I checked with ROLLBIT to see if they had the Womens NRL games listed, which they
dont but they do have the outrights.
I wouldnt have a clue about it though.
Yea I saw that the Panthers v Warriors game had only point spread betting available
and I dont know about that either! Predictably the Panthers won.
ah the poor auld Broncos, as my dad would say the Eels "put Rugby out of their heads" they
were going allright though compared to last year. They are now hoping the Sea Eagles do them
a favour tomorrow.

Rugby Union:
This week-end Australia and Power House South Africa go head-to-head. As an Aussie, I'm backing Australia who the other pundants feel will loose to SA.
Australia - South Africa Money Line Australia @ 2.46 Taken Amount: 0.10 mBTC Possible Payout: 0.246 mBTC
Argentina are at $ 8.54 against New Zealand two hours later in their all important show down:
New Zealand - Argentina Money Line New Zealand @ 1.05 Taken Amount: 0.10 mBTC Possible Payout: 0.105 mBTC
I'm gong with the shore-bet.
Rugby League:
I hear New York (in the top six of their League) got pounded 100 - 4 yesterday with seventeen tries being scored against them.
NRL:
The Eels pounded the Broncos into oblivion last night with a 53 - 6 drubbing at Lang Park last night. Broncos supporters were seen on public transport as early as half time heading home.
My picks for the remaining seven matches are:
Panthers, Storm, Raiders, Sharks, Rabbitohs, Dragons and the Knights.
Melbourne Storm - Sydney Roosters Money Line Melbourne Storm @ 1.60 Taken Amount: 0.10 mBTC Possible Payout: 0.16 mBTC
Canberra Raiders - Manly Sea Eagles Money Line Canberra Raiders @ 1.18 Taken Amount: 0.10 mBTC Possible Payout: 0.118 mBTC
Cronulla Sharks - Canterbury Bulldogs Money Line Cronulla Sharks @ 1.04 Taken Amount: 0.10 mBTC Possible Payout: 0.104 mBTC (bulldogs are $ 9.71 !! )
South Sydney Rabbitohs - North Queensland Cowboys Money Line South Sydney Rabbitohs @ 1.50 Taken Amount: 0.10 mBTC Possible Payout: 0.15 mBTC
Wests Tigers - St George/Illawarra Dragons Money Line St George/Illawarra Dragons @ 1.33 Taken Amount: 0.10 mBTC Possible Payout: 0.133 mBTC
Gold Coast Titans - Newcastle Knights Money Line Newcastle Knights @ 2.74 Taken Amount: 0.10 mBTC Possible Payout: 0.274 mBTC
The Panthers Vs Warriors game is locked (you'd have to imagine the Warriors are unlikely to win) - I *was* going to put a wager on the Roosters over the Storm, however due to misreading the lines (Panther's game locked) I selected the wrong team, so am going with the Storm instead.
The Women's NRL has gotten underway, however, there doesn't seem to be any bets on their games.

I've been away for a couple of nights and won't be able to put wagers on this week U till after today's NRL game has finished.
I'll pick the Eels to be too slippery for the Broncos and update my post tonight.
I'll pick the Eels to be too slippery for the Broncos and update my post tonight.
Thats exactly what I was thinking. The Eels still have decent odds though, 1.57 so I
have the usual 0.1mBTC on them.
Another interesting match with very favourable odds - Rabbitohs v Cowboys, the home
team are favourites but I picked up odds on the Cowboys @ 2.55 - 0.1mBTC wagerd.
Something else interesting is the match up between the Raiders and the visiting Sea Eagles,
who are big underdogs at 4.7, I am half thinking of putting a dollar bet on then to make a big upset?
The Raiders have their eyes on that 8th spot after the Eels send the Broncos down today.

I'm 4 from 4, I took the Cowboys last weekend too!
I also have the Panthers to win outright and I agree that it could also be the Sharks to take
the title this year.
Round 24 final round before the finals and the Broncos face the Eels, if they
play like last weekend they could miss out on 8th spot. The Raiders play the Sea Eagles
so they should be rightly up for that and hoping the Eels do them a favour.

Seven from eight as we near the finals!
The scores speak for themselves - there are two halves to this competition - the #NRLtopSIX and the rest.
If there were relegation, then these scores would be a rarity, not a weekly occurrence.
I watched the Broncos Vs Storm game from start to finish - the Broncos were playing the same as they were at the start of the season where I said I wouldn't back them any more. I'd be gob-smacked if they made the Grand Final.
Increasingly, I'm seeing The Panthers Vs the Sharks in the Grand Final with the Sharks to win. Week after week, they just get in and play a decent game.
If it's not the Panthers Vs Sharks, then it'd be Cowboys Vs The Storm (with Townsville winning that dust-up)
August 18, 2022, 02:00:43 PM
Really close game today between the Rabbitohs and the Panthers, I was following the score
on NRL.com, 12 - 12 at half time and 22 - 22 with 78 minutes gone when Liam Martin very Irish name!
popped over for a try and that was it.
I needed that win against the odds for my wallet!

