2014: 59-47 (+21.5)

2015: 56-45 (+14.67)

Rugby league roulette is back.

Always hit and miss early when trying to get a read on teams.

Be interesting to see how the referee 'bunker' goes.

Thursday night...

Brisbane Broncos at Parramatta Eels

The play...

Broncos $1.55 (3 to win 1.65)

Not gonna fcuk with the spread.

Happy to take the more settled halves to grab the SU win first up.

Doncs' defense gonna be epic this year.

No trap my friend.

However emkee I admire your balls to be smashing the first game with a 3 unit play.

Good luck this season, and may you prosper again.

only think its a trap because 1.65 on a heavy fav usually means coinflip. when it gets hammered down to say 1.50, thats a lot of $ on a coin flip.... you know how these things go.

that being said making square bets on aussie sports isnt as bad as on american sports.

Spread and ML dipped due to the possibility that Foran may not play, nothing to do with the squares loading up.

THIS --->that being said making square bets on aussie sports isnt as bad as on american sports.

Very well-stated. Yes. Unless you don't wager on American sports then this doesn't affect you much. One of the hardest things that I had to adjust to when I started wagered on SH/Aussie sport about 15 years ago. Really disorientating. Seems like the oddsmakers have different jukes depending on the continent.
