Steve Richardson has been in great tipping form this Six Nations so don't miss his Wales v Ireland bets.
Wales v Ireland - Friday 20:05, BBC1
The permutation is not worth jotting down so slim is the slimmest of slim chances that Wales hold of sneaking the Six Nations title.
However, Friday night's Principality Stadium-clash with Ireland should still be a frenetic, hard-fought affair.
Wales's senior players will feel the match is a final meaningful opportunity to convince on-sabbatical Head Coach Warren Gatland that they are worth a place in this summer's British & Irish Lions squad. A closed roof guarantees a fervent atmosphere.
But the Red Dragons do not seem to be playing well enough as a team to turn over the Boys In Green, who still boast genuine claims of a third championship in four years and also have plenty of players desperate to be on the plane to New Zealand.
Back Ireland to win in the Second Half Result market.
In round one, Ireland responded to the shock of being 21-8 down at half-time in Edinburgh to sneak the lead only to be sunk by two late Scotland penalties.
In round three, Ireland took time to subdue France in Dublin but once they were in front they never looked like relaxing their grip on the game. In between Ireland hammered Italy in Rome, flexing their muscles with forward dominance in the first half and then employing more expansive continuity tactics with the try-bonus success secure.
In the autumn in Chicago, Ireland recorded a first-ever win over the All Blacks and were only edged out in a Dublin return, as well as beating the Wallabies. Last summer, they won a Test in South Africa and came so close to winning the three-game series.
Wales were sluggish in the first-half in Rome and grateful for an astounding amount of Italian penalties for the momentum that lead to a comfortable victory in round one.
Then Wales rocked but never rolled England, sneaking an interval lead through a well-worked scrum attack but then coughing up the game-winning try with a late clearance lapse.
A fortnight ago, Wales were punished for not opening up a big enough lead at the break at Murrayfield, shipping 20 unanswered points in the second half to Scotland.
Wales were awful against Australia in the autumn and not convincing in their wins over Japan and Argentina afterwards. Everyone was beating South Africa, including Italy, so that final November success doesn't inspire confidence either.
Stand-in Wales Head Coach Rob Howley has stayed loyal to the side a that suffered in Scotland but the retention of Ross Moriarty at No.8 suggests restricting Ireland and their imposing Backrow, the marauding CJ Stander in particular, rather than setting their own stall out for victory with yard-making machine Taulupe Faletau.
Ireland can benefit from the same relaxation of pressure at the breakdown as England and Scotland did when Faletau comes onto the pitch and they are more than happy to play expansively rather than just use their driving forwards and the promptings of Conor Murray and Johnny Sexton.
If Wales are to put a wrench in the Ireland works for a potential title showdown in Dublin with England then Outside Centre Jonathan Davies is a value bet to be among the Red Dragons tryscorers.
2013 Lion Davies scored a try in Wales' 2011 World Cup quarter-final win over Ireland in Wellington and two tries in Dublin in 2012 when Wales won to begin a charge to the Grand Slam.
Davies scored the try that was the catalyst for their second-half surge against Italy and also has the delicious running lines to trouble rookie opponent Garry Ringrose. Ringrose was caught a touch flat-footed by Scotland Full-Back Stuart Hogg in round one.
