Well done to the All Blacks who triumphed over Australia in Hong Kong and got our weekend off to a good start. It might only have been 5/18 but it was a win and some profit in the account. We needed it after the hapless England cricket team could not even get us a trade!

The NFL was mixed early on as the Tennessee Titans did triumph, albeit in overtime, to secure a win but I lost on my back of total points. This left the weekend relying on the New York Giants covering the handicap against archrivals Dallas Cowboys and the Miami Dolphins upsetting Denver Broncos in their own backyard up in Denver. They both did that comfortably for a cracking, very profitable weekend! The Giants covered their handicap for 10/11 and, better yet, Miami won as we layed Denver at 4/7.
