Not a bad birthday present from the gambling gods

CASH IT BOYS!!!!

[twinky99]

happy belated birthday and thanks for your picks easysaid!

[TBsp75]

some early lines

landers -1.5 v chiefs +1.5
rebels +3.5 v brumbies -3.5
bulls +1.5 v stormers -1.5
canes -3.5 v blues +3.5
reds -2.5 v tahs +2.5
cheetahs +6.5 v sharks -6.5

like brumbies -3.5, they looked really promising last week, good scrum and lineout, solid def. didn't allow a try from reds, good depth on their kickers, nic can kick on halfway and if christian found his stroke they can beat rebels easily. also like stormers -1.5.

[easysaid]

Be cautious when betting on the first couple weeks of any competition, i only like 1-2 lines you've posted but certainly game totals may be a different story.

[thorny]

bulls could be good but stormers prob get it done...-1.5 is enticing.

dunno about brumbies though, if rebels hold the ball they will win. like easysaid mentioned, hard to predict this early, definitely will be waiting for totals

[TBsp75]

stormers -1.5 look real good right? they normally starts the season well. prob becoz they are defensive team. defense easier to pick up than offense when early in the season.

[RLF]

I'd play the Bulls if I had to play that game (will leave it). Stormers had poor trial results whilst the Bulls had decent trial results. Bulls always strong at home in these derbies and the Stormers side will take some time gelling with Jantjies' style. I still favour them for the title because of their depth and new attacking powers but they will build towards it.

Force will win by 30.

[easysaid]

Ok guys here's my only two bets on the spreads this weekend (may have some on the totals, we'll see) -

Waratahs +2.5 vs Reds - 4 Units

Force -9.5 vs Southern Kings - 2.5 Units

[TBsp75]

look like winners already. really like the waratahs as well. reds really an overrated team.

dunno much abt this southern kings team. are they really that bad? force looks decent last week but it was against the rebels.

like these totals as well...
landers v chiefs u47.5
bulls v stormers u43.5
canes v blues o50.5

let's cash these bets!

Im thinking of pulling the trigger on the over in the sharks/cheetahs game but cant find a total anywhere.

cheetahs v sharks match total at 51.5 on bet365

[easysaid]

cheetahs v sharks match total at 51.5 on bet365

Cheetahs/Sharks Game total over 51.5 - 3 Units

Goodluck!

[thorny]

Bulls v Stormers
Either team to win under 7.5 @ 2.10 - 2 units

[TBsp75]

i'll bet blindly on overs when 2 nz teams match up this season.

nice win by the brumbies.

[hawley]

Are the force having a laugh?

Fukk me.

[sweepem]

lol so the force have lost back to back games against the 2 worst teams in the competition.

can't see them winning more that 2 games, probably at home against the rebels and the cheetahs.

[TBsp75]

cash in most of the totals bet last week.

early lines for this weeks matches
blues +3.5 v saders -3.5
tahs -8.5 v rebels +8.5
reds -4.5 v canes +4.5
chiefs -16.5 v cheetahs +16.5
bulls -14.5 v force +14.5
sharks -4.5 v stormers +4.5
only line i like is the canes +4.5, can't wait for the totals.

[aussieH]

Anyone seen Sando?

[thorny]

No mate. Seems like he's gone and I wouldn't blame him...

[TBsp75]

canes +4.5 - 1unit
tahs v rebels under 43.5 - 1unit. jst becoz of the weather.

other games too tough to call

[benandjerry]

Just too many missed chances for the canes, should have covered really...

What you guys like tomorrow?

[TBsp75]

should've lay a reasonable size bet on blues+ too bad im a saders fan. got fuckd by loyalty. wrong bet on the tahs total. bad luck on canes. 3 high % penalty kick missed and spent last 8 mins in reds 22 without a point. wtf's wrong with the canes eh.

im goin 3units on over 53.5 for chiefs v cheetah game. rugby unions really tried to speed up the game this season eh. perfect teams and weather for running rugby.

[TBsp75]

[thorny]

sportsbet has brazil +1.5?

[TBsp75]

sportsbet has brazil +1.5?

tat must be a mistake by sportsbet. ppl are pounding brazil at the moment. china don't stand a chance IMO. most of their players aren't pro athlete. their baseball season was cancelled due to financial issue last yr. all they played was warmup matches during these period. the only runs they scored so far were off wild pitches by jap.

[thorny]

dont know anything about baseball...I'm gonna get all over this before sportsbet realise their mistake then...

[benandjerry]

What an utterly pathetic showing by England tonight... I bet someone watching that score line thinking its a typo error.
