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

Maybe not but the point am making is if you were to do that bet (with the reasons you give you could of said the same last season) you would of lost.

do you see why we don't have(possibly need)a regular betting thread on here.

Unless it's latchford wolves fan bragging about being good at something

We don't need any threads but seen as it's a public forum, it's rugby related and some people have a view on it, i will post it.

I don't brag about anything, i simply put up odds 2 days before a game with my opinion, i then ask for other people to give there opinions, people like Sirlesboyd and JWP give good views.
If you don't bet then don't look at the thread unless you have no clue how it works and want to learn, Simple's.

Seb;
The logic is'nt flawed.As you rightly point out,the CC game was -14,the 1st was -8,the 2nd league game at saints was -12 and the home game was Wire +6.

The point I am trying to get across is,that according to a -8 handicap,the ookies are saying that Warrington are only a place or 2 behind Saints and I'm saying we are more than a place or behind Saints,hence my mark of -16.

Btw;
I have an opinion on the Cas/Quins game on sunday.Can that go on a seperate thread or does it stay on here?

Oh yes i agree we don't need one thread to run all year round but a couple of days before each match is fine, we have threads about the best cheese to eat and crocked pavement slabs on the streets, know there useless.

No, the bookies are saying that, on balance, they think Saints will beat us by 8pts. Looking at recent history, they have beaten us by that or less on several occasions. So, I think people were reacting to you saying "Quite a simple game to work out tonight." The reality is, it isn't. Sometimes Saints flog us, sometimes it's a last minute heartbreaker. We may even win! Who knows, new coaching staff and all that.

If gambling was simple, there would be alot of bookies going bust - doesn't seem to happen much!

What odds can I get on Ben Westood being injured in the warm up ?

You wont get anything from the bookies but ill give you 1/4.

The odds are short because there's a good chance of it happening.
