Knights
Win Percentages
Quick Insight
At the time of writing bet365 had the head to head for Newcastle Knights set at $1.56, and $2.45 for the Dolphins, This sets the bookmakers implied probability for both teams as follows:
The Betting Edge
The bookies have the Knights as clear favourites, pricing them at $1.56, which suggests a 64.1% chance of winning. But our numbers tell a different story, giving the Knights just 48.3% and the Dolphins 51.7%.
That means the Dolphins are being undervalued. Their odds are set at $2.45, with the bookies only giving them a 40.82% chance—yet our analysis suggests they should be slight favourites. Based on this, their true odds should be around $1.93, meaning there’s a solid betting edge in backing them at the current price.

Head-to-Head Stats
- Average Points For Per Match: Warriors: 8.0, Sea Eagles: 42.0 – (Sea Eagles by 34.0 points)

Panthers
Win Percentages
Quick Insight
At the time of writing bet365 had the head to head for Penrith Panthers is set at $1.10, and $7.00 for the Sydney Roosters, This sets the bookmakers implied probability for both teams as follows:
Opportunity Bet
The bookies have the Panthers as overwhelming favourites at $1.10, implying a 90.91% chance of winning. But our analysis suggests they’re still the stronger side, just not by that much—we give them a 73% chance, while the Roosters sit at 27%.
This means the Roosters are being hugely undervalued. They’re priced at $7.00, but our numbers suggest their true odds should be closer to $3.70. While the Panthers are likely winners, the biggest betting edge is on the Roosters, as their actual chances are much higher than what the odds imply.
If you’re looking for value, the Roosters at $7.00 offer a huge potential return, making them an interesting underdog play.
What to Do
Sit this one out, all bets are hugely favouring the Panthers and for good reason, they are going to win. Unless you’re planning to whack $1,000 on to see a $100 profit its just not worth it.
