Yes, I'll go with Sale and the Harlequins. I sometimes wonder if it's viable to bet on all the favorites in any given week (as single bets, not parlays) about the day prior to kick off when the serious money has already been placed and the favorites are clear to see? 🤔

I was wondering the same thing and I was applying it to the 2023 Australian Rugby League season . . .
The results in the first half of the season were totally skewed, Panthers, Eels, Storm, Cowboys were
losing matches they should have been winning and the Broncos were winning!

Yea, betting on the favourites wont always pay but you would imagine that in the long run it would
be a winning tactic.

You are welcome back Timelord after a well deserved break. Yea the weather is crazy
pretty much all over....

We have Round 12 of the French Top14 kicking off on Saturday with Pau v La Rochelle,
followed by Racing 92 v Castres. I dont have any odds yet on ant of the matches? but
I'll be backing those two home sides if the odds are decent

Over with the English Premiership Round 11 is kicking off on Friday with Sale v Bristol
and Newcastle v Harlequins. Sale at home # 1.25 and Harlequins @ 1.37.

Yes, Happy New Year to one and all. I'm back on deck now after having a much needed end of year vacation. Flash floods, summer storms, bush fires are a part of Australian life. Now we have the summer cricket before the League recommences in March.

What games are on this week around the world?

Hey guys, Happy new year to you two who allways keeps this thread alive! I hope you have a very nice year.

And the same to you dar.

also to Timelord and others who frequent and visit the thread!

English Premiership match yesterday - Bath didnt win against Leicester, it was a real
long shot bet on them anyway.

and the long shot bet on Perpignon @ 8.2 in the French Top14 was the one I should have
done, they beat Castres 13-17 !

In Round 9 of the URC there are 4 matches being played today:

Connacht v Munster - The home side are favourites @ 1.89, it will be close but
Connacht have to put an end to their losing streak today....hopefully

Yea I lost on Racing92 in the Top14 and won with Harlequins in the English Premiership.
In the URC I lost with Glasgow and won ^{just about} with the Stormers.

More matches in the URC tomorrow!

1 match in the English Premiership today, Leicester v Bath, Bath are doing well, the odds
are with the favourites Leicester @ 1.21 but Bath are 4.90, I'll do a pure gamble on Bath.

and 1 match today in the Top14, Castres v Perpignon, the home side are big favourites
@ 1.09, no point in that and not going to back the ling shots @ 8.2

It's always nice to have a win (Bristol had been favoured to win, but in the end didn't). All in all , most favourites ended up winning, so I broke even.

It wont be long until the 6 Nations is upon us, looking forward to that!

In the Top14 yesterday I'm 1 from 1, Oyonnax were rightly favourites, winning 34 - 13

and Clermont Auvergne lost to the visitors Bordeaux Begles who seem to be in better form,
close though 35 - 40

In the English Premiership as expected Bristol Bears lost out to Exeter 14 - 24, that was
great odds 2.70.

Todays matches in both competitions are:

Top14

Lyon v Montpellier - I'm skipping this one, they are both at the bottom of the table, it will
be too close to call IMO.

Bayonne v Racing 92 - odds are 2.60 v 1.60. The odds are good on Racing I think because
of their double loss in the European Rugby Championship.

English Premiership

Saracens v Newcastle Falcons - Saracens are unbackable against bottom of the table Newcastle.

Northampton Saints v Sale Sharks - 4th position v 3rd position on the table, hard one to call
with the home side being the favourites @ 1.59 - i think I'll hold on this one.

Harlequins v Gloucester - I'm going with the home side favourites @ 1.28.

URC

Benetton v Zebre - Benetton are big favourites and are unbackable.

Edinburgh v Glasgow - the home side are favourites and Glasgow are 2.48, they might
be good for that.

Stormers v Sharks - Have to go with the in form home side @ 1.32

The six nations is still more than a month away, so it's the local competitions that are getting all the focus this weekend.

This weekend I'm going with all the favourites in the United Rugby Championship and Gallagher Premiership:

Leinster, Scarlets, Ospreys, Connacht, Stormers, Edinburgh, Benetton, Saracens -27.5 (clicked the wrong button Cheesy

), Leicester, Harlequins, Northampton and Bristol (all a dollar (equivalent) bet)

2 tournaments continuing on this week . . .

