That is all what i am saying.
Furthermore, the under got squashed to $1.65 at the TAB.
Make up your mind.
Heavy plunges on exotics like first try scorer, 1st scoring plays etc, raise alarm bells. Plunges on line (handi capps) also raise bells.
Not overs unders....
you're lack of a clue about sports betting never ceases to amaze me
ask your mate at the TAB what % of all turnover for a game does over/under betting count? And a bet of how many dollars will move the line? And does who made the bet have an affect?
On exotics, what % of turnover do these count for? So if money comes in outside what is normal alarm bells ring. That is why betting organisations inform the NRL of these things BEFORE the game, not cry foul after the game like you and Alan Eskander.
Plunges on the line raise alarm bells not because of a "fix" but because of changes to the game (generally player news). There is nothing sinister about this, it is all part of the risk in putting up lines so early. Teams are not official until 1 hr before kick off. Despite your fairy tales to the contrary, the TAB does not fly employees around the country to training sessions. If a player goes down at training the punters will know before the betting outlets.
If you have bothered to watch games objectively the last few weeks you would see the quality of play has been shithouse. You are carrying on about a team that could only score 12 the week before at home against a team that doesn't really like to tackle. But you would compare a team to last year and not last week, while ignoring the form of their best player of last year to this year.
You wouldn't know a fix if it slapped you in the face. You didn't even know about the Tandy situation until it hit the papers the following friday. Even then you got it all wrong (who was the players brother involved you were talking about?)
