Punting is always a game of "should haves", "could haves", "might haves", "ifs" and "maybes". That said, it's always nice to see a punter who is on a good thing. For this person's sake, I say "Carn the Panthers".
Penrith have been the surprise packet of the NRL season and it has at least one punter smiling after he backed them to win everything but the Leagues club chook raffle pre season.
Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said the Panthers had been well backed to win the Premiership, the Minor Premiership and to make the top four at big odds pre season.
“We laid bets of $55,000 to $2500 at $23 for both the Premiership and Minor Premiership and a bet of $50,000 to $12,500 for them to make the top four,” Sullivan said.
“They are now sitting second on the ladder and we have slashed their odds to $5.50 for the Premiership and they look a genuine threat.
“They have been a real surprise packet to me but obviously this punter saw something most of us didn’t as he could potentially collect well over $150,000.
“Their current quote of $5.50 looks to be short enough to me but the way they are playing, they are one of only a few genuine Premiership hopes.”
St George are the current $3.25 favourites at Sportingbet ahead of the Panthers at $5.50 and the resurgent Broncos at $8.00.
