Dan Carter out of the tournament really throws the whole tournament open.
Shame to see the most complete player not be able to shine on the biggest stage.

just lay ireland at 1.18 on betfair. thats a 15% return on investment if ireland win. break even if they lose. of course u can adjust it to make a smaller guaranteed profit regardless of who wins

this overround calculator is handy in such instances
ur prices leave an overround of 82% so ur getting 1.18 on an irish win, same price as betfair. when you add in best price on italy and the draw to cover all eventualities your figure is 98% your guaranteed profit is practically non existentLast edited by steve; 01-10-11, 23:31.

doh, it's 10/11 not 11/10... Back to the drawing board - still gives us 1/4 though?
Stan James / Betpack are offering the 15/8. This is purely academic for me tbh, trying to wrap my head around a few things considering I start work in this stuff on Monday!Last edited by Emmet; 01-10-11, 23:41.

spotted the mistake, using wrong cell.. Simple adjustment!

Stan James only ones going 15/8 on the margin, don't have an account with them but I'd imagine the max bet would be quite low so you'd most likely be only locking up pennies here.

To play #7 against Italy, get MotM and not concede a single penalty while doing it? What a man!
The best part about him is he's a real Irish lad, talks about cattle and sells his Granny's bread to the rest of the team. He basically runs Tullow RFC and is always about doing coaching etc the length and breadth of Leinster.

The difference between 11-10 and 10-11 is huge, if u use a dutching calculator http://www.oddschecker.com/betting-t...alculator.html u wud have had ireland at 1.14 which is pretty similar to the match odds if i recall

France
@Emmett or some of the more knowledgeable rugby people can you give me the counter argument against this please..........
France are currently available at 16/1 (1/3 ew).
Havent really watched them yet & obviously their last match was a terrible result.
Havent they been building for this WC & what are the chances of them finally slipping into gear.
Is Lievremont that bad a coach & man manager?
Anyway, if they dispose of England (especially if they do it well) surely sitting with a 16/1 e/w ticket on a French team hitting form at the right time wouldnt be the worst thing in the world???

Right now they are a shambles and dont look capable of beating anyone, I actually think our QF is far stronger than the ENG/FRA one, who would have thought that 6 weeks ago??

france look a poorish outfit right now,as bad as ireland looked untill the aus match,and all of sudden we have a great chance of making the final.think its very possible that they can turn over the english,still think englands,ill-discipline could cost them along the way,maybe next weekend!you can get 7/2 on france to reach the final,but might be better off just backing them each match,france are 7/4 v england with most of the h.s. firms,and more than likely about evenish in the s/f,giveing you the bones of 5/1 to reach the final,and would be at least 2/1 to win v nz,aus,s.a. in the final,so perhaps could get more than the 16/1 thats out there at the mo!Mattie McGrath wanna-be

2. They dont play players in their best positions.
3. They hate their coach.
4. They have no confidence.
5. They lost to Tonga.
Obviously a talented group and if they take control of the team(much like England did in 07) then they might have a big game. History suggests that France have 1 big game at a RWC but I cant see it myself.

In his time as manager he gave many players caps from small clubs who were nowhere good enough for international rugby usually from small clubs.
He has made some bewildering decisions and been wholly inconsistent in some of his choices for the French.
He left behind Jauzion who on one leg is better than any other 12 in France
he has completely lost the dressing room openly critisisng great players like yachvilli
just this morning Harinordoquay said that critisism rightly should be held in dressing room not the media.
Moral is low and England are fairly poor i hope the french smash them have always loved watching France play good running rugby and they really hate the english
Lievermont is a loon and has lost teh faith of his players and the public in France

France have the best squad at the tournament and at some stage the selections will gel and the team will take a bit of pride and man up, they aren't lilly livered overpaid Prima Donnas like their soccer team.
On the other hand if we get unlucky and trip up over Wales I'll be hoping they find their groove against England because next to us they are the best hope of a NH tournament winner.Turning millions into thousands

If France had anyone but Lievremont in charge, I'd be smashing 16/1.
He really is the nut baffoon though. Has no idea how to
A - Pick a team
B - get on with people
C - Not alienate his entire squad.
But i fully agree, the 16/1 is too generous considering a result against England would make them favourites to reach the final, as neither ourselves or Wales beat them often enough.
The 16/1 is mispriced based on the match price of the France v England game imo. (But....)
Also - winning hemisphere North@7/2 on PP seems very long considering that we'll certainly have a NH team in the final...Last edited by Emmet; 05-10-11, 12:19.

