This Week's Rugby League - Part Two

By The Man

Warrington v Wigan



17:30 GMT 20th February

My fixed odds preview revealed that I was firmly in the Wigan camp and now the spread companies have revealed their hand and I'd like to top up at the prices on offer. Sporting Index go 5-8 supremacy and I just can't see much downside to this bet. As I have already stated I envisage a really close game and would be surprised if either side won by more than a couple of converted tries. The price just cries out for a wager. If Wire win by 12pts then I face a 7pt loss, if Wigan do likewise there's a 17pt gain. I like those sort of bets.

And there's another bet I like. Wigan have been so strong in defence and I expect that trend to continue. Again I can't see much downside in selling Warrington pts at 24. Even if they win they could well post lower than that in a potential arm wrestle.
 
Pick: Sell Warrington Supremacy at 5 for 0.2pts

Pick: Sell Warrington Pts at 24 for 0.2pts
 
Both with Sporting Index
 
SpreadEx and Extrabet are yet to post their prices so it may be worth checking there first, however, if I see a price I like it usually pays not to dawdle so my wagers down with Sporting.
