Las Vegas 7s!

Las Vegas 7s!

Ok boys, its the 5th leg of the IRB Sevens Series. No time to do extensive preview but these are my early fancies!

Canada -1.5 vs United States!
Canada have won 2 of the last 3 and were superb in New Zealand while the USA seem to be struggling. I fancy Canada to win this by 7-10 points and have a MAX BET on Canada -1.5 at Hollywood!

Re: Las Vegas 7s!

USA v Canada H2H
PE 7s 2011/12 - Canada 24 USA 14
Dubai 7s 2011/12 - Canada 17 USA 33
Vegas 2010/11 - Canada 19 USA 15

Pan American Games October 2011 - Canada 21 USA 19

2/3 in the IRB7s series and 3/4 in their last 4 matches. Canada are a better side and have an exceptional kicker in Nathan Hirayama so if it comes to converted penalties, then I fancy Canada! Come on you Canooks!

Re: Las Vegas 7s!

Thanks for the pick RB! Going to follow you on Canada.

Another I like is Kenya -2.5 vs Scotland
Kenya were a different beast last weekend with their 7's maestros back and had some great performances.

Re: Las Vegas 7s!

Samoa are -21.5 vs Japan on Day 1. Last 3 head-to-heads read:
NZ 2011 - Samoa 28 Japan 16
Aus 2011 - Samoa 40 Japan 7
Vegas 2011 - Samoa 31 Japan 7
Aus 2010 - Samoa 54 Japan 5
Vegas 2009 - Samoa 33 Japan 7

Now I got burnt with Samoa -24.5 last week but will stick with Samoa this week. This is the 1st back to back tournament for Japan and I dont think they will cope well. Samoa  have beaten Japan by an avearage of 37-9 so I will take a shot at Samoa -21.5

Re: Las Vegas 7s!

Hi Guys,

I really like the Canada bet and think Kenya is well worth a punt.. Speaking from experience i don't suggest any 7s multi's unless you feeling very adventurous. I don't want to sound like a sore loser or sour but betting on a game thats being officiated by part time tow-truck drivers  makes it a complete gamble.. not only do you have to worry about the crazy bounce of the ball but you also have to take into consideration if the Ref will spot the 3m forward pass or the blatant knock on under the posts..

That being said my bets are straight up, no doubles or trebles.

5 units on Canada
4 units on Kenya
1 unit on Argentina vs Fiji
(I reckon betting against Fiji on the 1st game could be viable as they probably spending friday night hunting vegas POON on the strip)

I love the 7s code but it is about as professional as the stellenbosch U13 bowls team.

well thats just my 2cents.
.

Good luck men

i am nervous for this weekend

Re: Las Vegas 7s!

Tilting is a Disease you are spot on with Fiji! I wont touch that game! Somehow when they play and I need the conversion they always walk into the corner and score there because they think its glamorous!

5 units Canada
5units Kenya
3 units Samoa are my picks

Good luck lads (also nervous for this weekend)

Re: Las Vegas 7s!

Was unable to watch or punt the 7's so far. Just seen the results now. Brilliant picks from the guys as per usual. RB if your money management skills is half as good as your handicapping skills, you can make a cmfortable living on 7's alone.  beersmiley

Re: Las Vegas 7s!

I share your pain. Dont know why they were so slack. Judging by the results I think I would've been about even if the odds I think would've been given, were given....If you know what I mean. Well lets hope they hurry up and put some out for todays games.

Re: Las Vegas 7s!

Hi lads,

Sorry to hear it was a blood bath. I think SA have been in unbelievable form and will take the vegas crown. Brown, Africa and Cornell Hendriks are all in superb form. I noticed the ABS weren't clicking 100% and think the BOKs will be more hungry for the win.

I rate the squad, just hope Treu doesn't come up with a stupid game plan. Waiting for prices to come up but Uruguay have been unbelievable this weekend, they are almost always good on the spread bar their game against the boks.

England have had a terrible tourn, to struggle to put those brazilians away shows how bad they really are. I am 100% sure these refs are involved in match fixing of some sort. This is not me complaining, i just don't believe it is possible to be that bad. I would actually have more respect for them if they were match fixing. One of my best friends is blind and i am 100%  sure he (with his labrador of course) would officiate better than the current crop of retards running the show there.

Well good luck for tonight, think we going to need it.

i am nervous for this weekend

Re: Las Vegas 7s!

Odds are out: Im liking:

Scotland (-18.5) vs  Uruguay (+18.5) Have been decent on spreads
Australia (-6.5) vs USA (+6.5) Home advantage and Australia have injuries
England (-9.5) vs Argentina (+9.5) They haven't been amazing but are WAY better than Arg.
New Zealand (-5.5) vs South Africa (+5.5) Just to be Patriotic and SA have looked really good.

Let me know what you guys think.

Re: Las Vegas 7s!

my second bet of this tournament, joining RB on the Canada -12.5 for a decent sized punt, might need this seeing as Scotland are on for a hiding in the 6 nations.

Re: Las Vegas 7s!

Hey Guys

All I can say is THANK GOD FOR CANADA!!!!! They are my favourite team on the 7s circuit. The Canadians have covered 9 out of their last 10!!!! They never give up and are a joy to watch and a saviour to my punting bankroll!!!

A mediocre 7s tourney by comparison! The Aussies v Japan game hurt me the hardest as did the final where I went against MY OWN RULES (Knob head alert) and didn't back the + in a Cup Final!!! Must say Samoa were awesome on Day 2 and good to see them winning again. Very surprised to see them come out firing in the final after that epic Semi v Fiji!
The Blitzbokke are too weak against the big sides! Lost 3/3 against Fiji and 2/2 against NZ this season.

Anyways, roll on the MOTHER OF 7s TOURNEYS ... HONG KONG BABY!!! 23-25 March 2012. Make time in your diaries boys, send the family away for the weekend  laughsmiley Its gonna be a big BOOM Weekend  beersmiley

Well done all the Canada backers  beersmiley  laughsmiley  beersmiley  laughsmiley
