But 20 on England (I have to have faith?). the mythical 'complete game' tomorrow?
And 10 on NZ (send 'em crying back to the valleys)

There's much debate about the source of the term "Pommie". That's one of the theories.Originally posted by Havak

Glad you caught my bets. I don;t want to be denied extending my excellent record on losing money.
Oh yes - but I'll be in rose-tint-o-vision and isolated from the rest of the world then.You realise that if they do the ratings will become meaningless to everyone who isn't an english rugby fan don't you?
Excellent!Other team's bodies all over the place = South African
I kind of expected Finbar to mention Argentinians and gouging?
It's my favourite theory. Gets a lot of response on occassion.

I'm off to bed now, but ...
There seems to be a school of thought that the margins for the Italy and Wales games could be increased. What is the group consensus? Can you please post your thoughts sometime before - say - 10pm Saturday (my time), which is 6am Saturday Caligastia time, which is 11am Saturday Havak time, and midday Saturday Tamerlin time.
If there is a consensus to change the margins, anyone who has bet on either the Wallabies -v- Italy match and/or the Wales -v- All Blacks match will be free to change their bets if they choose." ... and the following morning I should see the Boks wallop the Wallabies again?" - Havak

I'm happy with the margins as they are. If they are changed I will probably change my bets....people like to cry a lot... - Pekka

I am done betting too.
It remains to be said "Go go go Italiano".
Okay so it is all very well being polite about opponents but surely there are common sense limits to it???"Wales are a very big challenge, they are at home and they are a proud rugby nation. At times I tend to feel uncomfortable the way people keep putting down Wales. I love the passion Wales offer as a rugby country and it's going to be very difficult for us."
- All Black coach JOHN MITCHELL is expecting a tough match for his inexperienced team when they travel to Cardiff to meet Wales on Saturday.

Okay, you and Havak aren't desperate to change the margins, so that pretty much rules out changing them.Originally posted by Caligastia

But I've just discovered there will be no TV coverage of the Wallabies -v- Italy match tonight!

I would have liked the Aus-Ita margin increased, but not to the extent that somebody else changes their bet. Leave it where it is (Rather favourable at present, for me anyway. Now if only I could persuade Andydog to back the Wals as well ... )
I guess it remains to be seen whether the Italians take their inspiration from the 82' World Cup win in Spain (I won't say which sport ) or the second WW invasion of Greece 
Damn. I could've sworn it was sceduled in another of the late-night slots but an online site I just checked doesn't show anything either ...But I've just discovered there will be no TV coverage of the Wallabies -v- Italy match tonight!

As I'am not betting on the Italia-Australia and Wales-South Africa games, the end scores being very difficult to estimate between opponents of such vastly different level, I won't ask for the margins to be modified. Do as you please gentlemen.
Isn't it a very long kick outside of the field ? From my 22 to the other side's 22. At least !

It has been in the FoxSports programme schedule as T.B.C. subject to the broadcast rights. I checked their website today and it remains that way. In this morning's Sydney Morning Herald, though, is said no television coverage. I think the England-Springboks match is on FoxSports, though.Originally posted by ravagon