The French knew that a loss without conceeding a bonus point would have been enough against Tonga to qualify. It's understandable that they could get into a lax mind frame in this situation. Personally wouldn't read that much into that performance or lack there of in their case. Very easy to see people/markets over reacting to that result so hard to believe that it would be -ev backing them outright due to this.Profit before people.

who are the best team from the northern hemisphere? and how would they price up against New zealand. Same Q for Austrailia.
Unless this is 5/2 (or closer to 2/1) then it cant be much value.
Then how much would this price differ depending on which european team is there

Going to have a small bet on new zealand -26 at evens v argentina.
Argentina are very limited with an ageing squad and losing Lobbe is a crushing blow
hard too see where they are going to score points from?
with a rampant nz backline and an excellent bench long day at the office for argentina.

Its a bit of a punt, but for potential valuetown I'm doing an accum with all 4 quarters:
NZ (-26),Eng (-4), Ireland, Australia - Its over 10/1 on every site.
NZ have the backs to run riot against the Argies who are missing their talisman Lobbe and have little to nothing creatively.
French are in the abyss and don't look like climbing out of it..Parra, an 11 stone scrum half, at out-half again. Bonnaire starting despite a horrific effort at a tackle for Tonga's 1st try the last day. England are no great shakes, but they have the edge on France in the RWC and I think the French could just implode if England get ahead..they look and sound like a team on the plane home already...of course they could also win by 20 points running in 3 tries from their own half..this is the French!
Ireland will boss the game up front I think...Halfpenny has been picked at 15 for Wales..he is smallish, so I expect aerial bombardment to pay at least some dividends. Meant to get wet Saturday in Wellyboot which will suit us I think.
Australia - have Pocock back which is huge. Boks have yet again picked Smit at hooker depite B Du P being a far better player. The Beast is dropped, Frans Steyn out (no long-range kicking option), Habana doubtful and they were well and truly demolished everywhere but the scoreboard by Samoa. Aus have won 5/6 recent games between the sides also.
Worth a shot overall."Ne jamais perdre sa passsionne...ou s'en, éloigner vite!!!!..EC

Manu Tuilagi, 105 kg v Morgan Parra 72kg (before we even take momentum etc.into account)
Nick Easter, 117kg v Parra,72kg...same scenario.
How do you think that will go?
Put it this way..even a guy regarded as defensively suspect at 10, ROG is 84kg. Trinh-Duc, who Parra replaced, is 93kg.
Size isn't everything, but Parra simply isn't physically capable of standing up to guys crashing through him in a backline.

i like over 37.5 points in the ireland wales game. just over evens on betfair. i dont expect this to be a bore fest. wales have a tendency to give away a lot of penalties particularly at breakdown time so Rog should be able to keep the score board ticking over on our side and we are capable of getting over, and wales have shown there capabalities in an attacking sense too. im predicting a score of 25-19, just dont know to which team!!

Did anyone chose to blindly follow Yardie's tips in the other thread on boards.ie? His reasoning behind most has been rock solid, even if they haven't come in.
This morning though. beautiful
Originally posted by YardieSome bets I fancy over the weekend.
Ireland/Wales- Another very tight game and fancy Ireland to win it. Weather is likely to be poor so under 36 points at evens looks best bet here. Ferris man of match @ 12/1 and Warburton m-o-m @9/1 worth small punts too.
South Africa/Australia- Hard to pick winner here. Weather are gonna be atrocious so would side with Sth Africa, however best bet seems to be under 37 points @ evens
England/France- hard to know which French tema will turn up but even if poor French side turn up I can't see England beating anyone well so will likely be another low scoring game. France +5 @ evens looks value but I prefer under 38 points @ evens again in this one. Also two sides with poor discipline. Yellow card @ 5/4 on paddypower is very attractive.
New Zealand/Argentina- New Zealand will win this handily enough but Arg may put in respectable performance and keep score down. Arg +27 is worth a look but I can't see Arg scoring many points so under 47 points is prob best bet @evens- 6/4 on sporting bet here with NZ winning 36-6 or something like that. Muliana makes 100th appearance for ABs for man of match and tryscorer worth backing for him.
A 4 fold of unders in all 4 games is 14/1 on bet 365 so gonna have €10 on this too. Good luck lads, take er handy on the booze tonight so ye's don't miss the game at 6!
Edit the same acca for unders with 2/3 pts less per game is 48/1 on sportingbet.def worth a 5er.Originally posted by YardieGet in you beauty!!! Hope some of ye took the 48/1!!
