    Juicy.

    That defies belief to me.

    a) NSW have beat QLD once at Suncorp since 2006.
    b) betting against your own team.

    Assuming that NSW win tonight to keep a series bet alive youd be better off just backing them in both games than betting on the series. They'll be at least $1.80 for game 3 so 2.55x1.80=$4.59. It also gives you the opportunity to shop around bookies for the best odds.

    Dragons H2H
    Warriors line
    Tigers line
    $4.67

    Breaking 2 of my golden rules. Don't bet on Warriors games and don't back the Tigers. Could be a good reason to go the opposite

    Other way around. You want to convert NZD to pounds.

    Pound will recover, in the longer term at least.

    Also think Manly line bet is a no brainer because if the Cows get out that far JT and Co. will get rested and Manly will get back within the line.

    Impossible to say mate - no-one actually knows the answer to that question.

    I'm not sure of your situation mate, but my wife and I split time between NZ and the States and my strategy with $ and exchange rates is to play the long term trends and change money across when those trends are in the right place. It's much easier to play the long term game than it is to try an pick the wild fluctuations like Brexit has caused.

    Again, I've not been following Brexit carefully but it has created a heap of uncertainty and that is the dreaded word when it comes to markets. I'd take a step back from it if I were you and figure out a longer term strategy.

    So far so good. Tigers are in from 12.5+ to 9.5+ and I'm in at 12.5+. If it gets up, I'm going double or nothing on the Manly line.

    Cheers for the info lads.

    Thinking of a new betting game haha I like games. I think Cowboys will win tomorrow so I'm gonna chuck 3 quid on differing margins (6-10, 11-15, 21-25) odds are around 8/1 for each.

    And then keep splitting the pot and see how it goes.

    Doomed to fail I know but could be a bit of fun and who knows what will happen

    Not sure if sarcastic there Rev. First bet was succesful, saw someone say it could be close so went with the Cowboys to win 1-5 as one of my spreads. 8 quid on the next one.

    Should start a thread ala boozey

    I just saw an article about the guy ranked 700+ in the world that just won his 1st round match at Wimbledon.

    What was he playing I wonder?

    Multi that with Iceland making the top 8 2 weeks ago and you would have done ok I reckon.

    I put on a multi with a ridiculous amount of legs which surprisingly enough didn't get up.
