I think it's great Shark. We can all learn from each other. Go for it

go for it SuperShark, nothing wrong with having some discipline by keeping track of your bets and sticking to a staking strategy, can only help.

I have never been able to alter my bet bet size according to how strongly I feel about a game. Or rather I have not been able to do it successfully. My records show that I win 57% of my rugga bets ( last 5 years) My best tournament was the 2008 Curriecup with a 69% win rate. Isolating the bets where I felt "very strongly" about the outcome, the strike rate DROPS to 60% and the games that I felt only "mildly positive" about gives an astonishing strike rate of 74%!  Must be doing something wrong somewhere. Anyway each to his own. My strategy is to punt 5% of my bankroll regardless of how strongly I feel about a particular game. If I make a handicap +9 and a bookie offers +16 I get on. It makes so much sense to wager more when you feel stronger about a game but I have not been able to crack that code. Case in point: If you where to examine all my posts where I tipped a particular team ,I doubt the success rate would top 30% (which is apalling for an essentially 50 - 50 game). These "tips" were all on games where I felt particularly strong about the outcome! Hence my reluctance to post said "strong felings" !!. Anyway I salute your quest Shark. Roll on RUGGA SEASON !!!!

Just had a look at 2012 scoring averages and Maggert ranks 2nd with an average of 68.08 whereas his playing partner for the day Robert Garrigus averages 69.50.

Maggert is 12/10 at sportsbet and BetX and I have taken 2 units on it.

Thanks BG Also really liked JB's post.

I really like over 4.5 sixes for tomorrows 3rd ODI in the Commonwealth bank series.

Aus hit 5 sixes against the Indian attack in the 1st ODI, the game was also rain affected and only 32 overs were bowled in each innings.

If Warner, Wade or D Hussey get going they should cover the 4.5 sixes quoted, thats without taking the Sri Lankan innings into account.

Gone 6 units with sportingbet at 5/6

Auz making hard work of things here! Too many starts without players kicking on! At one stage looked like the 5 sixes would be accomplished this innings, just 2 more needed and we are still firm favourites Id say but one more in this Auzzie innings would be good! I have just taken Auz for the win at 6-5. Think their bowling will be spot on and Lankans will struggle with this bounce!

Even average bowlers in my opinion like Matthews have been tough to play on this deck! Think the auzzies will have them 40-3!

I Agree aussies innings hasn't been great but one more 6 this innings will do nicely

Stark is a top quality bowler and should have the Lankens in trouble early

Gone for 4 units on Aus win at the Half way stage @ 7/10 with Voltbet

Wicket is slow and Stark is a machine

Yes Chandimal is the wicket we need! He is a grinder and I am very doubtful he will hit a 6 while at the crease! I think Dilshan will have a go at Doherty in the next few overs so will be interesting to see!

Wrong batsmen got out for the 6's punt

Keeps Aussies well in it though. This is going to the wire I feel

Unfortunately Sri Lanka only managed 1 six . So close yet so far.
The Aus win managed to pull me back a bit (although still ended 3 units down)

So far out of my bets that have resulted i'm looking down a few units.

-2 Units on Maggert's 1st round. (ended even and Garrigus -2)
-6 Units on Total 6's in Aus vs Sri (needed 5 and only got 4)
+3 Units on Aus beating Sri.

So, so far im 5 units down (1% of Bankroll)

A great weekend of sport ahead to improve on this

Southend bet was completely wrong, realised that I am going to stick to football leagues that I am aware of even if the stats back up the other league bets.

Luckily though I followed a few punters in  on the St. Helens -22.5 with 5 units.

As well as Adding a 5 unit Wales outright punt @ 2/1 with Volt to my existing +5.5 position (had a really good feeling about this game) and Wales ended up 14-12 winners.

Fiji Let a lot of us down( others not so much, Fearless + Tilting, well done fellas), need my other 7's punts to come through to make it a good nights work.

But BOY do I love staying up and watching sevens WOW what fun

Stayed up last night for all of the games (Bar the last 2 because I fell asleep)

But I ended the night 37 units up on all my 7's punts so just over 7% of my bankroll

Was a great night.

I've added a double bet for the 6 nations for the weekend.

I have no clue which way to go for the Eng vs Ita game so I have left it, but i've got a Scotland +16.5 and Ireland + 13.5 Double with Sportsbet @ just over 11/10. 4 units in.

Also jumped on Tuks - 19 against TUT. I know the game is only monday but I am not sure this price will last to long.

6 units with Sportingbet @ 5/6

Hi all.

This weekend was action packed and didn't even get close to all my bets down onto the forum.

7's was a struggle but backing Canada (shot RB) and Kenya put me into profit.

I backed over 4.5 sixes again in the cricket (Aus India) and it came through with 3 balls to spare. Dhonis monster 112m hit was beautiful to watch

Arron Baddeleys top 5 finish helped a lot as well.

Ended the week 100 units up (give or take a few haven't worked spreadsheet out 100% yet) which is a 20% improvement in the bankroll. I have withdrawn all winnings from my accounts, and have to deposit into sportingbet (damn in play markets, get me everytime!!) . But the 100 units up is including my loss in sporting so a very good 1st week .

Will try to post all of my picks in future this weekend was just so action packed it made it difficult.

Today I'm on:

Maties -9.5 with volt and -10.5 with sporting
Tuks -19.5 with sporting and -21.5 with Sportsbet.

If the TUKS play comes off I am considering backing UCT to beat UJ.

They were so poor last week that I reckon their coach gave them what for and I'm sure being current champions they will bounce back strong.

UJ also werent that impressive so game could be 50/50.

But I will only back it If my big punt for TUKS - 19 comes in

Gone for over 260.5 at betX.

Ok not going to be posting on this thread anymore, because half the time I am double posting on the events thread as well.

So just going to be putting my bets on the threads created by you guys (or If one hasn't been started I will do so)
