- Blues -10 @ 2.00
- Highlanders +10 @ 1.83
- Tie +10 @ 17.00
Therefore, if you think the Blues can win their match by eleven points, then you might back the 2.00 about this happening. If you think the Highlanders can win, draw or lose by nine points or less, then you might back the 1.83. If you want to back the Blues to win by exactly 10 points, you could chance the tie option at 17.00.
