Ireland are 4/11 to win the Arg series 2-0. Considering most of Argentina's players are semi-pros from their own leagues while resting the main men who play up north and England (without Lions) beat them very easily last year I think that's a fantastic bet.

Agreed!

Haha thomond you bring the term loss-chasing to a new level, but I think you've gone about it the right way these last 2 weeks. I'll stick with my boring old 1 unit single, Ireland 2-0 1.36.

Edit: Actually, screw it, 5.5 units 4/11 Ireland 2-0.

Leinster to win at 2/5 looks very good odds for a jump or part of a treble.

Judgement Day

After a lengthy bad run things began to turn today. A mere 24% down instead of a wipeout.

I backed Sarries to win and at full time (14-14) I cursed my luck, switched off the laptop and went shopping. Passing my local I noticed the match still appeared to be on and when I got home flicked on the radio to hear all the TMO talk and and thought whooohoo I've won after all ..only to have the Saints try allowed. In terms of the reverse endorphin rush - twice in one match result is a bit much.

Judgement Day

Anybody looked at England vs Barbarians match today (3pm Sky Sports 1)? An English team with hardly a name that you would recognise against a massively strong Barbarians starting line-up that includes Hosea Gear, Joe Rokocoko, Rene Ranger, Jimmy Cowan, Benson Stanley, Brock James - and Donncha O'Callaghan.

It could be a cracker to watch and PP are offering a Barbarians win at 6/4 on with England favourites at 1/2. For the more foolhardy (JD), Barbarians -8 at 16/5 is almost too tempting to pass up on.

G'wan sure:

- 1.25 units (12/5) Barbarians -5

Yeah, what the hell I've gone for Barbarians -5 at 12/5. Lots of stuff being talked about pride in the jersey etc.etc.

The 1 point handicap loss in the last couple of minutes, ugh, but the reverse happened in my favour in the Munster-Toulon match. 52.88

Barbarians are very fancied for the England match, they went from 6 point underdogs to 3 point underdogs. I'm reluctant to bet on a mickey mouse match, but I've got on the Barbarians at 2.62 for one unit.

Excellent!

The 6/4 bet was a great call.

Edge of the seat stuff at the end....a converted try for England and I was wasted - again.

matthew8

So here I was bigging up Ireland 2-0 at 1.36 on paddy and Thomond agreed, but you can get Ireland to win the first test at 1.41 on betfair (and for a lot of money too). Have the layers seen the squad? Is there something I don't know?

sydthebeat

anyone else think ABs - 19 against england is too strong??

England will start Cipriani/Burns at out-half, no Wood, Hartley, Tom Youngs, Lawes, Billy Vunipola, Burrell, Ashton and plenty of other injuries too. I find it hard to back a team with so many players absent.

matthew8

New Zealand -18.5 1 unit 1.92. Not the easiest bet to make but they're stacked with world class players, while England are stacked with average players.

-20 when I checked earlier, yet still I'll probably back that

Just noticed Ireland are -11, I'm all over that

sydthebeat

yeah when i say the english team, and the players they are missing, i was all over the -20

matthew8

Ireland out to 12 now, dilemma backing the PP price or waiting for better odds bookies to release theirs at the risk of a higher spread.

EDIT: Betfair have their odds. Ireland -11.5 2.0 1 unit.

The Pheasant2

5 units on Ireland -12
Awaiting try scorer odds, plan on throwing 5 on Jordi to score in 80
