Parramatta continue as a good bet

Parramatta continue to be a great NRL bet, with outstanding form at the business end of the competition. Yesterday they thrashed the Penrith Panthers 48-6 with Jared Hayne impressive once more. The Eels were paying $2.30 to win their match by 13+ with TAB Sportsbet.

In other matches Manly are favourites to beat Cronulla paying just $1.05 for the win. Similarly the Bulldogs are short favourites to take out the win against the Warriors paying $1.09.

The money is on Stewart

Punters have let their money talk for this weekends round of NRL with more than $50,000 placed on Manly to beat Melbourne. Confidence is high with the belief that Manly fullback Brett Stewart will play. Manly had been $2.10 outsiders, but with the belief Stewart will return odds have been shortened to $1.90 equal favourites.

Kevin Rudd picks the wrong bet

After the All Blacks beat the Wallabies in the weekend, Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd had to make good of his bet with New Zealand Prime Minister John Key and wear a NZ tie. Read more here.

Doh!

Wow, feel sorry for the punter who bet $250,000 on the Dragons to beat the Broncos in the weekend. Had the Dragons won he was set to profit $80,000 but instead the dragons went down losing 12-2.
