    Sharks - NRL

    Ok here's the situation...

    A mate of mine reckons the sharks are a team that will finish in the bottom 4 of the table this year. He is so confident that he offered me odds of $7.50 for sharks to make top 10, yes he gave me top 10 not the normal top 8!!!

    So i put a lousy $100 at those odds

    Is he a nutter or am I the fool here?

    That's a tough one, titans, eels, roosters, raiders could be beaten, there's a chance all these bottom teams could have make a dash for it also, alot of talent but just not clicking yet, imo they will be bottom 4

    Could pay to have a look at the draw for the rest of the season and jump on one of the ladder predictors

    It would be a horrible bet for the top 8 but top 10 it might be alright.

    Also he is betting bottom 5 not bottom 4. There are 16 teams.

    Betfair could also be an option if you want to arbitrage and guarantee some money, haven't used it for NRL so don't know what the market is like for it.

    I'd love to be taking those $7.50 odds though, definite value given that Sharks actually have a good side when they put together a consistent game. Any team that beats St George has to have potential.

    Game was played in a thunderstorm on a swamp and the Dragons has just been told Bennett was leaving at the end of the year. I wouldn't read too much into it.

    Actually it would be bottom 6. Apparently I can't do basic math.
