Could not find any odds on Saturday games. On Marshall's World of Sport betting on the Bulls game has been suspended - there must have been a problem. On Superbetting they have no game betting on Saturday. I tried Ladbrokes too - again no beeting or odds. Not that I would put any money on the games - but it would be interesting to see how the Bookmakers are measuring the games outcomes.
Insofar as the trophy betting is concerned the Betting World's odds are as follows:-
Crusaders - 5/2
Stormers - 15/4
Chiefs - 7/2
Reds - 8/1
Bulls - 12/1
Sharks - 12/1
I think the Crusader odds is really not realistic - since to win they will have to play two away games. In view of their patchy away record this year - I think it is not wise to bet on them. The Stormers are equally dicy, because of the uninspirationl games they play. The Chiefs has a better chance to win than both the topo two teams - but I would say 7/2 is stingy odds.
I give the other three teams no real chance of winning anything. The Reds has a 30% chance of beating the Sharks and if the latter beats them - the continent hopping would take the toll in that case. The Bulls are not in the compeition at all - as far as I am concerned.
