take it for 4 units dude, should still cash.

any love for counties ml to win? odds keep climbing on them, do you think they may lack motivation?

easysaid · 10-12-12, 03:23 PM

I actually like northland ML here, ive learnt my lesson taking counties w/o kerr, they are a defferent team with limited attack.

Ah, is it mostly a lean or you probably laying off? Always find it hard backing a team like that without +points...

SpartacusNZ · 10-12-12, 06:28 PM

gutted, that conversion wrecked my under.

I'm liking Northland head to head, put a small play on them at +115 and also wellington at -8.5 seems very good.

TAB doesn't do match totals it doesn't look like? Can't find it, so will have to wait for 5dimes to put up the shield match totals, but they're always really late, like a couple of hours before the game ;/

I'm also contemplating Canterbury at +24.5 against BOP. BOP are very weak, and it's away from home, but that's a lot of points to put on any team that's in the premiership. Might have to have a look at BOP's defensive record first.

nosaij · 10-12-12, 06:53 PM

are we still on wellington -8.5?

easysaid · 10-12-12, 07:09 PM

Yup we are on wellington -8.5 over taranaki - 4 Units

Assuming Waikato beat Hawke's Bay which they should Bay of Plenty will have nothing to play for other than pride as they'll be safe in the division. Canterbury usually smash the Bay down there as well.

RLF · 10-12-12, 10:36 PM

What are BoP doing?? No Cane, Braid, Masaga, Retallick, Perrin and Kefu

Surely they can't all be injured?

Masaga hasn't been right all year he always seems to be limping around after ten minutes or so, Cane I guess because of the All Blacks having another match the others I'm not sure. That Bay forward pack looks ripe for the picking if Canterbury start a decent team which they should.

If Waikato win (makes BoP safe) and Wellington win in the early Sunday match look for a blow out of epic proportions. If Wellington win and get the bonus point Canterbury will make sure they do the same, no way BoP stop a focused Cantab team.

benandjerry · 10-13-12, 10:49 AM

The consensus seems to be that Canterbury should smoke BOP, anyone who thinks they'll have a hard time covering that large spread?

steve19 · 10-13-12, 01:57 PM

only question maybe the weather, shit cold wet day here lol

davopnz · 10-13-12, 05:20 PM

thats from tabs tryscorer list

SpartacusNZ · 10-13-12, 05:34 PM

YEAH BUDDY

Went in on that, but of course didn't go big enough >

The total scores seem to be the easiest bets around. Also got in on the Tasman/NH match on the overs, not the team i would have hoped to rack up a big score but oh well.

Going in on the Wgtn Lions by 8.5, and still contemplating something on canterbury. It's gone up to -26.5 which is huge, makes me quite wary.

Any opinion on wgtn lions match score being over 52.5? The weather's pretty solid, it's a great field that teams love to run on, but like someone else said no team sheet out at http://www.sportal.co.nz/rugby-union-match-previews, i've heard there's been a few changes for the Naki but no confirmation.

RLF · 10-13-12, 05:39 PM

Preview is up now

Taranaki: 1. Chris King, 2. Timo Tutavaha, 3. Michael Bent, 4. James Broadhurst, 5. Jason Eaton (capt), 6. Jarrad Hoeata, 7. Kane Barrett, 8. Blade Thomson, 9. Chris Smylie, 10. Beauden Barrett, 11. Frazier Climo, 12. Jayden Hayward, 13. Kurt Baker, 14. Jackson Ormond, 15. Andre Taylor.

Reserves: 16. Laurence Corlett, 17. Carl Carmichael, 18. Craig Clarke, 19. Bernie Hall, 20. Jamison Gibson-Park, 21. James Marshall, 22. Seta Tamanivalu.

I'm going Taranaki +8.5. That pack beat Canterbury minus Scott Waldrom. Why would you put Clarke on the bench??

davopnz · 10-13-12, 05:55 PM

weather is clearing up here in chch, ill be taking cant on the -

davopnz · 10-13-12, 06:32 PM

sun is now fully out theres just a bit of a breeze but should be great for playing rugby in

Beniphone · 10-13-12, 07:09 PM

I'm expecting a close game, a lot of hurricanes players on both teams that won't want to let a blowout happen. Barrett's back too

SpartacusNZ · 10-13-12, 07:29 PM

cheers davo.

trying to decide between the total points of over 56.5 or the over for canterbury of 26.5. i guess if one happens then the other does too...

I sure as shit did brother. Thank you.

Ghenghis Kahn · 10-13-12, 09:41 PM

do you guys think canterbury covers 26.5? that's a big spread...

RLF · 10-13-12, 10:08 PM

Well done Wellington backers, they were great today. Hopefully they end Canterbury's reign.

davopnz · 10-14-12, 01:56 AM

canterbury = money, money, money.

can't see wellington stopping canterbury as an out of form canterbury already beat wellington + it will be in chch, but we will see!

easysaid · 10-14-12, 02:07 AM

Went to watch the wellington game live, boy it was a good'ole fashion whopping.. feeling a little sad though coming close to the end of this beautiful 70%+ ITM Cup Season..

We all are!! Not to mention I kind of enjoy following it too, though the time zones makes it tough. Plan on carrying on with any other rugby (if you're following any)?

how did the college plays go easy?

had the worst week so far this season, was down 1.2 units. texas A&M cover was the most bullshit ive ever seen, not to mention had 1 bet refunded after they were winning by 40 points.. Betting the public would have made you a fortune over the last 2 weeks.

SpartacusNZ · 10-14-12, 05:11 PM

wish i started on the ITM cup earlier, watched most games but could have made a lot more. Thanks for the tips and explanations tho.

RLF · 10-14-12, 10:36 PM

Aus +14.5 this weekend in the Bledisloe. Holy shit!

You like it?

I understand they are getting a few players back? Is this them fronting up at home?

TBsp75 · 10-14-12, 11:47 PM

early thoughts on this week's union matches?

i can't wait to see the odds for -
Otago v Tasman____________underCounties Man v Southland____CM to cover

Canterbury v Taranaki_______Cantab to cover & over
Wellington v Auckland_______Welling to cover & over

Australia v New Zealand_____already bet a decent size on NZ winning margin 11-20 & 21-30(combine odds of 1.81) in TAB.

hawley · 10-14-12, 11:50 PM

Canterbury team total should be money again.
