Where's the best place to do an accum on the 4 favourites in the rugby this weekend? Anyone have any thoughts on this bet? Looks like a dead cert to me and the 4 of them have to be at least 1/2 in the accum right?

Just about to post this. I just lumped on the 4 favourites with Stan James. €10 pays €17.45, odds of 0.745. Betfair are 0.72 but you have to pay commission on your winnings.

Come on OZ, NZ, SA and Arg!! :P

Was thinking about leaving SA out and just going for the other 3, all 1/6 with Powers, 100 euro will win you 58.80, seems more my kinda thing.

But why would you leave out SA? Not a hope Fiji will beat them??

It's just that they are 1/200 and I don't want to risk a couple of grand to win an extra tenner, I know they will win but even if there is one chance in a million that they won't then the risk is too big for me. Their bus might crash on the way to the ground or something.

Why don't you open an account with Stan James and back the 3 teams at better odds? NZ, ARG and OZ pays .711!

You're going to lump a couple of grand on this treble??

God! This has to be the biggest 'fingers burnt' thread in history. I tried to start up an online account with Stan James but my card wouldn't work, how lucky am I? I would have blown an absoulte fortune otherwise.

Dave!

Haha! Was reading through this thread thinking "the poor bugger :eek:"

You jammy dodger

Oh dear oh dear folks!!

Every single game was a close run affair... those of you making accum bets... well you got it handed to you basically haha :rolleyes:

How much did people lose? It's funny that the two less likely favourites stood true, but the 2 absolute fav's went out!
