harry_rag Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 NRL back tomorrow. Given the scarcity of posts in this section of the forum I think it's fair to say that a single thread will do for any bets on any competitions taking place this year. Not sure I'll have anything on tomorrow's Dragons v Rabbitohs game but thought I'd get the thread started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry_rag Posted March 10, 2021 Author Share Posted March 10, 2021 Storm v Rabbitohs: 20 points on Graham to score a try at 23/10 with PP Spreads suggest the price is generous and his stats for last season support the view. Seems a reasonable bet to get the thread started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Labrador Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Brisbane Broncos v Parramatta Eels. Reading through various previews Broncos have changed their coach but not much else after their torrid time last year. It is generally felt that Eels could be a top 4 side again, although they ended last season poorly. Plenty of thundery showers forecast for Brisbane early in the day but set to be a clear dry evening (8.05 pm KO Aussie time). Tempting to go with Eels -6.5 on the handicap but have had a crack at a buy of Eels' multi-points at 156 with Spreadex. harry_rag 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlucky, had to double check when I saw that both teams' multis apparently made up at 0. Talk about a game of two halves, Roosters v Sea Eagles: 12 points on Gosiewski to score a try at 9/2 with PP (ok at 4/1 in a few places). The only bet that appeals to me in tomorrow's trio of games.

Labrador Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Terrible weather forecast for Sydney on Saturday where 2 games are set to take place. First is Bulldogs v Panthers at Bankwest Stadium (3pm kick off - Aussie time), and the second is Sea Eagles v Rabbitohs at Lottoland (5.30 pm kick off). Based on the reports of performances so far and previews from Down Under I prefer to bet on the 2nd game which should witness a heavy pitch and heavy rain throughout the entire game. Sea Eagles were very poor last week, and Rabbitohs are widely tipped. However, both tams made a losing start but Rabbitohs improved markedly in the second half after an opening period of much dropped ball and knock-ons. The Aussie pundits expect a low-scoring affair but with some prospect that Rabbitohs could cut loose despite the weather. I could sell multi points at 344, but I'm going with the slightly less potentially profitable option with a sell of cross points.

Manly Sea Eagles v South Sydney Rabbitohs: SELL match cross-points at 324 (SX) A 12 point profit if my grade C O-Level maths is up to scratch, and the right choice of market as multis would've shown a loss. I was on the wrong end of Johnston's try minutes in that game. Labrador 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Labrador Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Yes, small profit. Should have gone for the other game in Sydney as Bulldogs failed to score, which would have yielded a zero make up (could have sold X-points at 307). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Labrador Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Good that Super League is back this evening. Leigh have a daunting start on paper taking on Wigan at neutral Headingley. Wigan seriously depleted in the backs without French, Hastings, Marshall, Gildart , Manfredi etc. However Wigan look very powerful in the pack and could well strangle Leigh up front. At the prices I feel there is a bit of value in Wigan prop Brad Singleton to score a try (7/1 Spreadex). The obvious candidate to score is John Bateman returning from the NRL. However, prices too skinny for my liking (although have had the 50 pence allowed me by Betfair Sportsbook on a Bateman hat-trick at 90/1). harry_rag 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harry_rag Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 Leigh v Wigan: 25 points on Field to score a try at 13/8 PP, 6 on the brace at 10/1 PP and 2 (free bet to use up) on the hattrick at 66/1 Hills Debutant and caught my eye pre line ups as the spreads were 30 to sell which pitched him at around an even money shot. Maybe he should be bigger than that, but not as big as the prices taken. He starts so the bets are on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Field did shorten to around evens apparently, not that it's any consolation!

Labrador Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) This evening Castleford v Hull FC looks likely to be a close game in hot conditions given that both sides have had a quick turnaround. With Marc Sneyd (in particular) and Danny Richardson in oppostion there could be a bit of value in a drop goal being kicked. Available at 100/30 with Coral and Bet 365. [Have also taken Hull (-3.5) at 10/11 on the handicap]. Edited June 10, 2021 by Labrador harry_rag 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Labrador Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Having toyed between betting on a drop goal or a 40/20, there was not even an attempt at a drop goal but inevitably there was a successful 40/20 (was available at 7/2). At least Hull FC easily covered the handicap . Bedlam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Labrador Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Leigh are starting to show plenty of spirit and maybe their first win is not that far away. I don't really expect it will come this afternoon against Hull FC but maybe they can continue their recent trend of notching up a few points with nothing to lose. Leigh scored 30 points last time out against leaders Catalan Dragons and previously 20 against Wakefield. Conditions should be good for an open, high-scoring game (albeit against the trend of this round of fixtures which has been a godsend for sellers of multi-points). I've had a buy of Leigh points at 17 (Sporting Index) and all that Betfair Sportsbook will allow (£2.08?) on Leigh forward Ben Hellewell to score a try at 6/1. He has a decent record over his career (much in the Championship admittedly) and has 3 tries in his last 3 outings in Superleague. harry_rag 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harry_rag Posted June 25, 2021 Author Share Posted June 25, 2021 England Women v Wales Women: Sell England Women hotshots for 1 point at 171 with SPIN (Stanley, Goldthorp, Hardcastle, Beevers) Whilst the title of the forum's foremost expert on Women's rugby league is probably hotly contested by me and @Labrador with neither of us claiming any great knowledge, I had to post this one for posterity. Lab knows far more about the sport than me and researches his bets much more diligently. All I'd say is I know more about the markets than the sports and, in my opinion, there are two things to be said about selling hotshots quotes in 3 figures; there aren't many opportunities and they will generally be profitable! My records only include 3 sells at >100, all in RU and showing a profit of 166 points. On a quiet day, I thought I'd offer this one up for posterity.

With Rangi Chase having aleady quit West Wales Raiders (what a surprise!) I'm looking at the handicap when they entertain (sic) Hunslet tomorrow at 3 pm. The visitors might be able to cover a 48 points handicap but I'm not sure I can trust them sufficiently to put any cash down. Chase has reportedly gone to Rochdale Hornets who host North Wales Crusaders on Sunday. Hoping for a decent play on Rochdale when handicaps emerge, since I'm sure Rangi will be outstanding for them for a couple of games at least until something "goes wrong" for him. harry_rag 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry_rag Posted June 25, 2021 Author Share Posted June 25, 2021 11 tries for England so perhaps a little fortunate that the hotshots only got 2 of them. Made up at 50 for a profit of 121 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harry_rag Posted August 1, 2021 Author Share Posted August 1, 2021 Wigan v Leigh: 20 points on Farrell to score a try at 6/4 PP (13/8 of you can get on with BFS) No more than evens elsewhere and odds on in most places.

harry_rag Posted August 1, 2021 Author Share Posted August 1, 2021 Leeds v Warrington: 20 points on Myler to score a try at 21/10 with Uni (or Lads). Both go top price 2/1 with the option of a boost.
