SKYBET great odds!

You can get 9-1 on Wigan as regular season winners with an 11 point head start.

Elswhere its the same odds without the points advantage!

Make hay before they realise!

careful with this bet- i got caught out last year.

It doesn't mean Wigan (with +11) to beat the top placed team in league, it means Wigan to finish top of a weighted league effectively. So, for example, if wigan got 40 regular season points + 11 'handicap' points = 51. If then, Cas got 28 points in league with +24 'handicap' points = 52 and therefore anyone with £10 on Cas would win.

Hope that explains- basically its more about how you think the lesser teams will finish in that they have huge handicaps. Think Wakey and a.n.other won last year when i queried my bet at season end.

oops ..thats £100 up in smoke!
What a MUG!

Thanks for clearing that up !

Being very sad, and having not much on at work. I sort of applied the handicap points to last year.

Quins 44
Catalans 41
Huddersfield 40
Wakefield 39

So yes is pretty weighted in favour of the clubs that are not expected to do well

Ive got a good vibe about our season, this is the first time since 1998 that ive been confident we will do something.

Ditto God my old china. Although I'm sure I post a remark just like this one every season!!!

Cant wait now. Bottom line is we will win something this year and with the odds in double figures generally it's a license to print money....

(Oh dear)
