I can't for the life of me see how the Raiders are favorites for this game. They have won only 1 form 7 so far. They have a points differential of about -40. The tigers have won 3 out of 7 and have a points differential of -5. They played each other in round 3 (5 weeks ago) and the Tigers won by 10. O/K this game is being played in Canberra but still. Tigers are $2.00 for the win. Might be worth a $50

They whipped them good. Poor Raiders. They are officially the easybeats of the comp.......along with the Sharks. Don't know how the Sharks beat the Dragons the other week.

I don't normally bet on the footy but it was too good to pass up. The Raiders where favorites but I had the Tigers as a sure thing. Turned a $50 into a $100 so i'm happy.

Can't explain how the Sharks beat the Dragons and followed up with a big win against the Panthers the next week. That was rounds 2 and three but have not won a game since.

Well done! Doubling your money is good value. Unfortunately for me I tipped the Raiders.....the only game I didn't get right.

You could always bet online with Sporting Bet. Follow the ad links from this page in future. :wink:

I have an account with Sporting Bet as I am also in their tipping comp but haven't put any money into the account. Too tempting to be able to have a bet on virtually anything at anytime. This way if I have to physically leave the house to place a bet I can at least have some time to have second thoughts. Broncos are at attractive odds this week. Might see who is out after Fridays games before I reinvest last weeks winnings.

Australia vs New Zealand is an international run by the ARL. Not part of the NRL season just as State of Origin is not included in the tipping competition.

I hate these rounds. Hard to tell how having players out playing rep footy will affect the results. I'm hoping the Broncos will still get over the line despite the long odds.

I thought I was still in with a chance with less than 5 mins to go. That will teach me to get greedy I should have only put in the $50 profit from last week. Now......... what's the odds in todays games? :)
