NRL S2016 finals round predictions

NRL S2016 Finals round tips

Summary

No bets were laid during the finals round due to low confidence in historic model prediction/s, however I posthumously present the models predictions for the 2016 finals season.

Round 27 = Quarter-finals

Round 28 = Semi-finals

Round 29 = Preliminary finals

Round 30 = Grand final

The model recommended bets on Canberra to beat Penrith in the Semi final, and Sharks to beat Cowboys (in the preliminary final). Both bets would have returned wins.
