Slight update (including Wigan)

Hudds -16 vs Cas
Salford vs Leeds -14
Bradford vs Saints -6
Catalan -14 vs Hull KR
Hull FC -26 vs Widnes
Warrington -26 vs Wakefield
Wigan -24 vs Broncos

There are some hefty points for the Big teams to overhaul
Stil fancy Wakey, Bradford and probably Widnes

Leeds for me tonight. Cleared the 14 in 3 out of their 5 so far and 2 out of their 3 away from home. Also going on them to score the last try too. Skinny at 1.53 but they've scored it in 4 of their 5 and Reds have only done it the once in their 6.

Leaving the Hudds/Cas game. 18's a big line (which Hudds have only cleared the once at home to Widnes) and you would think Cas'll be better with Basil back.

I disagree with the Hudds ones.

We should be rejuvenated this week, A few players back, But missing Danny Orr is a monster blow.

You can now back Cas with 20. And that for me, is just too much. If we get some field position, We will score points.

The others i liked the look at were Bradford +8. And the certainty. Should be Wigan -22

I’m not a gambling man but I will put my hand up with a prediction

Hudds
Leeds
Saints
Catalan
Hull FC
Warrington
Broncos

I'm taking the biggest handicap Ladbrokes will offer of (-3icon_cool.gif on Hudds @6/1, the (-1icon_cool.gif is printing money

There is no doubt that they should win but -38 is having a laugh

Last season (when they were better than they are now) Cas lost by 56 (Leeds), 34 (Catalans) and 62 (Warrington) away from home and 22 to Hudds

This could [ueasily[/u be 38

Now that their boss is back, I think Cas will be up for it. They wont wid, but I dont see a stuffing.

Different circumstances. Cas didn't have a recognised front row for those games. Although it isn't at full strength, it won't be quite that easy to split us down the middle.

Better?

All those results came when Cas were missing the following:
x2 Fullback
x2 Winger
x1 Centre
x4 props
x2 second rowers

that's 11 players missing for long periods, and for at least one game there were 13 first team players out injured.

Tricky week decided to back Catalan and Wigan

Castleford put in the worst performance I have seen for years last week against London. I don't think that is a bad bet at all, excellent value. The fact that the only good thing going for them is a return of Ian Millward is another positive. I would have preferred Orr to be playing as he is a total liabilty these days.

My main reservation would be whether Huddersfield can motivate themselves against such lowly teams and score the points required. Danny Brough was asleep for most of the London game.

Danny Brough try anytime is 3/2

could some kind soul explain this handicap betting to me please? I fancy having a little gamble but I just don't understand how betting on handicaps works, how odds come into it etc.

Simple mate, Salford are +14 v Leeds tonight, if you back Salford they get a 14 point head start, if you back Leeds they have to win by more than 14.

Hudds and Leeds looks like it would've been easy money now..wish I'd put the double on

thanks Jonny. I didn't do a very good job of framing my question, do you bet on the odds of a given handicap being overturned or are the winnings fixed and its just the handicap itself you wager against?

I'm confused...

If you pick Salford +14 or Leeds -14 the odds are generally 10/11

There is an alternative handicap, when if you think Leeds will smash Salford you can bet on Leeds say -40 at better odds.

im with you now

. I think ill leave it alone and stick to straightforward win/lose bets. Seems like one has to bet big to get decent returns on handicaps at those sort of odds. Thanks for being patient though

So exactly 38 then. Lost out on the (-3icon_cool.gif with a small stake but cashed in big time on the (-26) @ 2/1

Printing money that one

I backed hudds 36-40 at 14/1 as I knew we were going to gett hammered. I did a couple more margins just incase so only had 2quid on it.

Very unlucky. Their lack of concentration cost you at the end, they would have won by 50 if they put their minds to it.

Need Wigan -24, Wire -26 and Hull -26 for all 7!
