Quick Insight

At the time of writing Unibet had the head to head for the Canberra Raiders set at $1.32, and $3.30 for the Gold Coast Titans, This sets the bookmakers implied probability for both teams as follows:

Raiders 71.41%
Titans 28.59%

The Betting Edge

Unibet has the Canberra Raiders locked in as solid favourites at $1.32, giving them a hefty implied win probability of 71.41%. The Gold Coast Titans, meanwhile, are way out at $3.30, suggesting just a 28.59% chance of pulling off the upset.
Our model agrees the Raiders should be in the box seat, but not quite as confidently as the bookies, we’ve got them at a 62.07% win chance, with the Titans not far behind at 37.93%. That gap between market expectation and model prediction leaves a little slice of value on the Titans side.

It’s not a screaming roughie, but if you’re looking to get behind a team that the market’s possibly writing off too early, Gold Coast at $3.30 could be worth a second glance.

What to do?

The Raiders look stronger on paper, better attack, stronger line, and far superior consistency, and they’ve handled a tougher schedule too. But $1.32 is a bit rich if you’re chasing value. The market’s pretty much maxed them out.

That brings the Titans into the conversation. At $3.30, there’s a little bit of overs there. Our model gives them a much better chance than the odds imply. If they can keep it tight early and jag a few key moments, the upset isn’t out of the question.

Raiders should still take the win this week, though our prediction has them winning by less than the anticipated 9.5 line suggested by the bookies, best bet here is to take the Titans +9.5 for a little bit of added value compared to the Raiders on the nose.

Looking at multis go the Raiders 1-12, Titans +9.5, and the UNDER 48.5 for a handy little $11.67 with Unibet.
