    2012/13 Heineken Cup

    in Rugby Union Predictions

    Posted

    Re: 2012/13 Heineken Cup It seemed to go well in the Heineken cup last weekend so I thought I'd have another go - Firstly I'll take Ulster on the handicap this weekend against Glasgow. Ulster are a team with momentum at the moment and will have Nick Williams and Ruan Peinaar back in the team (although Marshall is unlucky to miss out given he produced a fine performance last weekend). They are no strangers to Glasgow playing them year in, year out in the Celtic League. This season Ulster have already beaten Glasgow 18-10 with a somewhat understrength team although this was in Belfast. Ulster -4 @ 1.91 Stanjames Second bet is Toulon against Cardiff. Cardiff's form has been patchy in the Rabo this year and have been defeated at home three times already (Edinburgh, Glasgow and Ulster). Last week they managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory against bottom of the premiership Sale. Toulon by contrast have only lost once this season (against Toulouse) and looked impressive against Montpellier 2XV last week. My only concern comes with backing a French side away from home in Europe, which traditionally has not been the greatest of ideas. Toulon -6 @ 1.91 Stanjames

    Re: 2012/13 Heineken Cup I've had a look at outrights and I think Ulster at over 20-1 seems quite generous. To make this clear I am an Ulsterman and I hope that this isn't clouding my judgement. Ulster reached the final last year (admittedly this was a surprise) and have strengthed their squad this year, they now have a strong 22 rather than just a strong match day XV. The returning Bowe and Wilson as well as the addition of Nick Williams (who was actually starting to look fit prior to his rib injury) seem to be good pieces of business. They are the only team going into the Heineken cup unbeaten this season and despite having a tough group will be looking qualify top. One area of concern for me is at 10 where Paddy Jackson is unproven. I will be monitoring this bet later in the tournament looking to pay it off as Ulster's odds drop. Heineken cup 2012/13 Winner Ulster 28-1 Youwin This weekend I suggest that Exeter will beat the 17 point spread against Leinster. So far this season Leinster have not been at their top form ad have a injury concerns over a number of their squad. Exeter have proven themselves consistent at every level they have played and I think they will spurred on by the chance to take the step up once more and play in Europe's elite competition. Exeter +17 @ 1.91 Bet365

    Chris "Jesus" Fergusson Podcast

    Re: Chris "Jesus" Fergusson Podcast This thread has been one of the most useful threads that I have read in this forum, I have always found that I have been better at cash games than I have at MTTs (as you may see from my record in various PL leagues) and this thread has proved really valuable to me. :ok

    Firstly I’d like to say that I didn’t start with the recommended $1 but by taking what I had in my virgin account at the time (approx $40) but by using the 5% of this at the right level I have been able to work my way up and now have a healthy balance that I wouldn’t have imagined possible when I started this. I feel my game is a lot more focused now compared with when I used to just stick at one level regardless of profit/loss/bankroll.

    Another lesson I’ve learnt how crucial stack size is in cash games, in the past I have been guilty of buying into $0.25/0.5 NL with $5 or $10 when the maximum buy in is $50, this just leads to you being bullied by the bigger stacks at the table. I would strongly suggest buying for at least half the maximum buy in or better still the full amount, be the bully, don’t be bullied.

    The last thing I want to say is that it obviously helps to be a fooking good poker player like Chris Fergusson ‘cos $20000 in 4 months seems pretty impossible to me. :notworthy

    So this (along with being back in Ireland and my rugby season starting up again) is why I haven’t been so active in league/focus games, I’ve be concentrating on my cash games. I will however try and make the effort to get back involved with some of the PL games soon.
