It blew a mighty blast up here last night. Trees down again and roads blocked, and power lines down again up country. Not too bad now but not nice ou there. Done the ITV7 and a light hand pnt or two. **** Win Acca, Doubles, Trebles. I meant to put my free bet on "The B.B." in the 1.50 Newbury but somehaow hit on The Brimming Water. Brimming heck I said. Ahh well we will see.

Have had a look at the Rugby The Ireland/ France game looks like the pivotal match of this series and really you just takes your fancy. I think Ireland will shade it, but out in Paris if the French find top gear they have the flair to beat anyone. I have confined my litle punt to the Wales Scotland game. Wales were dreadful last week but will be a different animal in the Principality, especially if the roof is closed. Scotland will not find the officials so accomadating there with the crowd breathing down on them and I fancy Wales to start like the proverbial house on fire and hold on tho shade it. Done my usual scorecasts with that in mind Just 50p punts and only one of them can come up if any do.
First try scorers both for Wales - Zammit and Cuthbert. Wales to win.
Zammit with 1-5 points spread @45/1. 6-10 points spread @50/1.
Cuthbert 1-5, @60/1. 6-10, @ 70/1.

Them's the sort of prices i like putting 50p on, Togo :-))

[Togo]

Haha Ken, they are good when they come up. The England Italy game tomorrow is a pick a number and double it score. Will wait untill the teams are posted before having a flutter there.

[Ken4155]

Errors often prove costly, T, but every now and again........:-)

Done a Trixie/Treble - first two drifted (from 7/2 to 11/2 and from 2/1 fav to 10/3) Waiting for 7/4 fav Fine Casting in the 2.40 War. Fingers crossed :-)

[Togo]

Still laughing here Ken. Should have put it in my punt and taken the hint from providence.

[Togo]

Ahh well said the soul. I got the score spread and the result right but the first try scorer eluded me. It is a brave punt to have the first try for one team and the final result to the other. I will put my England punt on here Ken. You will know what to avoid then.

[Ken4155]

Nonsense, Togo, i'll punt on whatever you select. Rugby is not a sport i follow with any great enthusiasm, so i will always bow to your greater wisdom on this particular subject:-)
I did watch it regularly back in the day - so far back Eddie Waring was the main commentator - but it's just one of those sports i've lost a lot of interest in. Bit like snooker. There was no more avid fan of the green baize game than me, once upon a time. Now i hardly watch at all.

[Ken4155]

I see the game kicks off at 3. I'll have to remember to log back on at half time during The Clarets v Liverpool match in order to place the bet then.

[Togo]

Had a ponder and am of a mind that England "should" be putting 40 points on the Italians today and will probably have an eye on points differences for when the final games are played and want to exceed France's tally. I also think we are going to spend a lot of time in their half with tries coming from either the wings or from the back of the ruck after scrums and mauls. With this in mind and considering that I filched nigh on £30 from 365 yesterday I have thown a whole £5 at it and done 50p punts on 10 Scorecasts. First Try Scorer and England winning margin. The 5 players are Nowell, Malins, Marchant, Tom Curry, & Itoje.The winning marginh to be 41-45 and 46-50.
The odds in the same player and margin order as I listed them above.
80/1 & 100/1. 80/1 & 100/1. 100/1 & 130/1. 260/1 & 340/1. 230/1 & 300/1. Come on Tom Curry. :))

[Ken4155]

"Come on Tom Curry" - i second that :-)

Bets are on just in time to sit and watch us draw 2-2 (25/1) with a full strength Liverpool side who have the luxury of dropping the PL's most in form striker - Jota. I may be watching this game from behind the settee :-/
