URC wk 12, Super Rugby wk 3, 6 Nations Rd 4 early + other rugby 28 Feb- 02 Mar

Dylan Pietsch to score a try for Western Force @2.05

Nothing scored in the WF game in the 1st 15 mins, 31 pts in the next 15min .... ffs

Two absolutely shit teams here

Back into the black after chiefs and force handicaps land

Chiefie wrote: Hi All,

Following the trend of some high scoring games for round 3, not expecting that to change.

Have done a 5 x fold overs play on totals.

Moana v Highlanders - Over 52.5
Waratahs v Drua - Over 52.5
Chiefs v Brumbies - Over 49.5
Hurricanes v blues - Over 47.5
Force v Reds - Over 54.5

Takes us to 5.15-1.

Who is going to let me down?

At the moment, the only game I’m iffy about is Canes and Blues. I can’t trust the blues, but surely between them they can hit 48 points.

GL all

And normal service resumes. Final leg lets me down for £2,000 by 3 points.

Reds butchering tries in the first half. Force losing it twice 2m out.

Should have been 60 points in that game easy.

Nic berry doesn’t help himself. Always in the way, comms breaking down (I blame him) - what is a guy to do.

£400 on a five fold acca? I take it your singles are bigger than that even. You are punting at decent stakes at least in comparison to me. Fair play you must have a decent bankroll built up

Bulls to score a try in first 10 minutes @2.25

I have noticed a trend with the bulls where they tend to start the game quickly and finally pulling the trigger and taking the bet. Would've landed in 5/6 of the last bulls games

Well just under that, actually had landed a few decent bets last weekend, so was trying to follow the trend.

But yeah, that reds full back is shocking. Don’t think Les Kiss will be rolling him out again. Butchered a clear try in the first half, I knew that would cost me.

Also that second half was so pedestrian, players walking pretty much from 60 minutes.

Tough one to take

I suppose the best way to look at the loss is that it cost you your stake only

Fair play to him if he's punting them stakes why are you almost questioning him? He's got balls. Refreshing to see big punters tbh

Tbh one of my bigger bets in a very long time, and if I didn’t have a decent roll, wouldn’t be anywhere near that!

Still not sure how over 54.5 didn’t hit in that game. Unfortunately no cash out offered, otherwise would have taken it and watched it from afar

Nothing to do with balls really because your stake is a portion of your profit so any loss is only reducing profit you've made. It's more a reflection of a profitable punter whose built up a big tank.

A couple of years ago I was at decent stakes but after a losing run needed to lower to fit my bankroll. Am profitable since then but not punting at big stakes ATM.

I agree tho it's good to see people a bigger stakes bearing the bookies more often than they lose

I'm not questioning really more interested as my aim is to build up the tank to bet at big stakes. My standard bet is reasonable but could be more

Also took a beating last week. Hurricanes vs Blues - either team by 7 and under landed and the Force +8 landed. Really invested in the over 48.5 in the Lions/Sharks game now…

Like a lab rat I'm all in with Brent on Sharks plus 1.5 points in the starter of the day .

Where the heck is Chiefie ?

I’m here, but currently starting a gofundme to get Nic Berry a nice, long holiday in Mogadishu.

There was no message or proof of life , I hope you at least covered your stake mate .

I did pal. Managed to get under 60.5 at 2.5-1 before kick off , so pretty much covered the stake! And was happy to donate in favour of the bigger win, but alas.

So with a much smaller stake, not to worry, have cooked up a little parlay for this afternoon and evening. It’s a 7 fold, so there is zero chance of this hitting, but anyway, follow along for fun or join me and we can curse the match officials together.

Bulls v Sharks - over 40.5
Bulls v Stormers - over 42.5
Exeter v Sale (rugby cup) - over 45.5
Saints v Ealing (rugby cup) - over 50.5
Scarlets under 30.5
Ospreys under 29.5
Benetton under 31.5

Grand total of 4.72-1.

So let’s see how that goes! Knowing my luck sharks and lions game ends 7-3.

Can’t make it though the last leg or the first leg.

Classic.

Sharks unlikely to score any points by the looks of it.

I fell into a punji trap with bamboo shoots surrounded by shite , lumped on plus 19.5 at HT to try ease the initial loss , Sharks are hopeless today , hands like feet , no leaders on the field , conceding peanuts every move , can't string 5 passes together . Shocking

I think I pulled a hammy jumping up and down in 82nd min…was dead in the water for 78mins in that match. I am at Loftus currently and it is raining hard here currently…might go under 52.5 total points. And Bulls under 30.5 points.

Oh crap. I can’t even take a cash out. My betting company sucks.

Also the bulls dont have a kicker, so conversions and 3s won’t be a factor.

Ballsssss

As a Sharks supporter that was bloody embarrassing. The Lions so so much better in all areas that game.

Somehow the overs lands as looked dead with 9 min to go.

And of course I’m now looking at an overs bet in Pretoria.

Shock horror. I don’t believe I’m doing this but gone under 52.5 @ 10/11 at loftus. Just seen pitch looks like standing water on Twitter.

Took under 53 but now looking at pictures it might be raining too much. Match may be cancelled for today? Unless there is decent drainage

Looking at live pictures , doesn't seem there is any let up in the rain. Would need rain to stop and time to clear the pitch.

And other parlay dead.

Didn’t know the rain in Pretoria was biblical.

Sheesh. Thanks mef office for 20% rain forecast.

Yip it was torrential alright , Ospreys plus 11.5 the final play .

Thought thay was a strange day of rugby. Probably during to the weird game in SA. Good weekend going 6-1 but even with that felt I left some behind with some points leans landing.

Happy to have a quiet weekend next

European Championship

Georgia vs Romania

This is one of the semifinals of the European Championship and is played in Tbilisi.

Romania played poorly against Portugal at home (6-34) and finished second in the group, that's why they play this semifinal away.

The Romanians are missing 14 players through injury or other reasons.
Given that anyway there is a big difference between Georgia and Romania, and on top of that the Romanians will field a patched-up team, I think Georgia will win big and cover this handicap.

Bet: Georgia -36.5 @1.90

Looks like the enemy have based this handicap on the last time these teams met 42 - 5. I like your reasoning so I'm on that too.

Forgot to mention that Romania already qualified to the World Cup, which was their main objective (top two teams in each group), and this match will be an opportunity for fringe players to show some fight and push for further selection.
The coach said that he was under no illusion as to the big gap between these two teams and he just wants to see his players show some fight and play a good game.

It's a great punt Quill. Can't believe it only pipped on after that start. Nice one for a quiet sunday

Yes, good call, Quill - I followed.
I've been following the Rugby Europe Championship and it's been good to me.
The late try for Romania involved a blatant forward pass and could have scuppered a bona fide winning punt.
I wish officials could remain dispassionate for the full match despite what may be a one-sided match

Thank you Laraxwell.

I thought that too, that it was a forward pass. I was surprised that even the tv commentators didn't mention anything, as they usually do, even if it doesn't get penalized.

Thank you Quill. I was on the -37
How did he miss the conversion? Looked fairly easy

Any of the top 14 punters have a take in tonight's game? Might have a small bet for interest
