Gold, just wondering how u came up with a 2 point difference in the ratings for the cowboys and sharks????????????????????????????????????

btw what since starting that goldmemeber what is the sucess rate so far

Ive just had a scroll through rd 5 odds.

Pretty good odds this round. Penrith/storm +2.5
dragons/manly +4.5

Fan, this only my ratings for players,as a guide only, and can vary a little from one week to the next,
missed round 1
R2 4/7
R3 3/7
R4 2/7

I also do my own prices when the teams come out, which i fare a lot better[but not always back] for instance last week:
had the panthers @ $1.60, they opened up at $1.47- no bet
the storm @ $1.85 -they opened up at $1.67 unders for me- no bet
raiders @ $1.75 -opened up at $1.85 out to $2 - didnt back them [stupid]
cowboys @ $1.10 opened up at $1.22 -specials - unloaded on them

souths @ $1.70 [?] opened up at $3.15 didnt bet sunday
sharks at @ $2.05 - opened up at $2.15 "" "
rooster @$1.40- opened up at $1.22 [stupid price] " "

i had the raiders rated on top but picked the dragons and also rated the bulldogs on top but picked the sharks in the tipping comp, so i dont always follow them., there just a guide for me.

Searay,i factor in their recent form as well,probably where the cowboys were down a little from the sharks is the 2 halves, Kimmorely/Dykes would HAVE to rate higher than the [without Shepard] Myles/Thurston duo.

Surely your joking, Thurston is the form player of the comp, dykes is the worst buy of the season and if any of the sharks forwards get within 5 of each cowboy forward, then u have to reassess your rating formula,..........Just my opinion......Cheers.

Have u seen the prices for this week, gee theres value everywhere. I want to know who opens up the prices, do they know anything?


Saints to start favourite against the unbeaten manly.....PLEASE, They havent won yet!!!

The sharks $1.60 , the cowboys 2.20, what tha?????????

The panthers my goodness,. giving the storm start, what planet is that on?
The unbeaten raiders getting 4.5 from the woeful chooks, and its down at canberra......PLEASE.

Might well be a position vacant at the TAB next week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I see the early money this week is for the warriors [$76,500]and the storm +2.5.
Interestingly the warriors have not won in NZ outside Ericsson stadium,1 draw and 4 losses from 5 games at West Pac Trust stadium, and 0/2 at Jade Stadium [this weeks venue] losing in R14 last year to the W/Tigers 50-4 !
[also to the Balmain tigers 34-22, back in 96']. The Warriors have not won 2 straight since the finals in 2003, and their fav's for this game - go figure ?

Searay,

Notice those first 3 ones. Home teams. That's the main reason that St Geo, Sharks and Penrith are favs. Not saying that Manly, NQ and Melb won't win, but 6 home teams out of 7 won last week. It's a powerful factor. As for the Roosters, they obviously think a return to form is due.
