Eels vs Sea Eagles

I am new to rugby but I thought I would give it a try. I have looked into the Eels/Sea Eagles match, and came up with a bet.
Both of these teams lost the first game of the season.
Both teams had a major injury in the opening game.
The Eels kept it close in the opening match against St George.
I think The Eels win this by 8-13
Thus making my bet-

Eels ML -250
(only playing ML till I get the hang of it)
I may also put 1U on the -8.5
Comments and any insight is always welcome
*I hate this much juice, but I don't have that good of a feeling for the game yet.
BOL to everyone

This is not a competition to be laying that much juice. Just some advice, BOL

ty rod, should I have given up the 8.5? I cant buy the hook. And I hate losing by .5. Again TY for your advice

My comment was a general one not to this particular game. I haven't had a chance to look at it as yet

Plodders came back with a lucky victory
