Channel 9 is showing the Australia Vs Georgia game on Sunday, but I haven't been able to check on the other games.

Not sure Melbourne can get the job done against Brisbane. If the Auckland beat Penrith it'll be yet another boil over, the Sharks might fumble, but I'm going to back them anyway. And the last game of this round I'm leaning towards the Knights who have had an impressive winning streak in the latter half of the regular season.

Both Brisbane and the Panthers fielded under-strength teams last round (effectively the Broncos threw the game - loosing the minor premiership in the process) - neither team deserve to win, but I'm backing them as the stronger teams on the day.

Well we will see what team NZ are about in this opening game on Friday, it has all the
ingredients to be an absolute cracker of a game!

League Australian NRL

So from the last round last week the Panthers got top spot and I think it was the Roosters
who kept the Rabbitohs out of the top 8 and managed to get in themselves, I could be wrong.

So finals week 1 of 4 this weekend and its 2nd v 3rd Broncos v Storm, I'm going with
the Broncos, a rematch of last weeks fixture and revenge time for the Broncos . . . hopefully

1st v 4th Panthers v Warriors, Its going to be the Panthers

6th v 7th Sharks v Roosters, IDK I'm not betting on that, it will probably be the Sharks

5th v 8th Knights v Raiders, only based on ladder position I will back the Knights.

I'm going with my initial pics of Ireland and France but I really think South Africa will
be in the mix too but I dont know who to substitute ^{Ireland or France} in order
to include SA. Anyway I will stay with my 2 pics.

@darxiaomi - you can bet on 1 team instead of 2! ^{no pressure though} anyway its
great that the times work out, they will be evening games here on the Northern Hemisphere
but at times where you guys can watch but not at silly times.

Yes, Ireland has had some good wins recently (IIRC) as have Argentina, so it's going to make for some thrilling clashes against some of the powerhouses e.g. NZ and France to name a couple.

The New Zealand national competitions wrapped up a few weeks ago, so the team selectors have numerous players to choose from who have honed their game play over a full season.

Still no word from @Welsh

Rugby peeps. I'm popping in to ask why the All Blacks aren't the overwhelming favourite in the opener against France Don't watch rugby but you know this team is supreme even as an outsider. Yes, they have had horrible losses, yes their last game was shite, and yes I read the news claiming this is the weakest side yet.

But in football, we say teams with experience are "royalty" of competitions and no matter their form, they are always favourites when facing teams who haven't won a comp (France, in this case).

So my question, distilled: France or NZ?

What the hell are you doing here?. Are you follow me? What are you intentions? You want to be destroyed again in other sports Tongue

?. Just joking, nice to see you here, i dont come so often here but here is where i come to cry when i lose on BSFL. (Milhouse meme).

Well guys i dont think im gonna risk any money in this betting only to the champion.

Yes I agree with Timelord, for this I think its nicer to keep it simple, all wagers go into a "pot"
and the winner(s) take/split it!

I cannot access any of my local TV stations without paying a subscription but I
have learned that the UK channel ITV will be showing all the games, AFAIK I can access
the ITV channel's through my SKY box without subscription, i'll check that tomorrow.

Timelord and darxiaomi will you be able to watch some games eventhough they will be
early morning times?

Yes, for me its in "normal" houts the more early game of group phase its gonna be against Japan, and its at 8.00 AM, the other ones are at 10 AM 12AM and 16 PM. So yes.

Ah b - a very interesting question, one which doesnt have a one word answer....

France have been building up to this WC and have really improved as a TEAM, they have
fantastic players but their weakness could be playing at home. If things dont go according
to plan their supporters can give them a hard time, so there is massive pressure there.

You are right about NZ, they are not the team they were and dont have the same quality
of players in some positions as they once had.

Personally I'll go with France, they will have to make a big statement with this opening game...

As regards royalty.....South Africa are entitled to that royalty tag too in terms of WC's won.

Welcome to the board b, will you be watching some games?

Wait wait a minute guys!

Do you remember i said some time ago, we play here in the forum a lot of predictions pools of football in an app/page called superbru, well now they released the option to Rugby world cup to predict matches, so we can made our prediction pool. We can put 0.001 or the ammount you put 0.000735.

I drop here the link of the format and give your opinions.

Hey Timelord, I see you changed the thread title, you might want to include "RUGBY WORLD CUP"
maybe others will get involved when they see that included....IDK

Quote from: darxiaomi on September 01, 2023, 06:39:51 PM

Argentina its more favourite to win the World Cup than Scotland and Wales?, its this correct? Im not following so much so maybe im wrong, but one of that teams are in a very good run?

Asides of that Argentinian odds are low and high at the same time, anyways the odds are good on some teams like NZ and France.

And you dont have to make a bet on Argentina because its your team, you can go with NZ
and France too!!

Yea its interesting to see Argentina favoured ahead of both Scotland and Wales and
Argentina are definitely progressing but it will take a few years for them to be contenders
for a big title. Playing Australia, South Africa and New Sealand regularly will definitely help.

Anyway I like Argentinian Rugby so I hope they do well.

That sounds good Timelord, I'll be going with 2 teams: Ireland and France!

I see betting is suspended on Ireland - hopefully they don't get trounced in their first game.

Traditionally we under achieve in the WC I have a feeling this year it will be different,
we have the potential to win the title and our first game against Romania should go
ok for us. Ireland are currently 1.002 v 17.0 !

You're welcome to put a wager on Argentina (or France and/or New Zealand)

I wonder if @Welsh would be interested in having a wager?

That sounds good Timelord, I'll be going with 2 teams: Ireland and France! Browsing
through the offerings on ROLLBIT there are countless ways to make a bet, right down to a
bet as simple as a winner being from Northern or southern Hemisphere.

The list below shows odds for various teams and odds for the winner, NZ who are ranked
2 on world rankings behind Ireland are favourite. Ireland are 4th based on past performances
I think.

So I'll pick Ireland and France, I will send payment over the weekend.

At half time the Sea Eagles are leading 26 - 6 against perennial wooden spooners the Tigers.

Are we going to have a sweep on the Rugby tournament?

I figure 0.000735 is $20, so we could do (0.000735) for two teams e.g. Australia and New Zealand, or just one team. People need to agree which it is in the next couple of days *before* any funds are sent!

No limit on the number of teams you can choose.

If your team wins the competition, then you win the pot. If two users pick e.g. Argentina and they win, then the pot if split between the two who pick the winner.

My wallet address is bc1qj9nm97yx377z688cj7h0yl45wve28he05hgrah which has a blance of 0.00059834 (not part of my wager) - if there are no objections, I can hold the pot and distribute the winnings.

In the event of no winner, then all funds are refunded.

Post your teams chosen and TX.

Well now, just when we thought it was going to work out for the Broncos they only went
and got beaten by the Storm! 22-32 that pretty much puts an end to their claim to top spot.
The Panthers are not going to be beaten by the Cowboys.

Next game - sea Eagles v Wests Tigers, I'm going with the Sea Eagles too @ 1.22

Following that I'm going with the Rabbitohs over the Roosters @ 1.84, I know they
have had a real misex bag this season but I think they will be desperate to hold that magic
8th spot.
