GLASGOW WARRIORS v EDINBURGH
Posted 21 Dec 09h47
This handicap is exactly where I set it at -9.5 Glasgow and we have a points line of 49.5. 5 of the last 6 head to heads would have seen unders backers collect profits and at home Glasgow have won the last 3 matches by 12, 6 and 13 with those games having total points of 32,26 and 47 respectively.
I am going to return with my bet on Sunday morning.
LEINSTER v CONNACHT
Posted 21 Dec 09h42
This handicap opened Leinster -15.5 and has come in slightly to -13.5 on the back of team news. Leinster are resting some front line players but are still able to field a strong side and I think the game is well handicapped.
Total points is 49.5 and it is in this area where I will have my interested.
You can get 9/10 Connacht under 18.5 points and I think that is a good bet. They have scored 7 and 12 points in their last 2 visits and at home in their last 4 games across all competitions Leinster have conceded 7,6,12, and 6 points.
There is some wind and possibly rain about. This may even make the Newsletter Best Bet https://bit.ly/gftgnewsletter
BET: 5 units Connacht under 18.5 points at 9/10 at Pokerbet
OSPREYS v SCARLETS
Posted 21 Dec 09h25
This handicap opened -7.5 Ospreys and after some support for the Scarlets it seems stable at -5.5, The points lines is 44.5 and conditions don't look great.
This is not a game I am going to be watching and all things considered I think the handicap is well set. The home team by 1-12 points is my bet here.
BET: 2 units Ospreys by 1-12 points at 14/10 at Sportingbet
BENETTON v ZEBRE
Posted 21 Dec 08h52
This handicap has been stable all week at the Benetton -15.5 level. I capped it -12.5 so see some value in the visitors although a concern is that Benetton have dominated this fixture in recent years and would of beaten this handicap in the last 3 meetings at this ground.
The points line is 51.5 and unders would have arrived in 2 of the 3 meetings mentioned above. The weather looks decent but I am hoping Zebre can be competitive and will have an intereste on the unders, taking a slightly shorter price but a couple of extra points.
BET: 3 units under 53.5 points at 8/10 at Betxchange
ULSTER v MUNSTER
Posted 20 December 08h36
Both of these sides are sitting outside the Top 8 and need to start climbing the table. Ulster were well beaten in both their European Champions Cup matches against Toulouse away and Bordeaux at home while Munster beat Stade Francais at home and were edged by Castres on the road.
Bookies are battling to seperate these sides with Ulster -0.5 point favourites. I capped this game Ulster -3.5 and see some value in the home team here. Historically these are tight matches with the winning margin by either side no more than 7 points in their last 4 matches.
The points line is 45.5 and unders would have arrived in 3 of the last 4 meetings and in both games hosted by Ulster.
I am going for a home win but by 12 points or less.
BET: 2 units Ulster win by 1-12 points at 16/10 at Sportingbet
