[Natwest 6 Nations] Round 3 : Scotland Vs England 24/02/2018 16:45

[RedruthRFC]

Tell me about it! I budget 10 quid a month to throw bets on and wouldn't bet in months there's no big golf or rugby events and gave myself am extra 10er for the 6n. Only have my Irish slam bet still alive and the margins I've lost by have been frustratingly slim!

I only had a punt because I predicted a dull game and thought that it would make it more interesting for me as a neutral, I would have left it alone otherwise. If I restrict myself to betting when I have a significant difference of opinion with the bookies (e.g. a couple of English trips to Dublin) I do pretty well, but these situations don't happen too often. If I have a bet because I fancy having a bet, I'm pretty sure I'm a loser.

Trying to bring this post vaguely back on topic, does anyone want to make a case for any bets on this match? At 1.4, I thought that England represented a bit of value. The market clearly agreed as it has corrected itself. As it stands, it's a no bet for me. With a gun to my head, I might take one of the larger alternative handicaps on England. Not that I'm saying it's going to be a blowout, just that given certain fragilities in the Scottish side, I think it happens slightly more often than the prices would suggest.

Bet365 has jumped up to -7
Ireland have jumped from -3 to -7 in the same time as well

I've given up betting on rugby after Tigers ****** my accumulator at the death last week

You mean Quins. since they where the ones who carried on playing 5m from their own try line.

Talking on betting My wallet is soooo going to be Rip in the next month with the 6N's and then Cheltenham.

Been trying to think of ways Scotland can win. Even if Scotland win the breakdown (not a given with Barclays form and our small back row), can't see our defence coping even with slow English ball. England's defence with Joseph is very good and will largely contain us, and even if Hughes is unfit we'll lose the gain line battle.

Never realised how big Johnno is, he makes POC look like Stringer when they're sat next to each other

Scotland making the Princess Royal get her feat dirty by not laying out a carpet!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Seen a lot of William Wallace's on social media today,

So I guess we're going to behead/draw & quarter the Scots

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Pathetic clearing out - what the **** were our forwards doing

Farrell creating his first dog leg inside a minute

Didnt realise we had Nige today,

God help us all, he's absolutely useless

 

[TRF_Olyy]

We really really don't like supporting our runners, do we?

 

[TommiG88]

Owned at the breakdown. Getting sick of this.

 

[TheSaffycen]

Every single time a player carries we don't clear them out, ffs

I'm so ******* fed up with the nige brigade.
He just loves the attention

 

[ncurd]

Well Nige isn't messing about on holding on today. We seemed to have noted just see if Scotland get the same treatment.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Robshae not supporting his body weight.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

[TommiG88]

Robshae not supporting his body weight.

Is there any fan who has a clue who still rates him? He's shite.

May reprising his back row role with our most effective clear outs so far
