That's just like when you find $20 in your pocket you didn't know you left in there.

**hels** · 03-29-10, 04:09 AM

and there's the first Cronulla defensive self-explosion

Is your over 38.5 or 40.5 kingfish??? I don't think anyone thought Cronulla's defense was this weak.

Yeah although this is a little more than $20

well and truly over now as I've got the souths with a +6.5 start on PYOL so no problem there at all unless sharks lose there minds and become champions

hahah... only if they could convert. With how they're kicking they need 4 more tries to be ahead by 2!!

**hels** · 03-29-10, 04:25 AM

Imeant 4 more to get back to even... and why are they incapable of catching the ball?

**Domestic** · 03-29-10, 04:35 AM

Sharks terrible defensive and ineptitude under the high ball has made any effect the wet weather has on the scoring just about void.

Completely agree. They are beyond awful in the air. Imagine if it was windy lol

**t4_ever** · 03-29-10, 04:53 AM

Wow...

Its under 38.5

Nice Win for all who believe in under !!!!

**Domestic** · 03-29-10, 04:54 AM

Wow the under ended up cashing. Well done to those on it.

**Samuraifan** · 03-29-10, 05:00 AM

BIG gratz to all those to cashed with the under. The rabbits gave us all a score in the 2nd half there - they had game didn't they. Now I just have to wait for another hour before my heart stops pounding

**kingfish28** · 03-29-10, 05:01 AM

For all the souths and sharks fans out there your sides really need to take themselves out of the comp this season bcoz they are worse than last year and nothing short of a joke. How I didn't hit the over I will never know. Penalty conversion right in front at halftime and can't convert. Both teams can't even hold a catch, I think my 8 yr old cuz would hold those. Will not take sths or sharks for the rest of the year, other side a lock. To those who cashed on the under well done, good call. Let's jump on the afl thurs nite

Haha, if Sharks could of caught the ball propely the under would of been safe as houses, a win is a win well done samurai.

**hels** · 03-29-10, 05:02 AM

Congrats to everyone on the Souths and the Under

Sometimes we gotta remember it's not how it happens, just that it does happen. Under was the right play and ended the winning play. Pretty nervous times during the match but it held up and pays off.

ML: 5-5 -$82
PS: 5-5 -$91
OU: 11-2 +$872 OU Leans 1-0

Year to Date +699

I don't think I will hedge this. Souths will probably slow it down and lull the Sharks too sleep. I also can't see the Sharks scoring more than one try this half and unless Cronulla's defense does some more self-exploding the Souths will play quite conservatively.

Of course I'm trying to self-persuade that the Under 38.5 was the best play pregame

Spot on

Although the last 10 minutes was a bit of a nail biter for it to stay under.

I hadn't thought about that with the Souths but you're right, they won't be overly competitive and lose alot of games in the final 15-20 minutes. It almost appears that they were trying too hard at times tonight and not aware of their own ability (or lack thereof). They're at home vs. the Bulldogs next week and I can already feel good value with the Bulldogs on the road.

I'd be willing to take dogs as high as -8 in that game.

**Wade Dwayne** · 03-29-10, 07:01 AM

Woo under cashs

didnt watch this game but saw the final score and how bad are these Sharks? and how much worse are these sharks with tim smith ?

**kingsr** · 03-29-10, 07:19 AM

Sharks will NOT win a game this year! And souths will NOT make the 8

**kingsr** · 03-29-10, 07:52 AM

Sharks paying $2.20 for wooden spoon. FREE MONEY! I'm smacking this!

Totally agree and if the sths happen to make the finals then the nrl is in a bad state

You're right, I know it's only week 3 but they are so atrocious I can't see how it couldn't finish this way. I mean, every other team already has 2 points so how could they possibly catch up

I've taken the bait for all I could match

Cronulla Sharks to WIN the Wooden Spoon $319 to win $701 ($382 profit)

Tempted to get on this myself, I truly couldn't believe how pedestrian they were at the back under the high ball and their team on paper, while it wasn't good, had some decent players.

Anyway I think round 7 will just about decide the bet if Newcastle beat Cronulla at home, that is that.

I'm liking that wooden spoon bet sharks are a rabble, god help them if they get a few injuries

**sportscash** · 03-30-10, 12:52 AM

Good luck with the bet it seems reasonable.

Cross, Sa'u and Vuna are all returning this week and Gidley will be back by week 6 at the latest. If they stay healthy for the majority of the season I would expect them to be able to win some games here and there. That being said, of course there are no guarantees for anything to happen buuutttttt the Sharks improving the amount they need to start competing at an equal level are hard to imagine.

**Domestic** · 03-30-10, 01:30 AM

Yeah, Gidley will be a big boost.

**kingsr** · 03-30-10, 02:54 AM

Booked it, Sharks wooden spoon $3000 to win $6600!

Easy Money!

Was gonna put $5k on but I'm not as liquid after the 2008 crash.

My goal is to be able to put that type of cash on a play like this one day

I know that it's building and building and building the roll. Even right now I just opened up a 2nd book (betfair) as I haven't had to reload in a long time. All I know is that we will cash this and it will be well worth the investment