Top 14

Oyonnax v Pau - I'm a bit confused by this one - Oyonnax are the favourites against
the second placed team, Pau are 2.08 to win, I think thats a great price.

Clermont Auvergne v Bordeaux Begles - Again I fancy the visitors @ 2.49 although I
think this will be a close one.

English Premiership

Only 1 match tomorrow

Bristal Bears v Exeter Chiefs - Again as above I'm going with the visitors @ 2.70 after 9
rounds they have 2 more wins over Bristol.

2 out if 3 isnt that bad!

Quote

Cardiff v Dragons - Odds are 1.24 for Cardiff and 4.2 for the dragons who are currently
occupying last place in 16th.

And it was a very convincing win too 55 - 21 and the Dragons remain at the bottom.

Quote

Scarlets v Ospreys - This will be a close call 1.82 for the home side and 2.07 for the visitors
who might very well win, great chance to double the stake.

Scarletts 11 - 25 Ospreys, strange game, all the scores were in the first half, it was 0 - 0
at half time.

Quote

Final match should be a crowd pleaser Minster v Leinster - I think I'll go with the home side
and underdogs who are 2.90 for this, Leinster although in 2nd spot on the table can be beaten.

Munster couldnt overcome their home rivals, it ended 3 - 9! a game of 4 penalty scores,
another strange game, I was hoping to watch that match but I'm glad I didnt get the time.

We refer to that day as Boxing Day. E.g. in cricket, Australia usually has a "Boxing Day test" with which ever team is visiting over here at this time of year. (I'm usually sleeping off the Christmas cheer from today's festivities) 😁🎄☃️

Its St.Stephen's day here! Boxing Day I think is only celebrated in the most of the commonwealth.

You are 12 hours ahead, its only Christmas Day here now and there will be a good bit
of sport up and running tomorrow here. Horse Racing, Football and Rugby.

3 matches tomorrow to finish off Round 8 in the URC

Cardiff v Dragons - Odds are 1.24 for Cardiff and 4.2 for the dragons who are currently
occupying last place in 16th.

Scarlets v Ospreys - This will be a close call 1.82 for the home side and 2.07 for the visitors
who might very well win, great chance to double the stake.

Final match should be a crowd pleaser Minster v Leinster - I think I'll go with the home side
and underdogs who are 2.90 for this, Leinster although in 2nd spot on the table can be beaten.

The three bets were between $1.6 and $1.8 so I covered the three bets with two wins.

Happy days Timelord, as long as we are in the green its all good!

Two results from yesterdays United Rugby Championship went the way of the favourites.

Zebre Parma 24 - 31 Benetton
DHL Stormers 26 - 20 Vodacom Bulls

The balance of the Round 8 matches will be played the day after Christmas Day.

I havent been following the Gallagher Premiership Rugby over in the UK, just checking
in there and its very close between Gloucester and Northampton 24 each!

With 59 minutes Exeter are way ahead of Leicester so thats ok for you Timelord.

and Bath are ahead of Harlequins...that could end up being close, they are 2 and 3
currently on the table. The odds are closed on this match ATM.

In tonight's games I've got a dollar on Exeter, Gloucester and Bath - slim pickings, but it is a long long week-end. (Stay safe on the roads and don't drink and drive - crash at a friends place, not in your car)

Thanks to aoluain for keeping the home fires burning while I've been on vacation - I'll be back to work (and the forum proper) just after the new year.

Glasgow Warriors 22 - 10 Edinburgh - as expected

Ulster 20 - 19 Connacht - Just about but as expected, better performance from Connacht.

There are only 2 matches today in the URC, the balance of the matches will be played
on the 26th.

The Italian Derby
Zebre Parma v Benetton - Benetton being favourites are 1.24. IMO thats actually a good price
because I really cant see them losing.

South Africa
Stormers v Bulls - this should be close according to the odds 1.90 v 2.01, I'm going
again with the favourites.

URC

We are back in action tomorrow with Round 9, all the matches are derby's obviously
to save on the travelling just before christmas.

First up
Glasgow warriors v Edinburgh - Glasgow are favourites @ 1.45, gotta go with them.

Followed by
Ulster v Connacht - Ulster are favourites @ 1.24, gotta go with them also, Connacht have
lost their way over the last few matches in both competitions, hard to bet on them really.
