    Cashed Final score 33 BOP - 17 OTAGO

    Would have definitely been alot closer if otago didnt a sin bin in the second half, was tied a 12 - 12 HT but certainly bay of plenty were planty the better rugby.

    Will post another small play tommorow and have a big play coming up over the weekend.

    Cheers,

    No worries mate, and no im a kiwi through and through.

    Posted todays play - Hawkes Bay -3 over Counties Manukau - 1 Unit

    a little unsure about this counties side but reckon HB should get it done infront of their homecrowd, especially with 2 losses already (remeber these boys made it to the minor premiership last year).

    I look at alot of variables like past results, conditions, home advantage, injuries, derby-matches etc would you like a writes up on these picks, I just find no-one reads them though :/ and im not sure what that 500k rugby pool things about im not a fan of picking winning team and margins.

    Do many people play those pools?

    I doubt I would make it past the first night.

    Don't know how you guys can use the TAB unless it isn't one of your main outs?

    The odds and options are terrible.

    gonna be lots ppl betting on rugby pool this week coz its 500k. u don't need to win all 10 matches to win. there's around 15k price for 2nd and 3rd place. TAB just real convenient for kiwis coz its everywhere, but if u try to go pro on sports investment definitely need another sportsbook. i like pinnaclesports.

    I use the TAB purely for its convenience. Nothing beats being able to get cash out whenever you want.

    For winning long term it becomes a lot harder.

    I have been waiting for years just for the TAB to put up NRL totals

    First ITM Cup pick this weekend -

    Canterbury -16.5 over North Harbour - 3 Units

    Playing down in canterbury for the first time this season with a dry track, canterbury aren't going to show much mercy against a weak harbour side. Game might be close for the first half but the boys in red & black should open the floodgates in the second, going with this for 3 Units.

    Biggest play so far - Waikato vs Northland over 53.5 - 5 Units

    Sorry guys 5 minutes to game starts, get a live bet on at Bet365. This game makes for the perfect over, northland is purely an offensive side and waikato (last year premier finalists) will pile it on. good luck all!

    Dont take too long to lay your bets.

    Haha, thanks! almost lost the bet with both sides creating 15 back to back errors and missed kicks.
    Current Record 6-0-0 +17 Units

    This weeks picks -

    Wellington/Hawkes Bay u53.5 (ITM Cup) 4 Units
    Canterbury -6.5 over Auckland (ITM Cup) 2 Units
    Bay Of Plenty ML (ITM Cup) 2 Units
    Canterbury -16.5 over North Harbour - 3 Units
    Waikato vs Northland over 53.5 - 5 Units
    Hawkes Bay -3 over Counties Manukau - 1 Unit

    Current Pick -

    Wellington/Southland - Game total under projected for 3 Units

    With Wellington playing their weakest lineup so far this season (a lot of young inexperienced talent) and Southland looking for redemption for last weeks drubbing, this game should make for the perfect under. If you manage to get anything from your sportsbook over 50 points jump on it otherwise leave this alone.

    Auckland -13.5 over Manawatu for 3 Units

    Unfortunately for auckland this week they had to play a pissed off canterbury side at home which isnt always going to help your stat sheet, but this auckland side when inform are definetly one of the best teams in the comp and and this spread is far to low for a team of this nature. Manawatu on the other hand are a definitely one of the worst teams in the comp (a huge stepdown from last year) and dont pose much of a threat at all despite being well rested.

    bet365 got both of these 2, no total wellington vs southland yet though, make sure you are looking under rugby union not league.

    very well done! spot on with that under, few books opened it at 46.5, couple at 48.5, which was no good. Did anyone besides bet365 have it at 50.5 that you know of?

    Nah not sure, only use bet365.

    Was only going to play the under if it was 50 points or more.

    Should have been alot less was so many soft tries for wellington, anyway a win is a win.

    Current Pick -

    Counties Manukau -2.5 over North Harbour for 4 Units

    Despite playing away, counties will show up tommorow with all guns blazing after they gave away a 17 point lead last game against the magpies to lose 30-37.
    grab it quick will definitely jump before kick off!

    No big write up needed.

    Honestly no clue mate.

    I'm not a fan of union at all and have been preoccupied with league recently

    Truth be told I don't even know the line...
