The Truth Is Out There
0-0-0

Making a few plays here and there. 1st one goes today (kick-off 3pm EST).

New Zealand v France (in Avignon)

The play...

New Zealand -30.5 (3 units)

Put simply - NZ with too much class, should get it done by 40+.

:shake:
 
1-0 (+3)

2nd play (kick-off 3pm EST).

Fiji v Australia (St Helens, England)

The play...

Fiji +42.5 (3 units)

Aussie 'blooding' some new players into the rotation, Fiji have the skill to compete and make the score respectable.

:shake:

PNG v Samoa game too tough to call. Samoa should be able to cover the spread, may look to get involved at halftime.
 
Could see a massive scoreline to the Samoans. Only one team came to play tonight. Doubt we'll see any 2nd half value now.
 
Looks like 28-0 Samoa at halftime.

Missed opportunity, will have something tomorrow for the Tonga v Cook Islands game.
 
2-0 (+6)

Scotland v USA (Kick-off today, 3pm EST)

The play...

Scotland -6.5 (3 units)

3-0 (+9)

Game on deck in 14 mins.

New Zealand v Papua New Guinea

The play...

New Zealand -48.5 (1 unit)

Not my strongest play by any means. NZ has already qualified whereas PNG are done. Word outta the NZ camp is they want to win and win well though. If they come to play, they win by 70.

i'm dumb but I still don't get the difference between Rugby League and Rugby?

some rules differences but the major differences.
Union is 15 a side ,league is 13
In league they have 5 tackles then have to turn possesion over if they are tackled a 6th time..hence youll hear 5th tackle a lot knowing thats their last possesion,there is none of that in union... there are a lot of rule differences but them the 2 main ones.


I didnt even know this thread was here,damm

Plus rugby is the more boring of the two. Basically kick, pass, kick, pass for 80 minutes.

League is for the most part, is end to end action.

Thanks Manuk.

Live spread ingame is currently at -70.
 
In England,Rugby league and Rugby union are bar a few exceptions,regional games,League in the North,Union in the South.
Union often being called a rich boys sport, because it is played a lot by the Private (where the parents pay for their kids to be educated) schools boys.This is why youll see most of these games(if you google the venues) being played in the North of England.
Union pays their players a lot more money(a significant difference) so sometimes youll see the better League players making the switch in codes,who can blame them.
I dont care much for union... maybe cause Im from ,and am very much working class(blue collar)

If you ever get chance to watch our domestic rugby league(the superleague) Im sure youd enjoy it,very well produced and a great product for Tv.The season only just ended but worth bearing in mind.
 
ah damn so what have I been watching most times I see the Hong Kong 7s? I find that to be pretty nuts 7 dudes trying to cover that amount of fucking pitch!
 
Got the dirty backdoor.

Final score:

NZ 56-10

NZ win the 2nd half 16-10 after a 40-0 1st half.

Very odd turn of events.
 
Yep. Lost.

Refs disallowed a few tries to NZ though.

Always an issue when flirting with such a massive spread.
 
No need to apologize, Manuk.

Only peep's who should be apologizing are the New Zealand Rugby League team and the refs.

Was only a unit play so minimal damage.
 
:cheers:

been asleep all day,just seen the score ,nice :shake:

Tonights aus/ire game is being played in Ireland(Limerick) I see no reason why the Aussies would want to humiliate the Irish.
Also weather may be worth looking at,them points with the Irish look tasty.

Sometimes you just have to hold your nose and press submit,betting totally outmatched teams.
+54
 
Ireland cover, nice hit Manuk.

That was just a crazy spread, saw 58.5 in some places.

Just way overinflated.

Will have a couple more plays up very late tonight.
 
to be honest the Aussies should of covered,Ireland couldnt get out of their own half in the 1st 40,but like you said earlier with them big spreads :cheers:


will have a look at tomorrows later.GL
 
Small interest for sundays 2 games.I actually enjoy the smaller nations games more.The lines have been moving around ,make me think books got very low limits,nothing more.
Wales ML
Italy +6

Gonna double(parlay) them two up for a little interest.
 
Tomorrow,Samoa V France is a bigger game than it first looks.
The winner gets to play Fiji in the quarters,whereas the loser gets England...I think a Fiji tie gives either a big hope of getting to the semis,thats huge for either nation

However,no line anywhere yet,Ill be all over Samoa at anything less than 16
 
4-1 (+10.9)

Italy v Tonga (Kick-off at 11am EST)

The play...

Italy +3.5 (2 to win 2.1)

Plenty of 4's and 4.5's about. Eliminated the juice and took the odd number, think the Azzurri win SU but will side with the small 'insurance'. Word outta the Tongan camp is they have a few internal 'financial' issues leading to a bit of unrest amongst the players. Italy have to win in order to make the quarter-finals whereas the Tongans are eliminated and are only playing for pride. Give the Italians a massive edge in the coaching department.

Lean towards the Cook Islands in the other game.
 
Tonga too big, too strong for the glamorous Italians who had their chances to score but continually screwed up but in the end the Tongans bashed 'em, bro.

Will get it back and then some in the Samoa v France game tomorrow.

4-2 (+8.9)

Goal is 20+ units.

yes mate
Hopefully

it opened 14 here and I took it when they opened....
When it reaches the quarters we`ll have a much better angle on the teams and with everything on the line in each game,no let-ups.
