because they sound determined to win in all the interviews I've seen on local TV whereas the Eels all year have been playing a week-to-week game and mentality.

Similarly, the Sea Eagles have recharged and regrouped after their dud start to the season.  The Qld State of Origin Captain is back in the Sea Eagles ranks, so that will fire the team up I would imagine.

Both the Roosters and Canberra (with five or six wins in a row under their helmets) are the obvious choices for their match-ups.

Last week's loss aside, I think the Panthers can almost do no wrong, so I'm going with them.

The Rabbitohs will becalm the Storm who are running out of puff as the season progresses while the Bulldogs will bight the Titans as they tussle to exit the #NRLbottomSIX

... and finally, North Queensland is almost unbackable in second spot on the ladder staring down the Tigers who are still holding the wooden spoon this season.

Massive win by the Broncos yesterday to beat The Eels, 14 - 36 and with great odds too!

Rugby League - Australia - Telstra Premiership


The Eels look to be favourites @ 1.57 against 2.29 for the Broncos, I might to a cheeky
bet on the Broncos.

I have the Sea Eagles for the game starting in a coue of minutes @ 1.64

↓ they better do something serious in the second half, 14-0 at the break....

[Timelord2067]

I'm just watching the start of tonight's game. The Sea Eagles have just kicked off (my monies on them this round).


*edit*

Have done my dash on the Sea Eagles.  I managed to see the first sixty minutes, there were a few knocks and tumbles and a couple of players were carried off the field in much the same way as occurred in Game three of the State of Origin last week.

The Knights and Roosters are playing the later game tonight with the Roosters scoring their second try just now to take the score to 10 - 2 (with the conversion missed) after 27 minutes of game play.


*2^nd edit*

The Roosters have pounded the Knights into oblivion winning 42 - 12.

I have two bets on the NRL for today, same as Timelord Panthers to beat the Sharks and
Rabbitohs to beat Storm. The odds suggest this could go either way, both teams seem to be
evenly positioned on the ladder with wins, losses and points difference.

@Timelord2067 have you picked an outright winner for the tournament? at this stage
last year I had Panthers, Eels and Storm picked, nothing this year though.

[Timelord2067]

The Panther's had a low scoring game last night scoring two minutes before full time to win 20 - 10

As I expected, the Rabbitohs also win their game later in the night.

So far, five from six matches, hopefully this afternoon/evening that'll increase to seven from eight (which would be the first time I've correctly picked seven in the regular season) 

[aoluain]

Going well Timelord! The Bulldogs look like taking the win!

I am 3 from 4 so far which makes a change for me.

For the last game this weekend I'm obviously going to pick the Cowboys, who wouldnt as
the #2 team but the odds are shockingly low. I'm going to try follow the game and hopefully
the Wests Tigers take an early lead and the odds increase for the Cowboys.

I saw the first twenty and last twenty minutes of that game and it didn't occur to me to check the odds mid game.

The Tigers led 12 - 0, then lost 26 - 27 in the nail-bighting end to end all games with one second on the clock.
Watching the last twenty minutes, I really wanted the Tigers to win.


Seven from eight games won this round!

Timelord I picked up the Cowboys at 1.06 during the first half, then checked in at half time
to see that the Tigers were 16 to 6 for the Cowboys, the odds had gone to 1.50 for the
home team so I jumped on it. I checked again during the second half and the Cowboys
were something like 10 points ahead, I didnt see the end of the game, it looks like the last
few plays in the dying minutes were cruciall with a conversion miss by the Tigers and a
penalty shot made by the Cowboys . . . They dont get much closer than that.

I'm happy enough with that win for my wallet!

[Timelord2067]

There's a press conference about to happen in half an hour by the Sea Eagles board over seven of their players refusing to play this week's games against the Roosters.

I'll update when I have more information, but you'd have to imagine the Roosters will be unbackable with ultra low odds.

oh, controversy !
I wonder what this is about?

