Hate to throw a cat among the pigeons but Fred bet £450 at 1/3 on Gina NOT TO WIN Big Brother and people barely batted an eyelid. Nobody even seemed to have a strong view either way.

Laid £150 at 3/1

Got a feeling that might be the same thing.

I just can't quite picture you glued to the telly watching every episode of BB Neil.

Rugby League - Bet Suggestion

One for Hector to consider - as the bet includes Hull KR versus Wigan.

Tonight Wigan host Hull KR, and there's zero chance that there'll be a one-sided demolition that Wigan dished out earlier in the season at Craven Park - ending in a score of 6-84.

I still expect a strong(ish) Wigan side to win, but the question is how close will it be?


Wigan Warriors 19 Man Squad
Joe Burgess, Josh Charnley, Dom Crosby, Ben Flower, Anthony Gelling, Darrell Goulding, Blake Green, Harrison Hansen, Jack Hughes, Epalahame Lauaki, Michael McIlorum, Lee Mossop, Sean O'Loughlin, Sam Powell, Matty Smith, Scott Taylor, Logan Tomkins, Sam Tomkins, Chris Tuson.

Hull KR 19 man squad
Liam Salter, Jason Netherton, Adam Walker, Sean Gleeson, Evarn Tuimavave, Jordan Cox, Con Mika, Travis Burns, Keal Carlile, Rich Beaumont, Craig Hall, Mickey Paea, David Hodgson, Rhys Lovegrove, Michael Dobson, Lincoln Withers, Greg Eden, Tyla Hepi, Josh Hodgson.


No Pat Richards in the Wigan squad, and no Liam Farrell - both being rested (and quite rightly).  This does mean that there's no recognised goal-kicker in the side, and so these duties will fall to Charnley, Smith or Sam Tomkins.  None of them are exactly prolific at goal-kicking, and this could restrict the points tally - even if Wigan are dominant and scoring tries.  Rovers have Dobson in their side, who is pivotal to them doing well, and also will score points.

The odds are evens for Hull KR +20, and 2/1 for Hull KR +12 points.  The evens bet at +20 seems like a more sensible bet?  Wigan, like Warrington, are 'flat-track bullies' and will put up a cricket score against sides that are poor.  But against a decent side, they tend to struggle a bit and they usually end up close affairs. 

Hull KR have won 5 out of their last 6 matches, and were on a good run of form until they lost 34-6 at Warrington.  It was 12-6 at half-time, but then Hull KR fell to pieces and were given a lesson by Warrington. 
Wigan on the other hand have seen a dip in form (with absences of key players such as O'Loughlin and Sam Tomkins, who are both back in the side and play tonight) in the league, and the games they've won recently have been very close - and were lucky to come away with the points against Bradford.

Wigan need to win their remaining games in the league to be assured of top spot (the match next week against Huddersfield being crucial, obviously) and also have the small distraction of the Challenge Cup final on the 24th.  So the players will be keen to shine before then, but Wane will also be looking to keep his players out of trouble and if Wigan are going well in the game I think we'll see them step off the gas a little rather than try to drill Rovers into the ground.

Thoughts on the evens bet for Rovers to shade it with a 20pt start?

Sam Tomkins NOT playing, late withdrawal.

Very temporarily. He could ruin the place inside a week.

Hopefully he will note the change in our Simon Katich position today.

I await his report with trepidation.

Think there is a good bet in the Swedish League tomorrow.  Kalmar are a decent team still vaguely in the hunt for the European places.  They are a solid home team that play to their form level.  Tomorrow they play Syrianska who are bottom and, frankly, pretty awful.  They also seem to play to their level in so far as they they tend to have a chance of a result against the poor teams but they lose against the decent teams.  They have lost 8/11 with the three draws versus bottom 6 teams  The last three times these two teams have played Kalmar have won 2-0 and 3-0 at home and 3-0 at Syrianska earlier this season.  On the basis of that form Kalmar look a little underpriced to me but the kicker is Syrianskas injury list.  They are going to be without Elia, Sleyman and Demirtas who have formed the backbone of their back four this year and their top scorer (albeit with only 3 goals) and apparently best player Touma is also out.  There are also doubts about Felic and Sow their only two strikers that have scored this year.

I think the handicap is the way to go with Pinnacle and -1 1.97 seems great value to me.  Recommend a nifty.

Thanks Stu.

Still don't have a Pinnacle account. The game is on Oddschecker, and all the usual markets are there - can we take a different route?

Everyone else is worse and whilst I think it is value how about you just have it with me because I hate betting below best and I will just top up with Pinny.

Very kind, thank you, booked.

£50, yes?

Settle up before, or after? Don't mind either way.
