Game 57 Result :- Souths +6.5 Handicap 1st Half : 1.5 unit @ 1.92 = -1.5 Under 41.5 Match Points : 1.5 unit @ 1.93 = +1.395 Souths Try 1st Scoring Play : 1 unit @ 4.00 = -1 Brisbane -29.5 Match Handicap : 1 unit @ 6.25 = -1 Game 57 Total = -2.105 A bit better effort from Souths but still not good enough. They faded late in each half of football which is consistent with a team that is fatigued from being flogged at training by an increasingly desperate coach.

I normally don't take short odds but this one should have been a lock. Game 59 Result :- Tigers +7.5 Match Handicap : 2 units @ 1.90 = -2 Joseph Leilua To Score A Try : 1.5 unit @ 2.75 = +2.625 Josh Papalli To Score A Try : 1.5 unit @ 3.00 = -1.5 Canberra / Tigers Halftime / Fulltime Double : 0.5 unit @ 10.50 = -0.5 Game 59 Total = -1.375 units Lots of Canberra tries. Both starting props and the *other* 2nd rower score....but not Papalli. Leilua scores twice. Game 60 Result :- Parramatta Under 14.5 Match Points : 2 units @ 1.87 = -2 Cowboys -8.5 Match Handicap : 2 units @ 1.93 = +1.86 Cowboys Penalty 1st Scoring Play : 0.5 unit @ 7.50 = -0.5 Kyle Feldt 1st Tryscorer : 0.5 unit @ 10.00 = -0.5 Kyle Feldt 1st Tryscorer 2nd Half : 0.5 unit @ 10.00 -0.5 Game 60 Total = -1.64 units Good game, a lot closer than the final score suggests. Not a good day for me tho.
Game 61 Result :- Over 38.5 Match Points : 5 units @ 2.00 = -5 Game 61 Total = -5 units This was a great bet on 2 teams who played open attacking footy in great conditions. I am absolutely gutted to miss it by half a point. FOUR shots on goal were missed!!

Game 62 Result :- Manly Under 23.5 Match Points : 2 units @ 2.05 = -2 Newcastle Win Match : 1.5 units @ 3.00 = -1.5 Halftime OR Fulltime Draw : 0.5 unit @ 10.00 = -0.5 Game 62 Total = -4 units Another ordinary game. Newcastle started well but faded. Game 63 Result :- Under 36 Match Points : 2 units @ 1.95 = -2 Tribet - Either Team 0-6 : 1 unit @ 2.90 = +1.9 Halftime OR Fulltime Draw : 0.5 unit @ 9.00 = -0.5 Shaun Kenny-Dowall 1st Tryscorer : 0.5 unit @ 10.00 = -0.5 Game 63 Total = -1.1 units Wasn't far off here, but enough to make it another loss.
Round 8 Summary :- Brisbane vs Souths = -2.105 Bulldogs vs Titans = -4 Canberra vs Tigers = -1.375 Cowboys vs Parramatta = -1.64 Sharks vs Penrith = -5 Newcastle vs Manly = -4 Dragons vs Roosters = -1.1 Melbourne vs Warriors = +0 NRL Round 8 Total = -19.22 units Total Units Bet = 33.0 Return On Investment (ROI) = -58.2% Bets Won / Placed = 4/24 Strike Rate (SR) = 16.7% I backed up my first losing week for the year with the worst losing week I've had since I started keeping records....and that's been a while! I am kicking myself a bit because I acknowledged last week that I was stretching my early season strategies a bit too far and clearly I have paid severely for it this week. I am still a bit surprised because we haven't really gotten into the Origin Phase of the competition yet, but clearly I need to go back to the drawing board and figure out whats going wrong. As it turns out it's the sensible time for me to pull up stumps. Good luck with your punting people and thanks for following the thread.

Hi BuggedOut. Do you follow "The Mole" on twitter? He has picked the last two games try scorers on twitter. Talk about Jerry Maguire ! Missed out on this Round BuggedOut. Have to wait till the next round ! Come On Guys, No body else contributing to this thread. Special thanks to BuggedOut for these posts. TP&CS.
No help this year at all,,70000 in tipping competition... Current position 53000...Has a bad period when I lost several picks by golden point or a late penalty or try. A few years ago I came 7th...In the closing rounds I had to pick a few long shot in an effort to pull in the leader...I tell you thats mighty hard to do. Regards Errol 43
Futures Update I just cashed out my futures bet on the Melbourne Storm. Cooper Cronk has a dodgy ankle and with Origin period starting this week the risk of a major injury to another key player is significant. Origin period has typically been difficult for the Melbourne Storm. So my futures bet on Melbourne now results as :- Melbourne Storm to Make The Top 4 : 20 units @ 3.25 (CASHED OUT @ 1.32) = +29.27 units
