harry_rag Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 A thread for any bets on Rugby League during 2022. Seems timely with Superleague getting underway later. Not much action in here on RL usually but if you've got any bets please stick them in here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry_rag Posted February 10, 2022 Author Share Posted February 10, 2022 Some random musings on the player markets for St Helens v Catalans later. Saints hotshots are priced at 43-44 and my "true" value is 43.3. Catalans are 28-31 and 29.36. So, in both cases, my "true" price (based on the player try minutes quotes) is within the spread. On that basis, I'd say the hotshots prices look "technically correct". I'd be interested to see if that's usually the case throughout the season as, in my experience, it certainly isn't when it comes to Rugby Union hotshots. In terms of anytime trycorer prices, I can't find a single price that looks too big compared to the spreads. (To be fair, I don't do that well selecting bets in that way, but if no prices even look like they might be value on that basis then I'd say it's not a backer's market in tonight's game.)

Labrador Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Saints new full back Jack Welsby is a dynamic attacking player who could get a few opportunities this evening. Just about worth a dabble to score a try at 13/8. harry_rag 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given it’s a marathon not a sprint I’ll play the “no bet” card for the curtain raiser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Labrador Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Cheers?. Have had a small buy of Joey Lussick at 8. Has been signed as cover for hooker James Roby who often plays for the whole game. However, it may be that Roby will be increasingly "preserved" given his advancing years. It's conceivable that Lussick might have nearly 40 mins on the pitch or at least play against tiring opponents in the last quarter of the game. Has a decent try-scoring record - notably for Salford. Could well have some darts from dummy half near Cats' line. harry_rag 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Labrador Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 "Could well have some darts from dummy half near Cats' line." Lussick reads the script perfectly and darts over in 74th minute for 66 points profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Labrador Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Hoping for another dummy-half dart this evening from Castleford hooker, Paul McShane, who is a standout 9/2 with Spreadex. Reportedly Salford are pretty lightweight in the pack compared to their hosts, so there could be opportunities for McShane. harry_rag 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Labrador Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 In tonight's TV game conditions look good ahead of the weekend's forecast heavy rain. Hoping that Hull KR will play their usual expansive, attacking style and that their visitors Wigan will not yet have adapted to several personnel changes and one or two key absentees through injury. Perhaps worth a buy of Hull KR's multi-points at 87. harry_rag 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Labrador Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 (edited) With Blake Austin making his debut for a depleted Leeds at Wigan this evening in very windy conditions it looks as if 40/20's could be on the cards. Worth a crack at 100/30 for a successful 40/20 if anyone can bet with Hills. Edited February 18, 2022 by Labrador harry_rag 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harry_rag Posted February 18, 2022 Author Share Posted February 18, 2022 And 15 points on Cust to score at try at 3/1 Sky Bet. An appealing standout price though my recent history in this market isn't great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was allowed more than expected on the 40/20 bet (6 "points") so have topped up with skybet at 3/1. Good luck with Cust (who could also come to our aid on the 40/20 front). harry_rag 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Labrador Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Having watched a fair bit of the televised RL so far this season I have been particularly impressed by the attacking flair of Hull KR's half-back, Mikey Lewis. This evening Rovers entertain Castleford in what should be very good playing conditions suitable for an attacking game. Lewis is a bit of value for me to score a try at 3/1 with Hills and Unibet. harry_rag 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry_rag Posted March 11, 2022 Author Share Posted March 11, 2022 Kay to score a try for Wakefield looks big at 5/4 in a few places. Him and Johnstone are both quoted in the 40s for try minutes which would usually correspond with an odds on quote for anytime. Johnstone is indeed 4/6 best so I can't resist an interest in Kay at the bigger price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry_rag Posted May 28, 2022 Author Share Posted May 28, 2022 Farrell anytime try at 5/2 Fred looks decent in the Challenge Cup final, will do me for an interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Labrador Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Clash of the top 2 teams in the Championship on Premier Sports TV this evening with Leigh hosting Featherstone Rovers. Although the home side are favourites, I reckon there must be value in Fev's half-back, Ryley Jacks to score a try. In 8 games since the start of April Jacks has only failed to touch down in one of them and has amassed 13 tries, including two hat-tricks and two braces. Obviously he's up against the toughest opponents this evening but for me is still worth a bet to score at 7/2 (Hills, Bet 365). harry_rag 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Labrador Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 It's worth checking out the weather around Sydney over the weekend. Forecast for torrential rain and very high winds. Should point to some unders bets in the NRL. The one I favour is Rabbitohs v Eels at the Accor Stadium which kicks off at 5.35 Aussie time to coincide with the worst of the weather. I've sold match multi-points at 376 (SX). SPIN only 2 points lower at 374. [Pity the RU International is in Perth]. harry_rag 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Labrador Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Annoying that the game I quoted as most favourable had a multis make up of 432 despite being played on a quasi-paddy field, when the other Sydney match (Bulldogs v Sharks) made up at only 144. The weather is not relenting tomorrow so I'm also having a crack at the game at Wollongong between Dragons and Raiders. I've backed under 37.5 match points at evens (skybet) and split stakes with sells of multi-points at 317 (SPIN) and cross-points at 316 (SX). With neither side yet reaching 300 points scored for the season to date, hopefully the terrible weather will mean they have to wait another two or three games to reach that milestone. harry_rag 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry_rag Posted July 9, 2022 Author Share Posted July 9, 2022 Wakefield v Toulouse: Armitage to score a try at 2/1 and to score 2 or more at 12/1 with Hills I don't often look beyond the spreads in RL but this makes some appeal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry_rag Posted July 9, 2022 Author Share Posted July 9, 2022 Well I was on the verge of posting a "shoot me next time you see me considering a RL tryscorer bet" when Armitage pops up with Toulouse's 7th try right at the death. Still a market best played in moderation though I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry_rag Posted July 10, 2022 Author Share Posted July 10, 2022 Gone for McQueen to score a try in the Huddersfield v Salford game at 23/10 PP (12/5 if you're that mythical beast that can get a bet on with Boyles). SPIN have his try minutes at 27-30 implying they rate him at around a 6/5 shot while SX are only 16-19 which is more like 9/4. You could combine their prices and say that pitches him around the 6/4 mark. Personally I'd say that I don't think he should be any bigger than 2/1.

harry_rag Posted July 10, 2022 Author Share Posted July 10, 2022 26 minutes a more acceptable time to wait for a winner! Might end up regretting not playing the brace again though, in the long run, I think there's a better chance of a positive return from sticking to anytime.

Far too big for me even allowing for the more exalted opposition. Half those odds or less in most places. I've accidently overstaked this by typing a 9 instead of a 0! Luckily it was the final digit!

harry_rag Posted July 30, 2022 Author Share Posted July 30, 2022 Leeds Rhinos Hotshots (Fusitu'a, Hardaker, Handley, Newman) might be worth a buy at 39 with SPIN later. Only SX have priced up the try minutes and they suggest a "true" value of 47.7 and a minimum of 44.2. Over Leeds last 9 games (May-July) I make it that the lowest total you'd have seen would've been 16 (2 non-participants) and the highest 158 with an average of 42.3. Admittedly you'd have only won 3 times and lost 6 but, all in all, I'd say the price looks a few points too low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
