What you have remember is that there are only 2 or 3 rl odds compilers and they usually read from the same script.The other bookies copy and paste to within 2 points to stop the arbers.Hence the reason for doing your own handicaps and having your own opinions.So it was quite easy for me to work out.

Cant see a problem with having a season long betting thread for like-minded folk.Theres 1 on the Hull fc board that makes good reading.i'm sure there are a few on here that would rather read that,than something inane like,"whats your fav 3rd play the ball move"

I have just put £100 on Warrington to win outright.

Best of luck

Quite a simple game to work out tonight.
Take 1 team that regulary wins trophies or finishes runners up against another team that regulary struggles to finish in the top 6,has not won a trophy since the mid 90s,has an aging team and has a habit of playing players in the wrong position.Put this together and the bookies handicap of -8 is quite simply wrong,it should be double that.

St Helens -8 is generally available


May aswell try for a 3rd time,even though the above statement,has nothing to do with this thread.

i agree with what you`ve said it is fact...but the saints team is the one ageing...fancy us with 8..in fact fancy us to sneak it....should we get walloped then it does`nt bode well for the season...

Actually, I think you'll find our average age is higher than theirs and has gone up since 12 months ago whilst theirs has actually gone down.

Are you going to run a book as to when Briers will spit his dummy out?

hate to say it but live wired was correct with the 8 start for us...evwn after holding a 14-0 lead we still balls it up....we might get there one day

Eh? Live Wired was totally wrong. He would have lost having steamed into this apparently amazing -8 that was available and would also have lost by an even greater margin if he had taken the higher margin that he suggested the bookies should have suggested

Bookies get it spot on for a second week running. They aren't stupid.

Edit: Just realised the betting genius that is Live Wired suggested Saints -16
