How To
Use Betting Units. Set your total amount of money to bet with for today and divided it by 100. That is how much each unit is. E.G if you have $1000 / 100 = $10 Units.
Follow the staking advice. Anyone who only put the same amount on every bet would have made less than 50% of the profit made by following our Staking Advice and Volume of Bets.
Check the number of units to stake in the caption of each photo. See the example below.

Panthers -18.5, Stake 2 Units, Minimum Odds 1.9, Best Book Lads/Neds
The Panthers have gone from strength to strength this season and it seems unlikely that it will be the Sharks that slow them down. The Sharks themselves are in the middle of a shocking form slump in which they may be unlikely to recover from this season. The Panthers have easily won the last few matches against the Sharks with 2 huge wins last season. The Panthers will want to strengthen up their defence this week after conceding a league-high 16 points last week.
Nathan Cleary Try - Stake 1 Unit, Minimum Odds 3.0, Best Book - Lads/Neds
Nathan Cleary is one of the best try-scoring playmakers in the league. Cleary has a unique nose for the line like no other and his darting charges at the line are deadly. The Sharks are missing troops in the middle of the park and will struggle against his speed and elusiveness. Cleary has scored in 3 of his 7 career games against the Sharks, each time against stronger forwards than they are fielding today. The Sharks have conceded at least 1 try to an opposition half in 4 of the last 5 matches.
Sydney Roosters Win - Stake 2 Units, Minimum Odds 2.5, Best Book - Bet365
There is a lot of talk about the Roosters being cooked with all of their injuries this season. This may be the case for most other teams but the Roosters have the deepest roster in the competition. Although Brett Morris is a huge loss, don’t sleep on Matt Ikuvalu who would be a 1st string player on almost every other team in the league. The Eels results look great in theory this season but they have not played a top tier team since week 2. The Eels may come into this game sluggish with the lack of quality opposition. Never count out a team that has just lost one of their leaders as they almost always step up the following week to play the game for them.
James Tedesco First Roosters Try - Stake 1 Unit, Minimum Odds 5.5, Best Odds - Lads/Neds
James Tedesco will return rested and refreshed this week after being precautionarily held out last week. Tedesco started the season off in stellar form and his team will need him to return to that form as their senior players continue to fall. In every game that Tedesco has scored a try this season, he has managed to get the Roosters first try.
Thursday 6th May
Storm -7.5, Stake 2.5 Units, Minimum Odds 1.9
The Storm is going from strength to strength this season, showing life without Cam Smith is fine for the Melbourne outfit. The Storm has covered this line in all 6 of their victories this season including a week 1 win over the Rabbitohs. The Storm holds a very impressive record over the Bunnies and has covered this line in their last 4 straight matches against them. The Rabbitohs have been crushed by injuries and suspensions over the last few weeks and will be fielding a very depleted squad this week. We are releasing this line early as we believe we have the best of the number right now. We want to get out ahead of team lists being dropped when the public realises the extent of the injury crisis at South Sydney. Best odds at Lads/Neds.
Alex Johnston Try - Stake 1.5 Units, Minimum Odds 2.7
I’ve found a great over the odds play that may only be available for a short time. Alex Johnston was named at Fullback but has now been confirmed to move to the wing per coach Wayne Bennet. This presents a fantastic situation as right now the odds haven't updated. Alex Johnston is one of the most dangerous wingers in the game scoring 8 tries already this season. This includes 2 in the first fixture against the Storm and their porus right edge defence. Over 50% of tries the Storm have conceded this season have come against that edge. These odds won’t be around for long as bookmakers will slowly be adjusting. Best odds Lads/Neds.
