unlucky about the worcester game jay. I actually went the other way but I am seriously looking at whether it is plus ev to back draws in some of these games now even though at the beginning of the season i never would of considered it.

OK,

Late one but fancy the overs in the Leeds Quins game. Care and Quins looked to be back to their attacking best last week and could run riot tonight against bottom of the table Leeds. Quins do conceed as well though (nearly an average of 20 a game so far this season) and Leeds should be able to score some although possibly not enough to win.

Hi Jaydubs

Just did a treble online .............Scarletts Under 33.5 pts 4/5(in-running), Ulster 4/9 and Leeds +14pts 2/5.
Did fancy Scarletts but thought they were too short against Edinburgh so took the in-running unders instead.
Could be a good shout on the Overs in the Leeds Game Fingers Crossed

P.S..............You have been unlucky with the Draws this season Mate Console

Have to agree, there has been a above average amount already this season. Win

Cheers Swash,

57 so far and Leeds back in to the game for you. Fingers crossed that Ulster hold on. Tight one with Llanelli.... 0.5 to play with .... Phew

Not wrong with the draws ,they have killed me this year. I think I have bet on every one so far....

Good Call on the overs Jay Win

Nice to have a Bet up by half-time with No anxious moments involved Yes

As For Ulster Crying or Very sad

13-6 up at Half-Time, fail to score in the second half and concede 19pts and all this while playing at Home

I'll be avoiding them for the considerable future.

I've just joined, thought I would say hello, I bet mostly on Rugby Union, tend to have a bet most weekends and do ok. Tend to back handicap accumulators or winning margin bets, have done most other rugby bets at one time or another but tend to stick to those two now. One thing I have noticed this season in the Guinness Premiership is it seems less sides are pulling handicaps back, I am becoming more and more reluctant to back a side of more than -7 as sides are very evenly matched, and even Northampton last week vs Bath at -7 you would have thought was nailed on given Bath's recent form but no it wasn't, I think the lack of tries is also helping games stay closer as in closer games teams tend to go for another 3 points than trying to force a try. Anyway, hope to get involved, post my bets for the weekend, etc, with the Heineken Cup it should be a good betting weekend.

Just the one from me in these matches as they are a bit uinpredictable

Leicester to beat Sale -15

A whole host of changes to the Sale line up after the 2 good H cup victories has given Leicester a very good chance of covering the hcp with ease. Sale have changed most of the pack for this game as well as having to rest Cueto and Tait due to EPS regulations. Although having some experience still in the backline with Wigglesworth, Hodgson and Cohen they dont have a centre pairing that have played together much and Lee Thomas will not be there to protect Hodgsons outside shoulder. Leicester have made a couple of changes on the rotation but nothing that will change a great deal and this could be the game Tuqiri finally gets some time and space and gets his Leicester career off and firing. Their back line looks strong and if Sales youngsters are not at their very best we could see all sorts of problems in midfield for them with Hipkiss and Allen making line breaks at will.

If I had to I would take Newcastle on the h'cp who look very strong and London Irish as well and possibly Wasps.

Good luck

Hi

One game jumps out at me today and I think Ulster are well worth a bet today to beat a understrength Munster side who are without all their current regular Irish Internationals due to Irish Rugby Union regulations (to prevent player burnout and have them as fit and fresh as possible for the Internationals).Ulster lost out last week away to Leinster 3-15 but they rested most of their Irish Internationals for that game but they return for today's match (S.Ferris, T.Court, P.Wallace and A.Trimble) where as Munster easily beat a understrength Connacht side last weekend 35-3 but they will be in for a far far tougher test when they visit Ravenhill where (bar winning there in 2007) they generally perform poorly.Ulster will look to win this first and foremost in the pack where they should enjoy a lot of success especially in the back rows with Munster's pack a basically 2nd string one.
Ulster have lost their last 3 in the Magners Lge including a very disappointing home loss to Glasgow and away to Munster 10-24 last October but they were impressive in beating Stade Francais quite easily recently at Ravenhill in the Heineken Cup where as Munster (although seriously impressive in beating Perpignan away in the Heineken Cup a fortnight ago) have only won once on the road this season in the Magners League and that was back in September against the Scarlets and I can't see them improving that record today.Ulster did the double over Munster last year and their only loss at Ravenhill to a Irish side in their last 7 encounters was to Leinster last December.Ulster are currently in 7th place in the Magners League on 19pts compared to Munster who are in 4th place on 25pts but a win for Ulster today would leave them just 6pts off leaders Ospreys and with their next 2 league games also at home they will be expecting to climb the table and I think they will start their climb with a win today over Munster and they should win (IMO) by at least a try and I am quite confident that they will do so.

ULSTER (-3) 10/11........................(Ladbrokes)