And New Zealand in a close game over Argentina.
NRL:
Not an overly great late season round to have with just three from eight.
I think I'm going to go with the Rabbitohs or tonight's match up with the Panthers (and not just because they are the favoured team online). Townsville's Cowboys, Melbourne Storm (the Broncos will probably take their foot off of the accelerator given the Sea Eagles have missed out on eighth place on the ladder this year). The Eels will once again be too slipery for the Bulldogs. The Sharks will maul the Sea Eagles who gave up last round. Likewise, the Tigers are back to "playing games oold" as said by the ABC commentator during last weeks drubbing and should loose against the Roosters. The Dragons will slay the Titans after a year they'd rather not remember. Which just leaves the Knights to be slain by the Raiders.

Cowboys to beat the Roosters
Sharks to beat Wests Tigers
Updating my bets from last weekends round 22 from the NRL and it really wasnt supposed
to turn out the way it did with the top two losing but still retaining their positions. The Roosters
needed that win over the Cowboys to stay in the top 8.
Interestingly Rabbitohs play Panthers, will the Panthers be able to at least score this coming round?
Rabbitohs held the Eels scoreless last weekend.

Reading that report above it looks like there was somee bad refereeing decisions
but I'm not sure Australia would have wone anyway.

It was the Pumas’ biggest-ever win over the Australians and, on the back of the thumping
bonus-point victory, they moved to the top of the four-nation standings.

I just checked in with ROLLBIT to see if they have listed the Outrights and they do as follows for the winner:
I'm definitely going to have to check that service out.
I was gob-smacked to learn the Storm beat The Panthers 16 - 0 last night. It is the first time the Panthers have been scoreless in seven years. The last time was against the Storm and also at Penrith Park oval where they played last night.
What a strange game, I was following the score line on and off at work. ZERO points
scored by the Panthers and ZERO points scored in the second half by either team,
was anyone playing in the second half? did everyone go home? Joking aside do the
Panthers have their eye on the finals already and are they "saving" themselves for those?

Well i see the last 20 minutes when argentina was ahead and what i see was a lot of fault whistled by the referee and i really dont see any , but i think he was so fussy and charged Argentina with 8 fault in 10 minutes, however the Argentinian narrator says the Pumas was losing the discipline and commited so much fouls , so i think i was 50 % of referee and 50% of the Pumas players.
Hmm, The Pumas still have a lot of work to do to be more competitive. They are playing in a
competition with 3 top teams.

Rugby Championship: All Blacks star Beauden Barrett cleared of injury, available for selection against South Africa, after sickening mid-air collision
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/sport/2022/08/rugby-championship-all-blacks-star-beauden-barrett-cleared-of-injury-available-for-selection-against-south-africa-after-sickening-mid-air-collision.html
Beauden Barrett collected in mid-air by Kurt-Lee Arendse. Credits: Image - Getty Images, video - Newshub/Sky Sports
All Blacks star Beauden Barrett is expected to be fit and available for selection for the second test against South Africa this weekend, after escaping injury from his sickening mid-air collision during the first-test loss.
Barrett was taken out by Kurt Lee-Arendse while contesting a high ball during the 26-10 defeat at Mbombela, tumbling headfirst into the Mbombela Stadium turf in a hearts-in-mouth moment.
The Springboks wing was red-carded by referee Angus Gardner for the incident, as Barrett - after laying prone for a few moments - eventually left the field on his own accord, but was immediately replaced.
Coach Ian Foster said Barrett had undergone scans and was cleared of serious injury, but would be monitored closely throughout the week, before any firm decision was made on his availability.
But Barrett has informed Newshub that - much to his own surprise, given the severity of the fall - he's suffered no lingering pain whatsoever in his neck and is ready to go for Sunday's (NZ time) rematch at Johannesburg.

What a shit end of the game by the PUMAS, a shame, they have the win in their hands ,and they fall apart.
Argentina its playing bad in the last games, i hope we can improve. I only see the final of the game but seems like they have some fatigue.

Ah I didnt realise this competition had started, I actually didnt hear anything about it at all.
So first game down and a fairly big score difference, Argentina 26 - 41 Australia. Reading
a report on PlanetRugby it sounds like the Referee had an infleuence on the outcome with his
poor performance, not sure if the Pumas would have beaten the Wallabies anyway.
