harry_rag Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 Re: Rugby Union Tryscorer Bets Tries from Nadolo and Sarto ensure this won't be the worst weekend in the last few weeks. 2 in the later Super Rugby games. Bulls v Force: Stegmann to score a try, 10 points at 9/2 with Skybet Sharks v Chiefs: Tamanivalu to score a try, 10 points at 9/2 with Skybet ?Edge of 14.1% in both cases.

I make it I'll be 28 points down for the week should neither of these two oblige. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry_rag Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 Re: Rugby Union Tryscorer Bets Tries for both players in the last game make for a big swing in the results for the week. Could have been better still if I'd backed them the other way round as Bodilly scored later and twice. 4 winners from 14 bets for the weekend. Starting bank 1000 points Current bank 1431.8 points Total staked 4607 points Number of bets 450 Winning bets 79 Losing bets 371 Strike rate 17.56% Yield 9.37% Profit (or Loss) +431.8 points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry_rag Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 Re: Rugby Union Tryscorer Bets Of the 431.8 points profit, spread bets have contributed 1 point with the remaining 430.8 coming from fixed odds. That's 152 spread bets with a strike rate of 15.13% and yield of 0.08% compared to 298 fixed odds with a strike rate of 18.79% and yield of 12.69% (20.31% to level stakes). Any views on the argument for persevering with the spread bets for a while longer versus ditching them and concentrating entirely on fixed odds? It certainly looks like the spread prices are more effective at finding value on the fixed odds than the other way round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torque Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Re: Rugby Union Tryscorer Bets It does look as though fixed odds is the way to go - maybe keep a note of spread bets just to see if they pick up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry_rag Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 Re: Rugby Union Tryscorer Bets Thanks for that. I'd probably do that if the picks were automatic but as I review the shortlisted selections subjectively, I'd still have to do that to monitor the performance of the spreadbets, which means I'd still be doing the same amount of study to paper trade them. It feels like I either carry on backing them or stop looking at the potential bets thrown up by the system. I might carry on until there are 200 spread bets to consider but set a minimum target for the bets from now on, e.g. a 5% yield or I stop backing them.

harry_rag Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 Re: Rugby Union Tryscorer Bets Cheers. His try and Tecklenburg's yesterday make for a reasonable weekend so far. Only got time to look at 2 or 3 games today so I'm prioritising them based on highest total points expectations. Bulls v Crusaders: Botha to score a try, 5 points at 17/2 with SX Nadolo to score a try, 20 points at 9/5 with PP Edges of 4.3% and 4.1%. Having an interest in the latter for 2 or more at 13/2 as well, given his strike rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry_rag Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 Re: Rugby Union Tryscorer Bets Ospreys v Zebre: Vunisa to score a try, 8 points at 7/1 with VC Edge of 35.8%, that's likely to be it for today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry_rag Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 Re: Rugby Union Tryscorer Bets With Nadolo making it 3 winners and Botha being a non runner I make it 81 points profit for the weekend with just the Sale v Gloucester game to look at today, which I'm going to do now. Barring a lot of losing bets on that game, it should end up being a profitable weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry_rag Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 Re: Rugby Union Tryscorer Bets No system bets but I'd recommend backing Braid anytime at 9/2 with SX. I also bought his try minutes at 9 but, as they're up to 10, I'd heavily favour fixed odds now. He's scored 10 tries in 30 starts in the Premiership for Sale, scoring in 9 of those games (i.e. has one brace). Next best price is 3/1. Have also had a small bet on him for first Sale tryscorer at 10/1 but the anytime price is the real value. They're out of line here and I think they've underestimated his tryscoring prospects.

harry_rag Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 Re: Rugby Union Tryscorer Bets No winners yet but pressing on regardless! Dragons v Cardiff: Buy L Williams' try minutes for 1 point at 6 with SPIN Edge of 18.1%. He's 9 to buy with SPIN so the maximum difference of opinion. An ok bet on his career stats, an exceptional one based on this season's as he has scored 9 tries in his 15 starts in all competitions. Even if he won't be maintaining that sort of ratio in the long term this looks a fair bet at the very worst. (But then again, so did all the losing ones I've posted so far this weekend!) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry_rag Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 Re: Rugby Union Tryscorer Bets Possibly the last game for now, may have time for 1 more.

harry_rag Posted April 5, 2015 Author Share Posted April 5, 2015 Re: Rugby Union Tryscorer Bets Never going to be a great weekend when your first "winner" is a try minute buy that still loses 1 point (Williams scored in the 5th minute) and you only find 1 tryscorer from 5 selections (Todd) in a game that saw 9 trys scored! 3 games to look at today, so will see if I can reduce the 150 points or so deficit rather than add to it.
