Rhys Penhaligon — Motorsport, rugby and cricket analyst

Rhys writes the Formula 1, rugby, cricket, darts and snooker pages. Each of these sports is settled by its own format, and every page he writes starts by explaining how that format moves the price.

Rhys Penhaligon covers the sports whose formats do most of the work. A Formula 1 weekend with a sprint has two chances to score points; a rugby table has bonus points that change what a losing side plays for; a cricket match turns on the toss; darts and snooker are decided by how long the match is. His pages explain the format before the form.

What Rhys covers

How Rhys works

Rhys reads the regulations as closely as the results: points systems, bonus-point rules, the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method and match lengths are all on the page because they decide how a bet settles. Results and calendars come from the governing bodies and the tournament organisers. Where a format is new, as with rugby's Nations Championship, he says what is confirmed and what is not. His picks are labelled as estimates.

Reading Rhys Penhaligon's picks

Rhys Penhaligon states the format assumption behind every pick: a dry race, a full eighty minutes, a completed innings, the scheduled number of sets. If that assumption breaks, the pick may no longer apply. Rhys Penhaligon also flags weather risk where it affects settlement, as it often does in cricket and motorsport. For darts and snooker he adds the match length in legs, sets or frames to every pick, since the same two players can be priced very differently over seven frames and over nineteen.

Why does Rhys explain formats first?
Because in these sports the format changes the price more than recent form. A best-of-seven-sets match and a best-of-eleven-legs match favour different players.
Where do the calendars come from?
From the governing bodies and organisers: the FIA, World Rugby and the unions, the ICC and the boards, the PDC and the World Snooker Tour.
Does Rhys cover rugby league?
The rugby pages focus on union; league is mentioned where it affects a market.
