how would i handicap wales vs south africa?,well i would personally give wales a 12 start.

being welsh and love my rugby i just think wales got no chance of beating the africans with 3 pts,i'm no bookie but thats my opinion
so as all the bookies are giving wales 3 we'll have a £100 win on africa -3pts @10/11 generally

[eruptive plot]

not sure i deserve to land this bet as the last try was "offside".but africa won by 9 and we won £91.


the bank now stands at £1141

[eruptive plot]

cant believe it i'm opposing wales again. coral are giving the argies a 12 start.
well have £100 win on that @ 10/11. lets not forget they beat us last year in the autumn internationals

[eruptive plot]

the less i say about this bet the better.
this was down before 15 minutes, we absolutely took them apart.
that result today must be a very big warning to the opposition that faces us in the upcoming 6 nations championship.
i have got to fancy our chances against "orstralia".
how would i handicap that? well i would give them a 3 or 4 start,what the bookies give will be very interesting.

anyway this bank is down to £1041

[eruptive plot]

well, as i posted in the previous post,i mentioned that i would give the aussies a 3 or 4 start,and i'm sticking with that,by the way the majority of the bookies are giving wales a point start.
We never beat them,they are a real bogey side to us,but i think this is the time.
this is not a bet with my heart,my head says a wales will triumph over this mediocre australia side.

so the bet is £100 on a wales outright win on betfair @ 2.16

[eruptive plot]

not the best of days for me yesterday.i feel that the wales australia game could hve gone either way.ijust cant understand when we are 4 points down on 74 minutes,Quade Cooper is sin binned and we kick our penalty into touch.
Its a no brainer "TAKE THE 3 POINTS".there are still 4 or 5 minutes to get another kickable penalty considering they got a man down.
anyway the bet lost and the bank now stands at £941 ;fire

one for this week
alex cuthbert to score a try anytime @ 11/4(Glasgow vs Cardiff Blues) with skybet, £100 win.
this is a cracking price,get in quick,it wont last long

[eruptive plot]

i'd just like to add a little bit more info on alex cuthberts stats in the heiniken cup.he has played in 15 games and scored 11 trys in the process.if you break that down into percentages an look at what skybet are offering,then surely he must be good value for money.obviously they have factored that cardiff will lose up in glasgow tonight into the price of cuthbert scoring a try,but its just a no brainer bet for me

[eruptive plot]

ah well i cant argue.skybet got my money tonight.but overall i am ££££'s in overall backing cuthbert.
always a threat to score everytime he plays.
the bank is down to £841

[eruptive plot]

i'm sticking to my guns with alex cuthbert!!!
he's got to be over priced tonight as cardiff entertain the ospreys in the arms park.
the bet is £100 win @ 11/4 with ladbrokes for alex cuthbert to score a try anytime

[eruptive plot]

cuthbert never really got into the game.he only got a couple of half chances.
another £100 into the bookies satchels.
the bank is down to £741

2 more games today and a new betting angle that most people wouldnt even think about.
"first scoring play".that is the origin of the first points scored in a game
i have 2 selections today.
Bath penalty @13/8
Saracens penalty @7/4
We'll have £100 win on each and a £50 double with bet victor,if 1 comes in we'll cover our money with a bit over

[eruptive plot]

aaah wel £12 profit,better than losing i suppose!!!!.
bath now have scored a penalty as a first scoring play 5 times in 10 games,the same as the cardiff blues in the rabo 12 league.
i think if you do these 3 teams(including saracens) on a regular basis you wont be out of pocket over the season.

the bank now stands at £753

[eruptive plot]

1 for today wasps vs exeter
first scoring play,a wasps penalty @13/8 with bet victor £100 win

[eruptive plot]

another loser and the bank is down to £653.

[eruptive plot]

1 for this weekend,Alex Cuthbert to score a try anytime for the cardiff blues who are away to toulon.
Paddy Power have overpriced him big time @11/2.all the other bookies are pricing him up at 7/2,100/30 etc.this is a mistake that they will spot soon and cut the price.
we'll have £100 and cross our fingers as cardiff have no chance of beating the harlem globetrotters of rugby

[eruptive plot]

one thing i forgot to post yesterday was that paddy power will refund all losing tryscorer bets if a forward scores the first try

[eruptive plot]

ahh well he never scored,but the generous concession with paddy power meant that we never lost none of our hard earnt

[eruptive plot]

i have a first scoring play bet for this weekend in the heiniken cup
cardiff blues penalty @13/8
munster penalty @ 15/8
perpingnan penalty @13/8
well do £50 win on each
3 £25 doubles
£25 treble all with victor chandler

[eruptive plot]

we lost £69 on the bet with only one penalty obliging.
the bank is down to £584

[eruptive plot]

this is a make or break bet on this thread.
italy vs england ,first scoring play, england try @2.88
wales vs scotland, first scoring play,wales penalty goal @2.75
france vs ireland,first scoring play,ireland penalty goal @2.62
£100 win on each
3 £50 doubles
£50 treble
all on bet victor

[eruptive plot]

ok the bank bust,but here is a bit of food for thought.
if you had bet the favourite of the match(6 nations and autumn internationals) to score a penalty as the first scoring play,in the last 3 years you would be up to the tune of £2500 for £100 stakes,not bad eh!!!

[eruptive plot]

just a reminder to everyone.read my previous post!!!!
here is an update on the current 6 nations.
week 3 and we have had 9 games played, 7 out of those 9 games a penalty has been scored to the favourite of the game as first scoring play at odds of 6/4.
thats another £800 profit to £100 wins
