Gold, just wondering how u came up with a 2 point difference in the ratings for the cowboys and sharks????????????????????????????????????

[thefan]

btw what since starting that goldmemeber what is the sucess rate so far

[thefan]

Ive just had a scroll through rd 5 odds.

Pretty good odds this round. Penrith/storm +2.5
dragons/manly +4.5

[goldmember]

Fan, this only my ratings for players,as a guide only, and can vary a little from one week to the next,
missed round 1
R2 4/7
R3 3/7
R4 2/7

I also do my own prices when the teams come out, which i fare a lot better[but not always back] for instance last week:
had the panthers @ $1.60, they opened up at $1.47- no bet
the storm @ $1.85 -they opened up at $1.67 unders for me- no bet
raiders @ $1.75 -opened up at $1.85 out to $2 - didnt back them [stupid]
cowboys @ $1.10 opened up at $1.22 -specials - unloaded on them

souths @ $1.70 [?] opened up at $3.15 didnt bet sunday
sharks at @ $2.05 - opened up at $2.15 "" "
rooster @$1.40- opened up at $1.22 [stupid price] " "

i had the raiders rated on top but picked the dragons and also rated the bulldogs on top but picked the sharks in the tipping comp, so i dont always follow them., there just a guide for me.

Searay,i factor in their recent form as well,probably where the cowboys were down a little from the sharks is the 2 halves, Kimmorely/Dykes would HAVE to rate higher than the [without Shepard] Myles/Thurston duo.

Surely your joking, Thurston is the form player of the comp, dykes is the worst buy of the season and if any of the sharks forwards get within 5 of each cowboy forward, then u have to reassess your rating formula,..........Just my opinion......Cheers.

[Searay]

Have u seen the prices for this week, gee theres value everywhere. I want to know who opens up the prices, do they know anything?


Saints to start favourite against the unbeaten manly.....PLEASE, They havent won yet!!!

The sharks $1.60 , the cowboys 2.20, what tha?????????

The panthers my goodness,. giving the storm start, what planet is that on?
The unbeaten raiders getting 4.5 from the woeful chooks, and its down at canberra......PLEASE.

Might well be a position vacant at the TAB next week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I see the early money this week is for the warriors [$76,500]and the storm +2.5.
Interestingly the warriors have not won in NZ outside Ericsson stadium,1 draw and 4 losses from 5 games at West Pac Trust stadium, and 0/2 at Jade Stadium [this weeks venue] losing in R14 last year to the W/Tigers 50-4 !
[also to the Balmain tigers 34-22, back in 96']. The Warriors have not won 2 straight since the finals in 2003, and their fav's for this game - go figure ?

[Sportz]

Searay,

Notice those first 3 ones. Home teams. That's the main reason that St Geo, Sharks and Penrith are favs. Not saying that Manly, NQ and Melb won't win, but 6 home teams out of 7 won last week. It's a powerful factor. As for the Roosters, they obviously think a return to form is due.

[goldmember]

those prices are silly, i had the storm, tigers - fav's,manly and cowboys a lot shorter, broncos a LOT longer, the knights/rabbits equal favourites or if you like equal outsiders, and the roosters slightly longer, have to sit down and think where to bet this week.

[thefan]

My money of the round has to go on the Storm

[Searay]

I do understand all that sportz, but in penriths case especially, they have a terrible home record against the storm, and thats when they are playing well! You could just about say that the storm are absolute certainties this week the way penrith have been travelling.
And the sharks, they have beaten penrith at home who were horrific, the eels, say no more and the dogs at home who had more injuries than sutherland hospital. The cowboys also would have tro be close to absolute certainties.....

Just my thoughts......CHEERS

[Chuck]

These are just my personal rankings of the teams form at the moment:
Storm
Cowboys
Sea Eagles
Raiders
Tigers
Warriors
Broncos
Roosters
Bulldogs
Eels
Rabbitohs
Panthers
Sharks
Dragons
Knights

[sparkus8]

Geez Chuck you're a bit rough on the Sharkies having them in 13th. Surely they are going better the the Bunnies and Panthers, not to mention teams like Parra and the Dogs.

Other than that though it looks to be a solid lineup you have there.

Cheers,

Mark

[Searay]

No doubt the bet of the week is The BRONCOS, take them at the line which will be very safe......

[thefan]

im gonna have a second think about the broncos.. in the past this team has cost me the most with upsets... Parra could still win this one...

[Searay]

After what happened to the broncos last week, they will not get beat against the terrible eels!

[Floydyboy]

I just couldnt believe the NRL prices this weekend
MELB ,SEA EAGLES, COWBOYS ..all over $2 Canberra and Tigers not without a chance up there as well VALUE VALUE VALUE .
On reflection though the bookies arent idiots or a benevolent fund
Im stumped.... they cant reckon the hometeam advantage is worth that much in these matches

I suppose the old adage of If something looks too good to be true ....It probably is ......... comes to mind .......

But I just cant see those top 3 getting rolled or at worst Melb and Cowboys Look like DEAD SET SPECIALS(havent heard that saying for yonks)...........whos all the big money going on (not that theyre right all the time) ..bugger me I cant work it out
If they were paying 1.7 or 1.8 Id still think they were good bets but $2 and over WHY ARENT THEY FAVS???????????????????????????????????????
Any thoughts

[Searay]

No idea, but agree too, absolutely ridiculous odds to the storm and cowboys. My goodness the cowboys opened up 2.40, that didnt last. The storm also get 2.5 start at 1.85......PLEASE. Maybe its just too good to be true....

[thefan]

whos punting this weekend

[thefan]

OMG storm! Its like everytime i pick them for the comp they tend to lose,when i dont pick them they win....Just my luck!

[Sportz]

Have u seen the prices for this week, gee theres value everywhere. I want to know who opens up the prices, do they know anything?

The panthers my goodness,. giving the storm start, what planet is that on?

Might well be a position vacant at the TAB next week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Going to chow down on some dog food??? :D

[thefan]

I gotta say this years competition is furious and nothings a safe pick... Go the doggies

[Floydyboy]

So it was you who cost me all those multis ......curse you fan .........If I may digress for a moment whats the point of having a bloody footy station on fox when ya cant watch the friday match live......... replays, old replays and older replays ,fotballers bloody wives for gods sake what a waste of air time

I suppose Im airing my grievances to the wrong people and Im probably just sour cos all them multis went down the toilet with the storm curse you fan curse you haha ..good luck for the rest of the weekend mate and DONT back the BRONCOS

[thefan]

dont follow my picks im always wrong,did everybody learn it the hardway.

Broncos -7.5 everybody , with afl sydney +19.5 start... i put my moneys on this
