Samoa -13.5 is a fair price?

I clearly have a diff view than the market here,like said little money so line moves a little easier but imo Samoa are on a diff planet than the French,even allowing for HFA(games in France,Perpignan).
We will soon see,but I would be suprised if this isnt a one sided 20+ Samoa win.Lets not forget PNG were leading the French at HT.

1st 3 will all be 40+ maybe more

I like Samoa in last 1/4 final but tbh have no idea of the line
Click to expand...

Samoa can't rely on their physicality to beat Fiji like they did to beat France, looking back at yesterday's game - we were extremely fortunate to get the cover. The Samoans easily have the worst execution of the remaining teams and play 'dumb' football for the most part.

This dude is terrible...



Ben Roberts - stupidest league player on earth.
 
LOL,Theres a lot of brain dead players but he was bad


Lets see what they come up with for the closer 1/4,nothing yet.

Other blowout is lined

England/France
-36
 
No rain in Leeds, England. Dry track has me leaning NZ -42.5, they should be too strong up front and wear down the Scots.

Game starts in just over an hour.
 
5-2 (+11.9)

New Zealand v Scotland

The play...

New Zealand -42.5 +110 (1 to win 1.1)

The Scots have overachieved so far in the tourney, think they get the wake up call today. They have heart though, so only risking a unit.
 
The trend of NZ putting the cue in the rack at halftime continues.

Johnson's boot didn't help, usually reliable kicker couldn't kick it straight.

Will get it back plus interest tomorrow. Big play looming.
 
I didnt watch it,but knew the score at HT,same as last game..... when enough is enough :(

The Samoa/Fiji line has got bet down to 4 and moving to 2
 
5-3 (+10.9)

England v France (Kick-off Saturday at 3pm EST)

The play...

England -38.5 (3.90 to win 3.51)

France playing in front of their first 'hostile' crowd of the tournament, given their last two matches were in France and the first one being in Hull against another 'neutral' opponent (Papua New Guinea). French also on a short turnaround after getting bashed by the Samoans only 5 days ago, England on the usual week's rest. France easily tied for worst team of the tourney along with both Wales and Papua New Guinea. The English should roll here by 40+.
 
France 'blooding' some new players into the side - minimal prep time. England just saw the two teams ranked above them demolish their opponents - motivation shouldn't be an issue. Dry track, I'll be damned if the Poms don't cover this spread.
 
22-6 England at halftime.

Plenty of missed opportunities for England.

Not in the greatest shape for the cover but I'm counting on the French rapidly fatiguing in the 2nd half.
 
5-4 (+7)

Really shit the bed last few plays. Looking to get some back in the two semi-finals. Like both faves, just worry there could be a little home bias in the NZ v England match.

Australia v Fiji

The play...

Australia -36.5 (2 units)

Aussie fielding their best side, Fiji are screwed. Weather the only enemy here.

:shake:

Sorry mate.... not paying enough attention been side tracked by something

weathers gonna be fine ,nice rugby weather.
Big wide open field,class comes to show this weekend.

Im also on NZ,I think that number is off..NZ on a diff planet,however Im dodging the Australia game.Its a big number against a team who are not complete rags.
Going to watch that one.

Hope you cash both,GL
 
Thanks mate.

All the money on England with the start, hopefully that's a good thing.
 
Better side on the day lost that game, Manuk. NZ didn't deserve that at all.

Judging by what I saw earlier, Aussie will smash them in the final but this World Cup hasn't followed the norm for the most part. Wonder how much value the books will provide the Kiwis.
 
6-5 (+5.85)

Really crapped out in this World Cup after a great start.

Australia v New Zealand

The play...

Australia -7.5 (5 units)

Rolled what's left of the World Cup account into the Aussies. It's been 5 years in the making but they get some redemption on the Kiwis here. Saw a few too many flaws in NZ's game over the last few weeks and paid to see it unfortunately. Australia by 13+...
 
Looking good close to the half. Aussie leading 16-2, and should've been given that disallowed try (no way imo the defender did enough to hold it up).
 
Game's in the bag. I settled for the lesser odds of the half/full-double. Hadn't followed the tourny at all, didn't know how superior Aussie were to NZ to be able to judge the spread. But wasn't passing on this revenge spot for them.
 
34-2 Australia, the final score.

NZ had a good team but lacked the class to compete with an Aussie team that came to play.

Glad to finish things on a high note.
