    Ill start off with a 4 Option Multi / Parlay Bet

    1) Winner of Pool A - New Zealand
    2) Winner of Pool B - England
    3) Winner of Pool C - Australia
    4) Winner of Pool D - South Africa

    Risking 4 Units @ $2.22 (TAB NZ)

    England and South Africa will bring their A games to the RWC and should clean up in their pools

    YTD 2-1 : +3.358 Units


    ALSO:

    Rather than bet for the All Blacks to win the RWC (@ $1.65 = $65 Profit) - I thought Id start a rolling All Blacks bet instead and try to make some value out of them winning the World Cup (So basically ill only bet Head to Head options in the later stage of the tournament - And a few other options in pool play against the weak teams) - Basically I stand to lose $100. And make alot more than $65 if the All Blacks win the tournament.


    I was not going to post this on the forum so did not post the first bet.



    Bet was:


    $100 @ $1.17 - NZ to score first



    New AB's Total $117


    I have no reason to lie about the bet but can post a screenshot of the bet if needed

    Australia -11 : Risking 8 Units @ 1.90 (Bet 365)
    Went a bit crazy here with Australia. Stand to lose more than half of my RWC profit (which I made over the last 7 pool games). Ireland will start strong, especially after seeing the game against Italy, but see Australia overcoming/countering this. Ireland didn't exactly put the USA team to bed.

    Tonga -6 : Risking 4.4 Units @ 1.90 (Bet 365)
    Expecting Tonga to come out firing against a Canadian team who haven't gotten over their first game jitters yet.

    Georgia +19.5 : Risking 4 Units @ 1.87 (Pinnacle)
    Missed out of Georgia +22.5 - Still should be a solid play


    Rolling ABs bet.

    Bet 1. All Blacks to score first : $100 @ 1.17 :: WIN [New Total $117]
    Bet 2. All Blacks Win : $117 @ 1.01

    These lines have been way too big all tournament. This is another.

    Canada* +7 -115 vs Tonga 2U
    Canada* +220 vs Tonga .5U
    Namibia* +30½ -115 vs Samoa 1U

    5Dimes


    Think Tonga will have trouble peaking again so soon after facing the All Blacks. Plus the score in that match flattered them imho. The Canadians were praised for their defense in lead up games, whilst still scoring plenty of points. They were ranked ahead of Tonga pre-tourney and think it will go back to that way after this match.

    Namibia has made a couple of attack minded team changes from the Fiji match where they scored 25. If that's any gauge, I don't like Samoa's chances of scoring 56+

    Sorry for the confusion - I like this play, but made 3 bets on the same selection - Would have been nice to have all units on +33.5

    Namibia +30 : Risking 1 Unit @ 2.00 (Bet 365)
    Namibia +31.5 : Risking 2 Units @ 1.87 (TAB NZ)
    Namibia +33.5: Risking 1 Unit @ 1.87 (TAB NZ)

    Japan +56.5 : Risking 3 Units @ 1.87 (TAB NZ)

    A few decent changes to the Tongan team, players going back to their preferred positions etc - Should help them beat Canada

    I am on the NZ vs Japan Game Too +58.5

    With a few NZ star players out hurt or injured...I really think Japan and their NEVER SAY DIE attitude can cover this.

    Good luck.

    Good picks so far Exodus, I'm on Georgia, and just booked in Japan and Namibia too - love backing the underdog, half the fun of these bets.

    Disappointing Tongan team, now they are basically out of the world cup!

    I made another bet at half time for Georgia +15.5 @ $2.00 (TAB NZ) - But as it was not posted it will not count towards the stats - No point lying/making up stats!

    All Black margin of victory 51-60 is being offered at $4.00 on betfair.

    Am I wrong in thinking that seems pretty good value for a shot with the books setting it from 57.5 to 54.5?

    Its hard to say, its no where near the 'final' starting line up, but alot of the players are fighting for a starting spot in later games. Ie if Mills was playing I would have expected an awesome game from him as Dagg is / was (before another injury) played great

    Anyways my point is that it will high scoring, just hope it falls in between the spread !

    GOOD LUCK
    Great points here!
