That’s an impressive looking Samoa squad though. Don’t think they’ve had a warm up game though, which may put England in good stead.

Sorry if this is a really stupid question but i never bet so i'm unsure. But as we are 8/1, does that mean for every £8 you put down you'll make £1 on it. Or the other way round,you'll make £8 back for every £1 you put down. I always get muddled.

8/1 means for every £1 you stake you would win £8 plus your original £1, so a return of £9.

If a selection was 1/8 then in that scenario you would have to stake £8 to win £1.

Lump on England to win at 6/5. The Samoan team might look impressive on paper but their backs won't seem as amazing without Nathan cleary playing alongside them.

GF Outright

Saints 2/1
Wigan 4/1
Leeds 8/1

£10 on saints
£5 on Wigan
£5 on Leeds

Saints win you get £20 + £10 stake back - £10 lost stakes = £20
Wigan Win you get £20 + £5 stake back - £15 lost stakes = £10
Leeds win you get £40 + £5 stake back - £15 lost stakes = £30

Or is my maths wrong?

Lebanon play NZ?

The warm up game last week mate. Lebanon won 38-22

Hope you all made a bit of cash!

My bad, wasn't paying much attention to the warm up games. Wales don't have a good squad, and don't play any matches on home soil. They had a big game all teed up at Wrexham the last time that the WC was hosted over here, with the Aussies in the QF. Sadly, they bombed the group games and the USA played in front of a poor crowd. It would have been rocking had Wales played, and that's the most likely reason there's no games in the principality, this time around. Anyhow, it was pretty quiet in the bar and easy to get a chat with the likes of Andrew Johns and Brad Fittler before the game kicked off.

Thanks for that. So, in essence, a guaranteed ROI of 25% or more if Super League follows the trend of the last 17 years?

England 8/1 with Skybet only 6/1 with Betfred

Correct

With today’s announcement of Drinkwater combined with all the other signings I was intrigued to see if our price changed for the Grand Final but we still at 8/1. But think I will have a little dabble, I mean come on we looking in good shape on paper at least.

My rationale for saving your money is

1. No team has gone from finishing second bottom in the league the preceding season to becoming SL champions the next.
2. No team other than Saints/Wigan/Leeds has won SL in the last 17 years.
