**FOR ANYONE LOOKING TO HAVE A BET THIS WEEKEND!!!\
\
READ THIS FIRST**
I was talking to my Dad this afternoon and he thought of something really clever. Stick with me while I explain.
These are using odds from TAB Sportsbet as of Tuesday night.
Tigers are currently $5.00 to win the comp.
So if someone was to put money on the Tigers winning the comp, it obviously means they think they're gonna win against St George this weekend, because to get to the GF we must win this weekend.
Therefore, if you want to have a bet now on the Tigers to win the comp, it makes sense for you to put money on the Tigers to beat St George at $2.75 INTO Tigers to win the premiership at $5.00 as they must win both games, thereby increasing your odds from $5.00 to $13.75
With me?
Now, do this for all the teams this weekend and you get the following scenario:
Dragons to win the comp = $2.25
Dragons to win against Tigers = $1.45
Raises premiership odds to $3.26
Tigers premiership odds = $13.75
Titans to win the comp = $4.50
Titans to beat Roosters = $1.80
Raises premiership odds to $8.10
Roosters to win the comp = $4.00
Roosters to beat the Titans = $2.00
Raises premiership odds to $8.00
If you were to put $10 on each of these combinations, it would be a $40 outlay.
You would make a profit if the Tigers, Titans or Roosters win the comp. If the Dragons win, you're out of pocket $7.40
Too much time on our hands?
On another side note … TAB Sportsbet have the Roosters at $4 to win the comp, Titans at $4.50\. But for this weekend's game, the Titans are favourites at $1.80 with the Roosters at $2.00 ... how does that even make sense?!
