Well here we go ! First Super 12 bets of season, I'll be happy to get anywhere near last seasons success rate, but my ratings are up + ready to go so here goes!
(bets are on a 1 to 5pt scale as usual)
3pts Blues (-10) V.Chandler - I suppose it's a lot of points to give away when there are 2 supposed top drawer teams in action ( + more worryingly, a bad weather forecast) but the form of the 2 sides this year just doesn't compare. The Blues have won away at the Waratahs and Chiefs (both no pushovers) and hammered the Crusaders
and Reds at home. Compare this with the Brumbies, with wins at the Reds and against 2 S.African teams at home, plus 2 away losses in S.Africa. Ok they bounced back against the Bulls, but if that result was last season no one would've batted an eyelid. Blues look comfortably the best outfit this year + I'll pay the 10pt start to get with them
2pts Waratahs (-9) v Reds Sporting Odds - will excuse NSWs bad day at the office last week to take on the Reds who have been the Leagues most disappointing team so far. Admittedly they've not had any easy games, but I still had the 'cap at +16.
1pt Crusaders (scr) v Highlanders Coral - wasn't going to play this one (had it as Crus -2) but the Highlanders have some injury problems so I'll risk a point.
For what it's worth I had the other 2 games as 'Canes by 7 and Cats by 6.
Good luck to all
