ITM Cup Week 4

YTD: 15-7

Well i like all phat.  It may be not same odds bet365.  

Japan +13.5.  Live

Sorry phat its wrong place. 

All good T2, yea some lines like Tasman I'm willing to take for more points

Like Makos -7.5 as well Wellington lions -14.5 easy my welly boys turn up this year!!! Auckland -3.5 seems pretty good too. I would leave the counties out not sure which Naki team going to turn up as well as counties

TAB NZ Auckland line dropped to -1.5

The TAB has the worst odds on the planet, you'd have to be high to bet with those greedy dbags.

Taking for Wednesday game

Limits not so high with some of the lesser rugby games - Shute Shield, NRC, ITM.

Taranaki -4.5 @1.85 

Leaning Cantab -13.5, team just looks too good but weather shows some rain around then so may just wait til tomorrow

Fair enough - my experience is with NSW TAB. For example recent Shute Shield playoffs I had a bet of I think it was $800 halved until the price was adjusted down 10 cents.  

Taking early

You were right about Canterbury, they're crushing Manawatu.  Thought it might be too many points on the road but that Canterbury team are ridiculous, didn't they win the National Championship for like a decade straight?

*every year for a decade straight

its good for gamblers buddy.  one way or other.   the day anything can happen.    thats why its called gambling.  

Yea didn't play Cantab though just because of the garbage weather. Waiting for Bet365 to release the rest of the lines! 

Tasman -12 (1.952) on Pinnacle, total 57.

I laid 8.5 earlier.  It's gonna be pretty cold in Dunedin tonight, some rain before kick off, that total seems a little high.

Indoor stadium Vegas, if it was really wet would probably lay points on otago

There's been a lot of mention about the weather but in fairness the games I've seen in bad conditions have been nothing but high scoring

That's right Phat, forgot Otago has NZ's only dome stadium.

I agree PeeKay, sometimes the cold weather can suit these NZ teams, seems like they want to run more to keep warm lol.

From what I've seen, the ITM cup is way more entertaining rugby than Super Rugby.  NZ rugby was better off when it just had it's national competition, Super rugby has only helped SA and especially Australia develop their game but has destroyed the provincial competition in NZ, these games would play to full houses back in the day, now not so much.
