    something really smells about the Melbourne v Bendigo match in the WNBL last night. Melbourne went in on a four game skid and with news breaking early in the week that their captain and leading scorer Tess Madgen would be out with an ankle injury. 

    Yet when markets went up for the game yesterday, Melbourne was hammered all day from their opening line of  +4 all the way to +1 

    For an offensively-challenged team like the Boomers to shorten so dramatically despite their leading scorer being scratched and playing a team they'd had very little joy against over the last few years. 

    Ranks fairly high on the WTF meter for me.

    Jive I am glad you mentioned it because I thought it was just me. When the lines initially opened with Sportsbet, I saw +4 Boomers. I didn't know that Madgen was out until you mentioned last night which made me stay away because she is their best player. And with Spirit's starting 5 at least, you would think they could have kept it close or at least won the game as well as they were struggling last weekend. Doesn't make sense. Not touching the Rangers/Spirit game because of that shadyness. All my numbers and stats and situations lean towards the Rangers getting a win today but I am not touching it.  Good observation Jive. It wouldn't be too hard to rig a game in the WNBL thats for sure.

Last time these 2 teams played in Townsville, the 1H score was 75 exactly and that was because Fire hit 55-20. Yep, that was the HT score. That was without Montgomery though for the Caps and I think we get a scoreline of around 47-34 Fire. Cannot take the massive -17 line for a road fav because the Capitals have been horrendous this year so will  just play this game but I do expect a blowout win for the Fire. Fire may also rest players 2H if the game is a blowout by HT as they played 2 nights ago so will play the 1H over instead of FG over.. 

    BOL 

    Wasn't too far off the prediction either.. Haha

    Lets get them Freddie.. Good match-ups across the court. Majok Majok hasn't really had a 7 footer in front of him this year, hope Pledger does well on the boards against Majok Majok for some 2nd chance points as well..

    5-1 weekend.. Do I just be happy with that weekend or do I go with another play? Hmmmm.. 

    Not a bad effort for the weekend mate. I'm leaning Perth here but I might leave it as they've been a little up and down at home recently

    Going to stay away the last game.. Lean the under but who knows what is going to happen. Think Cairns will bring their D for this game but they have been so inconsistent. Check them out this year after a win. They get smashed the next game. Possible letdown after beating Melbourne last weekend and then traveling to Perth for a Wildcats team who now have a very good chance of getting within 1 game of Melbourne after their defeat today.. 

    NBL: 17-11
    WNBL: 10-9


    Talk to you guys on Wednesday for Round #8.
