Do I really need to explain?

Which firm do you work for?

I'm also in the boat that its best to back early.

Albeit, We dont know how the teams will fare up. But neither do the bookmakers. The one thing us in the industry dont like is not having all the information in front of us, Thats where we make bigger losses

The fact people are on with Cas -2, Is a clear indication of why your statement was ridiculous, When Wakefield will struggle to even get 17 recognised players on the field.

And i work for William Hills. There are plenty of opportunities in RL to make money, From week 1 to 27 and the play offs.

It's like the blind leading the blind on this thread. Good luck all.

Don't usually take a punt, but will stick £50 on us to beat FC, feeling confident.

Cas now at -8 on skybet.

beg to differ.......well, you got the team right.

I think if you look back to 20th July 2008 I think you'll find that if someone were to have laid 500 pounds a point over the 8 on offer they would have made 46 x 500...or 23 grand in old money. Quins squad was decimated by the RFL diciplinaty commitee after our brawl with the dirty french the week before.....everyone knew Castleford would hammer us......except a couple of spead betters and william hill

Yes if you dont mind.

Think we will hammer Wakie and if we want to be pushing for a playoff spot we should do too.

Have to agree with that about Wakey.

I also like to get on favourites early before the price gets smashed into, and opposite if you backing the dog, as a rule of thumb anyway.

Quite right, They had 11 players missing

Cas were available +10 or 3/1.... This soon shortened to 9/4

I phoned the Odds Compilers at Hills the week before, And if you came in my shop. You didnt get on, As i personally refused the bets, Much to the annoyance of Ladbrokes, And my customers.

But i told them that Quins were going to be decemated, And they proclaimed that they had the experts that had made the market... So be it... The rest is history

If my memory serves me right, Cas won 64-12. I wont an absolute packet, As did everyone in Cas.



I actually can see Cas running in 50 points on Wakey in week 1 also. May have a look at the spreads

Trouble with the spreads is that there the last firms the put prices up by the time they come up the lines have reflect the real probability of the event. I would imaging you would be buying the supremacy well into double figures.

I couldnt resist the -8 on Cas on SKYBET.

My personal 'bet of the century' was at the start of last season where there was an error on the bookies website. It had Salford +18 away to Leeds at 117/1 (Leeds won by 12). It would only let me put a fiver on though. I was surprised the bet honoured but I quickly withdrew the funds straight after the game!

I think I would have been opening an account in the wifes name and sticking another £5 on.

I fancy Wakey at +8

(Backs to the wall and that)

i reckon you will be able to pick up a 10 start on wednesday or thursday.

You are the bet "specialist" at william hill trying to persuade people to bet on wakey to offset your mess up and I claim my £5.

Coral

You best put the £5 back down


William Hills havent yet published prices on the game, As were very cautious.

He's obviously from Skybet

Cas minus 6 doubled with Wigan minus 2. Paying just over 5/2 with sporting bet.

As long as Cas win minus 2 im happy tho.

Really looking forward to this weekend now.

Paddypower have finally got their odds up for MM, most are pretty close.
They have Wakey +8 and also Bradford +8, both are tempting!

No odds up for the Hull derby yet though, which is weird.

Kear is a good coach but he aint Paul Daniels. Similar hair cut though.

Gone for a tenner on a cheeky accumulator - Wigan -4, Wire -6, Cas -8 and Leeds -6.

Great bet for me as a leeds fan, because I'll know by the sunday if it's down to the Leeds result or not - so I can just watch that game and hope for a win by 7pts to pocket £130.

So let me get this straight because I don't pretend to understand all this betting jargon.

Bet365 Wigan to start on a -4 is at 16/1 and so if Wigan win by 4 or more points I'll win?

Same site, Castleford to start on -8 at 16/1 and so if Castleford win by 8 or more points I'll win?
