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.

Does it not? amazing.

This thread is about betting on the Saints-Wire game. Your post is about betting on the Saints-Wire game.

If you did that same bet on the 4 games last season against them you would have lost everytime.

Obviously you dont keep records,but -8 was certainly not available on all 4 games last year.

I think he means that all 4 games last season would have lost you a bet with -8.

gordon bennett,the point is that the handicap mark is wrong,thats why i say that saints -8 is the bet.if the hc was saints -28 and my mark said it should be -16,then obviously wire on the hc would be the bet

No, the point you were making is that on past history, Saints should beat us by more than 8, therefore you think people should bet on Saints tonight. Whearas, last season (when past history was similar, in fact worse), betting on Saints with a -8 handicap would have seen you lose all 4 bets.

In other words, your logic for tonight is flawed.
