Being a degen is a core principle of our SGPN family. Well, what’s more degen than sweating out how many 180s will be thrown in a darts match? Or how many kills a player will get in Call of Duty? Allow us to introduce our Degens Only Play of the Day, a pick so obscure, it will have your friends questioning your sanity.
Every day, we scour sportsbooks and DFS sites for that one special play off the beaten path. Today, we turn our attention back to rugby and the Betfred Super League as it enters Round 24 of its season. Here we find a point spread that could be a little too large for the favorite to cover and gives the underdog a fighting chance.
Rugby Super League Betting Pick: Degens Only Play of the Day
Castleford Tigers +28.5 vs. Leigh Leopards (-110 via HARD ROCK)
It has certainly been a rough few rounds for Castleford as it has lost eight of its last ten matches. To make matters worse, the Tigers have the league’s second-worst point differential having been outscored by 325 points so far this season. On top of that, they have lost their last four games by a combined 162 points. However, they managed to cover this spread in five of their six matches prior to that.

Leigh enters this match fifth on the ladder with 15 wins, 7 losses, and a draw to the record. The Leopards have won seven of their last ten matches heading into this round. However, they have only beaten their opponent by at least 29 points once in that span. Even then, they bested a Salford Red Devils that is last in the league with only two wins, and has a -857 point differential this year.
Castleford has gone 9-0 versus Leigh against this spread going all the way back to the 2017 season. These teams last met in April with the Leopards coming away with a 20-6 victory.
Good luck on this and all of your plays today. We’ll be back with another Degens Only Play of the Day tomorrow. While you’re here, check out some of my other contributions to the SGPN.
