Investec Champions Cup + Challenge Cup Rd 2 + other rugby 12-14 December

21-21 with 25 mins to go, but Kubota has a yellow and red card, might as well chalk this as a loss.

have followed Brent with similar but shorter odds on the over 5.5 @ 8/11

Messed up last night's game , team selection made me thick 5 times and with Leicester infront a bigger plus I was hoping for on them never materialised. 

On to today , the Stormers cap keeps growing against La Rochelle who have named a weak side for this match. Stormers could win by 50 or 20 , just depends on La Rochelle , dangerous game. 

Clermont not the same force they were the last 5/6 seasons , will be much better at home but struggling at 10.. Sale were beaten at home by Glasgow and the English sides have been performing quite well. I'm leaning towards plus 12.5 Sale here , smallish bet though. 

Can't wait for the rain to hit Durban , that's if the weather forecasts are correct !! Gianluca Gnecchi the ref is a lovely unders one to add to the scene. However the bookies are onto us and the quote of 39.5 is crazy low , will be keeping an eye on this. 

The Cheetahs return back to Bloem after a loss to Exeter last weekend , ( nope they don't they're based in the Netherlands ) ( Thanks Brent )  they were poor that first half, probably needing the run and should be somewhat better this weekend. I make them an excellent bet on the plus 9.5 t 4/5 and going balls deep !! ( Might not be balls deep no more , short trip to Holland for Paris grrr ) 

Its not often that the bookies give money away but that +37.5 looks like xmas come early.

Stormers kicking the 3's lol

Pathetic Cheetahs , leading 17-14 at HT and lose the plot 

Poor day for me , went under in Durban after first try at 44.5 and thought it was gold . Sale helped a little , but well behind today . 

Munster return to Cork this time and welcome Gloucester . As referred to earlier English team performing well . I think Gloucester plus 26.5 and I'm steaming in . 

In Bordeaux I am well invested in unders at 66.5 , just don't want any Scarlet points. 

In Newcastle the points are only 44.5 but the weather is fine ..... will take a look in running . 

No play Cardiff game 

Oh well, Managed to get through the day so far with a profit - and have used it and more and gone on over 41.5 in Glasgow, despite the  weather!

Nice end to your day Jameson 

Sharks arrived for me but fell one try short on Stormers and Bordeaux with neither able to score in the last 8-10 minutes. I ended up being big on Bordeaux over 8.5 so that defined my weekend and I am well down heading into Sunday. 

Got the Bath outright riding and will probably get involved in the Bulls game and perhaps Quins 

So this is just another typical Sunday morning for me - sob, sob, sob.  One correct bet out of about + 20 placed. More than half of my powder gone.
When I'm scrolling down the red Lost's, I can just see into the bookies party, Champaign and caviar, and it makes me sick that I'm so dumb.
Truth is, I know I don't stand a chance. 
the bookie wins, every time.  Not surprisingly.
Anyway, Cowboys don't cry.
Back to the drawing board for me 

EDIT; Apologies for the rant, I was spitting-mad.
My main bets were already placed on between on Saints, Quins, Bath, and Bristol, and they are on open bets (sheepishly) hence they will all be winners.
 

Kirky us veterans keep on fighting - today it will turn

Blog updated with a recap of Saturday and a bet in Quins game 

Quins over 40.5 at 9/10 

Good day on the rugby yesterday but gave some back on the horses. Today I’ve gone -

Quins over 5,5 tries @ evens. They barely ever take 3 at home the last few years so will side with tries as was also look at their points. 

over 55.5 @ 10/11 Toulon Bath. 

Yes I had a good day yesterday ending on a nice win in the Glasgow game.

But everything hinged on one game, Montauban v Cardiff. Basically I needed 4 converted tries in the last 25mins to win a big overs bet. I had started to write my gambling obituary but the tries started to come, ending in the 4th scored in the 84th minute. The conversion was not that easy but was kicked. Incredible. Small margins again as they say.

Todays another day and I've already lost a small one on the Japanese games early on ....

Edinburgh +10.5 1st up this afternoon for me.

Love that Quins over 5.5 tries at 1/1 South, I was looking at same market but could only get 6.5 at 17/20 so went points instead 

Saints over 39.5 points probably my final play 

staying with overs theme, also aligned to brent again - 

northampton over 39.5 pts @ 17/20

Edinburgh lucky not to get nilled ffs - fortunately Brents Harlequins overs save the day.

Going against the Master and gone for a Toulon win next up though :-o

Edit: Oh, they did get nilled .....

I've taken Stormers -16.5 ha @1.90 2u and rebacked -19.5 ha @1.90 with another 2u

Also Harlequins -20.5 ha @1.90 2u and Leicester +10.5 @1.80 2u

I like Bristol -18.5 and Munster -16.5 but some bad weather incoming so I wait for the moment.

If only I have kept to my Champions Cup bets, I took some Challenge Cup ones and everything went the opposite way.

At the end another losing weekend ...

Bath plus 10.5 on the end of four winning accas. All down in flames by half a point
