R5 of the URC kicks off this evening my time, I'm trying to look gor some value bets like
Timelord last weekend.
Zebre v Cardiff - both teams are even enough at this stage. The odds have Cardiff
as favourites 2.30 v 1.68, close enough to maybe put a small bet on Zebre?
Edinburgh c Bulls - similar odds as above 1.67 - 2.31, this is a tough call but I would
probably go with Edinburgh eventhough they wouldnt have won last weeks match if Connacht
hadnt made that simple error
I might do a multi bet on:
Ulster at home to beat the Lions @1.13
Munster at home to beat the Stormers @1.21
Glasgow Warriors at home to beat Benetton @1.18
Total odds 1.61

Yes, I've always heard good things about Connacht so I thought I'd go with them. I'll have to be more mindful of Edinburgh as the weeks go on.
... Ah well, Maybe next week.
... Ah well, Maybe next week.
Yea they are getting better and better, they have 2 players on the 1st national team, sometimes 3.
They won the Pro14 which was the competition before the URC in 2016, one of only
a handful of teams to win it. It was dominated primarily by Leinster and Munster of Ireland with the
Ospreys and Scarlets regular winners and Glasgow Wariors winning it once also.
Last nights match they made too many errors and gave away too many penalties.
Todays match between Dragons and Leinster went as expected and as per your bet
Dragons 10 - 33 Leinster

Ah I wouldnt have gone with the Ospreys, Glasgow Warriors are a stronger team and
they won 23-31.
I watched the Edinburgh v Connacht match last night, Edinburgh were very strong in
the first half but Connacht were able to defend well, second half as usual Connacht
can back into it and with over 1 minute to go it was 22-22.
JJ Hanrahan kicked the ball out thinking the clock was in the red but he was over a
minute too early which gave Edinburgh time for the line out on the 10 metre line
and the resulting drop goal to win 25-22.

They were some odds!
Round 4 of the URC kick off tomorrow. The second match will be a hum dinger, Ulster v Munster,
two Irish teams again. Ulster will be out for a win after narrowly missing out to Connacht last
weekend. I think it will be close again and I cant get Rollbit loaded to check the odds.
On Connacht, they play away to Edinburgh, it will be a tough one and hopefully they can retain
their no 1 spot.

I'm not sure of the whole New Zealand team's composition, but there were NRL players not just in the Auckland Warriors, but a sprinkling of other players in various NRL teams.
Odds? I think it was about 5:1 🤔

The whole of last week has been a bit of a blur.
New Zealand pounded Australia 30 - 0 in the Pacific Cup while Fiji was beaten by Papua New Guinea 12 - 32 in a better played game. (Even the highlights on the NRL.com website can't make Australia look good) . 🤔

Whaaat?
I looked at the line up last Friday and thought 'ah well, its going to be an Australia win'
What were the odds before the Australia v New Zealand match? I would imagine the
Kangaroos were favourite given they beat the Kiwis the previous week. There has to
be something wrong somewhere in the Aussie camp I mean it just doesnt make sense
to be dominant one week and the following week to be totally blown off the pitch and
failing to score at least once.

In some cases the "Video ref" isnt even on the grounds! they can operate remotely and
still be in contact with the on field ref!
Rugby Union - URC
Round 3 kicks off on Friday with Glasgow Warriors at home to the visitors DHL Stormers,
tough 3rd match for the Warriors IMO but they are favourites @ 1.37, Stormers are 3.0,
I wonder if they have a full strength team after SA winning the RWC? Thats a tempting bet
to go with the Stormers @ 3.0
Connacht play home rivals Ulster on Saturday. Connacht at home are slight favourites
at 1.75.
The other 2 Irish sides, Leinster and Munster are massive favourites ao no point doing an
ML on them.

From the weekends round 3 of the URC it looks like the South African trams are suffering
from the loss of key players from the RWC. Stormers, Sharks and Lions all lost but it was
only the Bulls which beat Zebre.
I watched the Connacht v Ulster match which was a very close affair with Connacht winning
by 2 points.
The 2 stand out matches for me over the weekend was the Ospreys beating the Sharks
19 - 5 and Benetton beating the Lions 15 - 10, I dont know what the odds were beforehand though?

I'll have to have a look and see if there's any good odds on this games.
In one months time the Rugby Sevens kicks off in Dubai. (Not sure I like the slender game play times)

The NRL has a "bunker" with a video ref - viwers get to see the replays, rewinds and freeze frames in real time. It's accepted by everyone and there is now a "captain's challenge" where one team can request a video review (usually towards the end of game play when teams are looking to catch their breaths).
October 31, 2023, 06:59:58 AM
During the Grand Final I was watching with interest the video referees who had a pannel In front of them with a wide variety of camera angles. At one point, one of the operators used their fingers to zoom in in the game play frozen in their monitor as a person would do in their camera phone.
I've no doubt the camera clarity for broadcast is that much better (and it would want to be with a global audience watching on).

Yes its a great system, but I thought for a lot of the matches where there was room or need for the video ref
to get involved they didnt, eventhough we were shown replays of a particular incident in question.
Anyway the idea is also that the game play is speed up with no need for extended deliberation on the field,
the decision can be made fairly quickly and play resumes. Overall its a good system.

So.... we just see the MOST lucky champion in the history of Rugby World Cup?.
They win by one point in QF.
They win by one point in SF.
They win by one point in the final.
They win by one point in QF.
They win by one point in SF.
They win by one point in the final.
...and the only team that beat them was Ireland!
For me New Zealand deserve to be the champion, they played way better with one men less, and they missed two chances with the foot. GG For me the red card was TOO MUCH in a final in the frist half, you cant blow that as a red card.
I disagree, IMO the scoreboard reflects the performance of both teams, SA were only
marginally better than NZ. NZ had some very good attacking play but they also
made a lot of errors due to the SA defence and ferocity in the tackles.
The RED card decision was correct, its something the officials have been cracking
down on -head contact-
If NZ had been at full 15 man strength they probably would have won though.
Yes we can have diferent point of views clearly and i understand what yous aid and i also agree in some with you, in high performance sports a nail or a hair can make the diference between being champion and not.
About Ireland yes really sad, it was one of the better team by far.
For example right here, for me the NZ player doesnt have bad faith in his tackle and was a fast play, you are not thinking about damage or injury the other player and also you dont fully understand the play. Different is for example when in a kick a player knowing he is being late charge with so much force and damage the other player.
I agree with you, it happens so fast, half a second, but thats sport and sport gambling,
the game and result can be determined and changed by a split decision, a mis tackle, or
a momentary loss in discipline.
With Rugby being a simple game with a fair amount of rules the officials are very much
on top of the play so all infringements and errors are caught and dealth with.

Pity for your bet Timelord, would have been nice for one of us to have won.
Pity also that we didnt get more interest from other members to place a wager,
chances are then that someone would have won the pot.

As it was the price of Bitcoin had risen, so our $20 wagers had improved to ~ $26.50 by the time the payout occurred.
