Rugby Betting - Six Nations - Magners League - Heineken Cup - Welsh Prem

Subject to confirmation on Friday evening, PB looks like tipping all the home sides this weekend and all receiving points in the Handicap. Currently, the best on offer are -

Italy +18 v. Wales in Rome (available at 10/11 at Corals, Stan James and SkyBet)

Scotland +7 v. Ireland in Edinburgh (available at 10/11 at Bet365, BetFred, SportingBet, PaddyPower, SkyBet, Ladbrokes, Corals and Hills)

England +2 v. France at Twickenham (available at 10/11 at Bet365, BetFred, SkyBet, PaddyPower and Ladbrokes)

These are tentative choices at the moment but clearly, if things remain the same then a treble and 3 singles at SkyBet is the considered option.

PB is sticking with his selections and has a few others worth considering. In order of confidence...

1. Italy +9 at 10/11 (SkyBet) against Wales in the Half-time Handicap

2. England +1 at 10/11 (BetFred, Ladbrokes and Hills) against France in the Half-time Handicap

3. Scotland v Ireland Total Points Over 36.5 at 5/6 (BlueSquare and 888Sport)

At half time in the 1st game yesterday between Italy and Wales, PB texted me and said that aswell as the straight handicap treble and single bets listed above, he'd also placed a £10 treble on the HalfTime / FullTime winning market. In case you're wondering what this is, it's predicting the teams that are in front at the end of each half. His bet, placed in Corals, was (and they all have to be correct) Italy Halftime, Wales Fulltime (odds 7/1)  then Scotland Halftime, Ireland Fulltime (odds 11/2) and finally, England Halftime, England Fulltime (odds 9/5).

PB is waiting on this afternoon's game at Twickenham where he wants England to be in front at Halftime AND Fulltime for a payout of £1,456 for his £10 stake!

I've wished him good luck . Meanwhile the handicap treble got off to a flyer with Italy at +18 yesterday but was scuppered in a nailbiter with Scotland at +7 losing to Ireland 15-22 so ending in a draw - no good for us! Still, there are the singles to pick up on, 2 of which are for this afternoon as listed above - England +1 at Halftime and England +2 at Fulltime. Unfortunately, it is not possible to double these 2 predictions as one effects the other - ask your bookie for a full explanation!
