This competition is far from over though with all three games this week capable of going either way. This is probably the toughest week for the predictions so far.

i havent checked but even with the two favourites - he is looking at a 60/1 or so on that one!!

Nah, 27/1

Unless you didnt just do results and said Ireland + 10 and Scotland + 12

In which case it would be 76.5/1

thats mental because you can get 41/1 on an italy-england draw- i know multiples(i take it you must be on betfair) go shorter but thats ridiculas if you think about it

3.75

But also an earlier bet on them to win the tournament at 3.5

And France to win at 2.5 (just in case Wink

)

76.5 decimal sorry

It was on William Hill

England v Italy has the worst odd on the draw.

Ireland v France draw is quite tempting.

Yeah, I thought they would lose in Ireland but win in Twicker and then have a shot at the tournament vs France.

Now a GS is on the cards.

(I had a double on Scotland and Wales to win last weekend - If Scotland had won like they should have, it would have made me a fair bit)

I didn't do well last weekend - Hopefully Italy will win this weekend and recoup me loses.

just checked the multiple on betfair- decimal 42.8 on the triple, however you can get 42 decimal on just the england draw(the multiple odd is trading at 21)

worth checking these things- because it would be ridicluas to take the multiple over the single in that case!!

I have Italy to win anyway Wink

by mystiroakey Tue 07 Feb 2012, 10:46 pm

i take it on william hill they dont shorten any odds- they stay the same multiple or single. so its all good on there.

on betfair multiple odds are covered by betfair themselves(whereas on singles its mostly other punters)

by mystiroakey Tue 07 Feb 2012, 10:50 pm

"I have Italy to win anyway Wink

"

gonna need you luck there boyo Smile

personally i am not betting on the 6n's-

been losing to much on football multiples, cant wait for the golf season to properly start- thats where i make a few quid!

I am slightly confident of a decent win to be honest. Would have had a different view if you guys didnt have so many top players out.

Forgot to bring this one to the forefront of debate Billy...!

Week 2

France 28 - 25 Ireland

Italy 18 - 6 England

Wales 42 - 28 Scotland

I think it is interesting the way that the breakdown was being refereed last weekend with such alacrity.

by Looseheaded Wed 08 Feb 2012, 1:05 am

Week 2

France 27 - 19 Ireland

Wales 32 - 16 Scotland

England 12 - 20 Italy

Taking risks makes the game more enjoyable on and off the pitch Wink

besides I NEARLY won 150 quid from a 3 quid bet for putting money on a tied series with the Lions in SA, IF IT WEREN'T FOR ROG! grrrrrr!

put your money on it for sure - you are offered favorable odds at the bookies. however you are not offered odds in this predictor tourny!! better to just go fo 11-10 or 10-11 in this case. But its all abit of fun right. I would say good luck, fortune could favour the brave. However i want england to win so your not getting any good luckwish from me on this one Smile

It was a simple prediction and a fairly balanced one i thought. Made before the Wales team was announced thus did not know that players like Priestland and Roberts would play... Why does it now have to be brought to the forfront?

by RubyGuby Wed 08 Feb 2012, 9:33 am

Don't bite Billy your posts are always reasoned and logic suggested a decent Irish win - unfortunately Irish rugby and logic have little in common and Wales played well in a scintillating spectacle. thumbsup

by eirebilly Wed 08 Feb 2012, 9:37 am

Just took me by suprise Ruby, going on what i knew last week i suspected a decent win based on the fact that it was reported that many Welsh players would be missing. I was also clear in saying that if Wales had a full, or close to full, compliment of players then i expected it to be a very close game and that i could not pick a winner.

Still, i dont mind, even though Ireland lost, as that was a brilliant match to watch. Real edge of the seat rugby.

by Peter Seabiscuit Wheeler Wed 08 Feb 2012, 10:18 am

Right

Italy 14 England 19
Wales 27 Scotland 14 ( yes a try, im crazy i know!)
France 21 Ireland 12 (8 missed kicks by Sexton, ROG comes on and puts the restart stright into the stands)

by beshocked Wed 08 Feb 2012, 10:22 am

Week 2

Italy 16-26 England

Wales 26-18 Scotland

France 25-17 Ireland

by Bellevue Wed 08 Feb 2012, 3:15 pm

Ok I think it will be quite an interesting weekend I see Italy giving England a lesson however not sure they can win, France looked a little off colour in patches last week and Ireland are sore from the tight game on Sunday could go either way Wales should be comfortable at home but Scotland did give us a scare 2 years ago !!

Italy 18 England 21

France 25 Ireland 23

Wales 28 Scotland 15

by Duty281 Wed 08 Feb 2012, 3:43 pm

by **NeilyBroon** Wed 08 Feb 2012, 10:12 pm

the sad thing is that in other games the odds on not scoring tries would be lower than the odds of scoring tries. Scotland truly are unique haha

by mr-bryns-attitude Wed 08 Feb 2012, 10:22 pm

keep the faith nb,dan parks is now yesterdays news,a chink of light at the end of that long tunnel already.

by overlordofthewest Wed 08 Feb 2012, 10:42 pm

Italy 19 - 18 England
France 25 - 15 Ireland

Hopefully better games this Saturday than last Saturday, followed by a belter on Sunday again Yahoo
