Re: Betting on the World Cup
I think Wales for a semi place at 20/1 looks brilliant too (assuming that Semi is 1/4 odds) - even 80/1 on Wales is not too unbelievable.
Just got this through from Paddy Power (I am going to be inundated with their offers now that I joined up as an affiliate!)

All Group Matches
Fri 9th September - Sun 2nd October ITV/RTE/Setanta
Money-Back Special
If a Number 11 scores the first try in any of the Rugby World Cup group matches Paddy Power will refund all losing try scorer bets on that match.
Re: Betting on the World Cup
What me and a few friends are doing is starting with £1 and betting on one facet of every match at the World Cup and accumulating upwards. If you get to the final, you have to put all the money on one team and could end up with a hefty prize, if you don't you've only lost a pound!

I would rather give the bookies their money than this happen
Re: Betting on the World Cup
A few bets I really like:
Top Tryscorer from a 6 Nations Team - Vincent Clerc 14/1
Wales to beat South Africa 6/1
Top Overall Tryscorer - Digby Ioane 12/1
England to finish second in their pool - 13/5
Top Points Scorer - James O'Connor 6/1
QF to be Eng v Fra, NZ v Sco, Aus v Wal, SA v Ire 11/2
All worth a €5 bet IMO.

thats a cracking bet!
Re: Betting on the World Cup
Can someone explain to me how Wales are 80/1 to win it and Ireland 40/1?
Did no-one watch the warm up games?
Surely it should be the other way around?

It's partly to do with Wales having a tougher pool I guess. Plus maybe the bookies think Irish punters are more optimistic ...

Re: Betting on the World Cup
Silly boy - you could have got 80/1 (see above!)
If anyone is having a flutter, please do so through the links above - for new customers you will get introductory offers such as a matching of the bet (ie you place £10, they give you a free £10 bet too - effectively doubles the odds for you)

Re: Betting on the World Cup
Adam,
Put it on a while back and tbh was the longest odds I had seen with most at the time offering 50/1.
If it comes in I will love it but am prepared to lose a tenner. I usually cover my bets with 1st, last, anytime try scorer etc.
best I have had in recent times was tenner on Wales for ths Slam in 05 40/1 which covered a few weekends lol.

Re: Betting on the World Cup
I will be honest that I cant believe that Wales are 80/1
The odds dont lie but they have a good run of form and are looking confident. They are certainly in with a better shot than Ireland are who are 40/1 (and dare I say England too)

Re: Betting on the World Cup
Will you be putting an e/w bet on Wales then? Outright might be asking a bit much, but something like 40/1 to reach the final would be great value.
Re: Betting on the World Cup
Bet of the tournament. Samoa 9/2 to qualify from their group. Wales are a staggering 1/7 to qualify. Surely the Samoa v Wales game will be the crunch game in the group. The games a sell-out and will be 3/4 Samoan fans.
Wales 80/1. I wouldn't have a penny if they were 800/1.

Re: Betting on the World Cup
As you are top of the pro12 group - you might be the man in form with regards to predictions!
Wales will qualify - why does everyone assume that SA will qualify AND walk through Samoa?

Re: Betting on the World Cup
SA v Samoa will be a very interesting game, but SA will beat Wales and let's hope we don't have many injuries going into Samoa game.
I think it's a close call between Wales and Samoa for 2nd place and the odds seem way off. I can't see anybody putting a penny on Wales at 1/7 to qualify.
There are always a few shocks in every WC. After some poor results, Fiji are being written off, but they surprise again?

Re: Betting on the World Cup
The handicap bets have been reaping reward for me, mainly i've gone with paddy power.
I bet on USA to beat Ireland with a 30 pt headstart.
Wales to beat Sa with a 15 pt headstart
Argentina had a 11 pt headstart
Italy had a 30 pt win
Next up i have Georgia with a 21 pt headstart on scotland
Namibia with a 31 pt headstart are looking good
France with a 17 pt headstart looks good value too (got its usual risks with french teams)
I'll be keeping an eye on japans headstart v ABs
I'll be backing Fiji v Sa assuming they get a 20+ headstart
Here's to the minnows keeping it up in the next few rounds!

I've turned my £1 into £2.73! Tentative opening weekend to see how all the minnows are looking, looking to get a bit more adventurous as the competition goes on. For the midweek games I've gone for:
Samoa -24 (Vs Namibia)
Tonga/Tonga HT/FT (Vs Canada)
Georgia +27 (Vs Scotland)
Would return £9.49. Then the aim would probably be to triple that on an 8 game weekend.

Re: Betting on the World Cup
after the thumping of Fiji and the way the draw has opened up to let Wales face first ireland and then potentially Eng/ France (ie no SH team), I really wish I had bet on Wales to be a finalist.
Re: Betting on the World Cup
Before the World Cup Ireland were 10/1 to reach the final.
They then lost all the warm up games, and Aus (who were in the group won the tri nations) the odds must have been then 15/1 to reach the final,
I decided not to bet on it then as didn't see Ireland betting Aus to get easy side of Draw, with the form both teams were in then
Wish I had now but thats benefits of hindsight
