Will be posting up my bets here. Managed to turn 100 into 1000 twice in 2007, a painstaking process. I will try to replicate here with rugby bets only. Il post up this weeks bets closer to the weekend.
Here goes nothing
€20 Ireland -4 points @ 10/11
€10 Double Ireland -4 @10/11
France -21 @ 10/11
Bank €70
Think Ireland -4 at 10/11 is a good bet. As I said to you on another thread somewhere, when the margin is low like that I don’t think there’s much danger of the leading side just cantering over the line.
France on the other hand will need to push it until the end to beat the Italians by a margin that means nothing to them - unless they’ve all backed it too. I agree with another comment you had that Italy are a first 2 matches sort of team in the 6 Nations and the fact that France have made a few changes again means guys are playing for places so that should keep them motivated.
That said I think the disruprtion of a 60 minute rotation might just stall the French and I’m going to stick clear of that.
I’m with Rock on this. I think 21 is just too much of a spread to be confident France will make sure of it. Especially when they begin to empty the bench around sixty minutes. I’ll be taking Ireland though.

I’ve got a bad feeling about tomorrow and particularly our back 3. Kearney can be a bit accident prone but has got away with it so far for Ireland. He has a greater chance to be exposed at Full Back. Expect a few high balls on top of him in the first few minutes. Horgan is nowhere near match fit and I dont like the chance of him chasing after Shane Williams. Bowe has been on form this season but it has all been on the right wing. He’s never performed for Ireland on the left wing. I think the back row and half backs will decide this game. My heart still says Ireland but only just. On that basis I’ll go for Wales +4 at 10/11.
The one match Scotland get themselves up for every year regardless of how they’ve been playing is the home calcutta match against England. Was it 2 years ago they had a pre match ceremony that was like a scene out of Braveheart? Frank Hadden had only just taken over from Matt Williams. Jason White & co. squeezed the life out of England. Regardless of how bad they were against Ireland I think Scotland +10 is a cracking shot at 10/11.
Would agree that Italy are more of a 1st half 6 nations team. They usually fade away towards the end. I think their heads will be down after the Wales match and if this match was at home they would come out all guns blazing. I’d say Frances attitude to this game will depend on what happens on Saturday. Depending on results (i.e. Wales beating Ireland) France will know they will have to run up a huge score against the Italians to boost their score difference. I’ll take France -21 at 10/11.
Wales +4 at 10/11
Scotland +10 at 10/11
France -21 at 10/11
10 treble pays 70
I like the look of Ireland minus 7 at 5/4. Minus thirteen at 5/2 looks tempting also but for Ireland to win by fourteen or more might be a bit too much to ask.
I’m going against the grain with this treble for no particular reason:
Ireland -4.0 @ 10 - 11
England -10.0 @ 10 - 11
Italy +21.0 @ 10 - 11
Thought I was onto a good thing till the frogs let me down today.
Didn’t lay off either of my Wales bets so collected on the triple crown on Saturday and thanks to France not hammering Italy I hope to collect on Wales winning the championship next week.

Munster are a smashing price at 11/10 I think. I’ve backed them in a double with Leicester. Might do that ht/ft bet too - looks very possible.

Dan, how does backing a tryscorer each way work?? Never realised you could do that!
Bit late this one (especially now with the try) but L Irish were a smashing price at 9/5 before the start today. Put them in a double with 1/3 Munster and also backed them heavily on their own.
