Huddersfield are 13/2 to win the Challenge Cup in a four horse race.Is this true or have i been dreaming.

if thats what the bookies say................
dont forget to some people were still crappy little Huddersfield who only win by playing dirty or teams with injuries......

I think those odds are very very generous.

There hasn't been much to choose between Saints and the Giants all season and the other two could turn in performances that would be more akin to National League teams on their day.

If Giants win on Sunday I would make them favourites to lift the cup!

Huddersfield have NEVER won a big game in the Super League era though. Despite your form and the strength and health of your squad bookies look at past history first and foremost.

I reckon you've got a great chance of not only beating Saints but doing so comfortably. But would anyone be surprised to see Saints outsmart the giddy Giants or for Wigan to beat them at Wembley if they get there?

.........so hammering Leeds at Odsal in the Semi Final in 2006 wasn't a big game then ???

No. The final was a big game.

I cracked a tenner on at the start of the year so thats a nice £280 return if they manage it!

I got them at 10-1 to win cup about a month ago, put £30 on so I will be a Huddersfield fan for the weekend!

Ladbrokes are quoting 8/1

You,ve peaked too early...your gonna get beat at the weekend and thus starts the dip in form.

S'funny - I was just typing the same thing about Stellans.

Decent price, ive a feeling you guys may surprise the 'big' sides.

Hudds are third in the league and are there on merit,so why the extended odds.

I'd be tempted to lay some of that bet off if I were you. Not that I'm saying your won't win the cup or anything but you will need to beat two good teams to do so and by getting odds of 28-1 on a cup win, you could lay your tenner back off (on Betfair) at odds of 7.6 (currently) meaning that it is a no lose bet. If you've not got a Betfair account, that's even better since they offer you free bets with your first deposit!

If Hudds win the cup, you get £280 from the Bookies but lose £76 on Betfair = profit of £204.

If Hudds don't win the cup, you win £10 from Betfair but lose the £10 you staked at the bookies = NO LOSS at all!!

Of course you could lay more off to get a guaranteed return win or lose but as the odds are quite large the return wouldn't be great (about £23.70).

If you want to know more, send me a PM and I will try and explain.

Got my money on. Any team who do the double on the next Grand Final winners are nailed on for the cup.



Seriously, I have got money on you guys. The rest are up their own ar$es.

Is that supposed to be Sintellins?



Anyway. What form? We've been up and down like a blessed yo-yo all season. It's taken me this long to adjust without feeling dizzy afterwards. So I have no idea which team will turn out against you on Sunday. Could be the creative team or the fantastic scrambling defence team or the can't keep hold of the ball clueless team. No idea which! However, given the number of Challenge Cups we have won lately and given that we have somehow managed to keep hold of the top spot so far this season, that puts us as favourites. But that's all.

In the 2006 semi Leeds were a far superior team on paper, it was a massive game for us make no mistake.

Hopefully history will repeat its self and we'll beat top of the league 'big club' opposition who have underestimated us!

Bookies had Oldham to beat Scholars by 56 tonight. Think it ended up where they won by 6 and that was only in the last minute. What do the bookies know?

Fancy £10/20 on that I thinks.

Look at it this way...

We got to our first semi in years and got tanked
Then we got to another semi and won it in style...getting to our first final in years, and got tanked.


This time we go to the final, and win it in style - its just how it works

Coupled with the fact that we didn't have to play York on the way!

Just thrown £20 on you boys to win the cup.

Really don't fancy our chances of even getting to the final.

you do know that now you've written that it will be a Warrington v Giants final don't you?

Had some of that this morning. Mate of mine got 11/1 a couple of weeks ago really good price for a 4 horse race.

Well, 2 horse race, the semi on saturday is to decide who loses to the winner on Sunday
