Blind betting every dog this RWC

**HKT** · 09-20-11, 10:18 PM

I too am considering middling, a 5 point swing is a lot of middle ground!

**hawley** · 09-20-11, 10:19 PM

Do you guys all think Tonga win though?

Im not even sure on that which is why I will probably stay with my original position

**benrama** · 09-20-11, 10:32 PM

Yep, agreed hawley, even with home ground support behind Tonga you'd have to say Japan are a good shot to win this one.

I'm letting the bet ride.

Anyone else think -16.5 is going to be easy for the ABs ? France have no need to win this match. Would just make it a harder run to the finals if they won it.

I like it

France have named an average squad plus I just read the All Blacks watched a replay of their 2007 loss.

I just have the feeling, and have had it for a while they go out there wanting to smash France.

Hawley do you like the Under 52.5 tonight ?

**Duff85** · 09-21-11, 12:29 AM

Riding the Japan action dirty. Be a big win or a big loss - either way it's on good numbers.

So would you lean over or under ?

Actually liked the over originally but the line has moved a few points already.

Big win or loss as a % of bankroll... I never usually have an opinion total wise in the various Rugby codes.

**kingsr** · 09-21-11, 03:34 AM

Is it just me or do the commentators sound like they want Tonga win?

Nope. They def want Tonga to win.

**RLF** · 09-21-11, 03:40 AM

Not just you, they're Kiwi, so they clearly have a vested interest in Tonga.

**kingsr** · 09-21-11, 03:47 AM

Well I'll call it from now...Welldone to Tonga backers!

**hawley** · 09-21-11, 03:50 AM

Japan is done. Cant hold the ball and running it out of defence is not the key against this big Tongan side.

**rumple** · 09-21-11, 04:18 AM

Looks like the bookies cleaned up on this game.

**Duff85** · 09-21-11, 04:19 AM

Sheh one for the books, still playing with a lot of house money!

**ExodusNZ** · 09-21-11, 04:23 AM

Whats up with the try the video ref gave the Japanese?

That was the point where I thought to myself, hmmm im might be on the right side of a fix

**hawley** · 09-21-11, 04:27 AM

man would of coverred the second half spread if Arlidge didnt miss that simple conversion

Morath had his kicking boots on tonight too.

**kingsr** · 09-21-11, 04:31 AM

On to tomorrow...

SA -59.5

good call on that

**rumple** · 09-21-11, 10:05 PM

It seems ridiculous to give 60 points in a rugby match, wont SA shut it down once they have a big lead?

**IDunno89** · 09-21-11, 10:16 PM

Check the link hawley posted in my rugby and league thread... That answers your question

SA could cover it easily. Always a risk taking such a big spread but it seems like are keen to run up a score.

Thoughts on Fiji/Samoa game?

Fiji +9 and maybe the over.

Fiji won their last match in the Pacific Nations Cup with 36-18 in Samoa.

I believe that was in FIJI.

Samoa is a much better team than FIJI...I'm leaning samoa -9 at this stage but this is still early, still 3 games between now and then.

your were right, the match was in Suva(Fiji).

**astrobloke** · 09-22-11, 08:08 PM

I actually went USA to cover... small bet 1 Unit @ 1.92 +62

Here is my analysis.

While we are on the subject of Australia v USA, might as well look into the game in more depth.
Last time these two sides met up in a World cup was way back in 1999 when the Aussies triumphed by 55-19 (points dfference being 36 on the day)

Prior to that was the fllowing outcomes:
1990 Australia 67-9 USA Brisbane
1987 Australia 47-12 Brsbane
1983 Australia 49-3 Sydney

Bear in mind that all three of the above fixtures were played before the modern point structure (try being 3 points at the time) 5 points being implemented in 1992.

**benrama** · 09-22-11, 08:28 PM

Yep, I'll decided I'll be on the same astro! But only for an action wager to keep me going till AFL/NRL finals time.

I know it's unpatriotic but I can't stand half this Wallabies team - the wanker ratio is far too high. In fact, I think I'd go as far as to say something I never thought I'd say: I'd rather see the All Blacks get up!

**mrlegend28** · 09-22-11, 09:00 PM

hey guys, on my site i can get USA +46.5 +300, does this even have a prayer of covering or no

LOL at allblacks comment.

I know what you mean

I am not 100% confident in the USA covering, so that is the reason for just 1 UNIT... I will be punting on the AFL NRL later in the day.

Cant wait for the weekend. Full of great game.... I already have a semi erection. No viagra needed this end.

Good luck Benny boy and others...lets keep kicking these bookies square in the NUTS!

Good luck - happy punting

**kingsr** · 09-22-11, 09:47 PM

The day wouldn't be normal without astro's emoticons! Good luck guys, I have an ugly number of 58.5 on USA which I took a couple days ago, didn't think USA would name a B grade team. Oh well it's only 1 unit so no big deal I suppose.

**hawley** · 09-22-11, 09:58 PM

Russia +46.5 jumps out at me

Will Ireland be able to pour on the points?
