Weekend Bets
Gawd, VB Finals, Super14, 6 Nations ... where to start?
First the cricket. I'll watch tonight, but won't be doing much, unless SL win the toss and get off to a rollicking start. Actually I'm hoping they'll get pummelled as I think they stand a much better chance of pinching the second game in Sydney on Sunday, which is where I will be betting.
6 Nations - I haven't had the time to follow this; but from a distance wonder why the Scots are at 3.0+ to beat the Welsh. It may be worth a small wager.
Super14 - right, I've done my thinking, am all set and here goes (prices are at Betfair):
Blues ($1.66) v Hurricanes ($2.66) - Blues deserves to be favourites, but only slightly so. At the prices, have a lash on the Canes.
Cheetahs ($2.96) v Bulls ($1.56) - let me get this right. The Cheetahs beat the Bulls in the Currie Cup final last year, the Bulls have injuries, and they are playing in Blomfoentein, not Pretoria. And the Cheetahs are 2/1 ??? This is the bet of the weekend.
Force ($3.35) v Brumbies ($1.44) - typical; when I buck the trend and do not think the Brumbies are a spent force (no pun intended), half the team go and get sick tummies. The gods are really lining up this to be a dream start for the Perth team. I just can't see it - I may be proven wrong, but I'm not putting money on this game.
Crusaders ($1.24) v Highlanders ($5.3) - a win by the Cantabs is likely, but the Highlanders do not deserve to be 4/1 - a small sneaky wager on the Otago boys with the expectation that it is money probably down the drain is in order.
Cats ($1.93) v Stormers ($2.14) - who knows? No bet for me.
Reds ($3.05) v Waratahs ($1.45) - prices seem about right, so no bet.
Sharks ($2.34 v Chiefs ($1.76) - again, the prices seem fair, so no bet.
So here's what to do with a lazy hundred:
$60 on Cheetahs to beat the Bulls at $2.96
$30 on Hurricanes to beat the Blues at $2.66
$10 on Highlanders to beat the Crusaders at $5.30