I have been searching for outright odds on the winner of the NRL and on Rollbit I can
get the Panthers @2.0 and the Cowboys @7.9.

To reach the GRAND FINAL: Panthers 1.39 and Cowboys @3.2.....I kind of banking on
2 teams really based on their ladder position now.

[aoluain]

The Manly Sea Eagles are set to play the Roosters shortly and yes 7 of the team members
are boycotting and not playing because of the teams move to promote inclusiveness
in the sport.

The 7 players are boycotting the move on religious belief grounds.
https://www.skysports.com/rugby-league/news/12196/12659253/manly-players-to-boycott-nrl-match-over-pride-jersey

The odds on the Roosters are low @ 1.10, there might be better odds if Manly take a lead
early on though.

[Timelord2067]

It was a valiant effort, but in the end, the Roosters won 20 - 10 against the Sea Eagles who slotted seven reservists into the squad for last night's match.

Sea Eagles Daly Cherry-Evans nearly scored what has been dubbed the "Almost Try of the Year".  But that's been the problem with the Sea Eagles all year so far.

[aoluain]

And the Eels whup the Panthers, totally unexpected with only 1 loss in 19 games going
into round 20 and the only team to beat them was ... the Eels. If the Eels reach the grand
final that will be a massive psychological advantage.



For todays games I have the Rabbitohs to beat the Sharks against popular opinion @ 2.20
and the Broncos to beat the Wests Tigers @1.09

That and having the Panthers Captain out for five or six weeks for a dangerous throw/tackle will upset their apple cart too.


I've placed bets with a non crypto betting site this round (totally forgot to do it via nitrogenbetting.eu this week)

For the remainder of the season, I'm going with:

Tonight:  Titans over the ... who am I kidding... Raiders over the Titans... Rabbitohos might just have a surprise win over the Sharks and the Broncos should trounce the West's Tigers... IN SAYING THAT... I've got a dollar on the Tigers at seven to one after their last second loss last week.

Tomorrow:  Bulldogs in an upset over the Knights and finally the Cowboys over Saint George.

Newcastle Knights - Canterbury Bulldogs Money Line Canterbury Bulldogs @ 1.42 Taken Amount: 0.10 mBTC Possible Payout: 0.142 mBTC

(I don't seem to be able to place a bet on the Cowboys Vs St. George game either??)



Of the first three games, I went with the Roosters over the Sea Eagles (seven players out - it was a walk over) Storm over Auckland on Auckland's home soil and I lost out picking the Pink Panther's over the Eels who were two slippery in their second head-to head clash this year.

Definitely a psychological advantage for the finals.


In the one Qld Cup game I can put a bet on, I'm going with the Tigers, even though I'd like to see the Jet's get up.

For todays games I have the Rabbitohs to beat the Sharks against popular opinion @ 2.20
and the Broncos to beat the Wests Tigers @1.09

Aaaand the Rabbihohs nearly pulled it off, it was 14 - 8 to the Sharks at half time and
20 - 20 on the 80 minute mark but the Sharks score the golden point on the 86" minute.

Tonight:  Titans over the ... who am I kidding... Raiders over the Titans... Rabbitohos might just have a surprise win over the Sharks and the Broncos should trounce the West's Tigers... IN SAYING THAT... I've got a dollar on the Tigers at seven to one after their last second loss last week.

aaaand that $1 bet on the Wests Tigers Timelord has paid out after the Tigers tore strips
off the Broncos. 18 - 32! That was a good call, I didnt pay any attention or check what
they did last week.

I was able to see the entire game on local TV - East's Tigers (Brisbane) scored two tries that were then answered by the Ipswich Jets (being played on the home field in North Ipswich) with two of their own before the Tigers scored again prior to half time.

The second half was a little more patchy, however the Tigers were always going to win scoring in the last ten minutes to win 32 - 18.
