LOI Round 17

[brianw82]

'bout time someone took the finger out around here!

Derry ht/ft with Paddy and/or -1 with Bet 365 are interesting me at the moment. Both are 11/10.

For all you non-Sligonians, 13/10 on Bohs -1 with Bet 365 looks good, particularly if we happen to be missing Gavin Peers, easily our best defender (supposedly tore a quad in training)

[sligoman]

(supposedly tore a quad in training)There's nothing supposed about it:confused:

13-10 on Bohs -1 is a great price alright, we never play well in Dalymount and with Peers and possibly Holmes out, our defence should have one or two of the younger players starting.

[Mr A]

and possibly Holmes out.

Not all bad news for ye so.

[brianw82]

Going for a slightly mad bet this week. I don't really expect this to come off so it'll be a lovely surprise if it does. Both teams should win these games, but the odds on singles are prohibitive, and I really can't decide which ht/ft to go for, so I'm going with both.

Backing Derry City and Waterford United, both ht/ft (Paddy Power) @ 3/1 - 2pts

[De Town]

I plan on doing:

Fingal v Kildare - Fingal -2
Bohs v Sligo - Bohs -1
Derry v Bray - Derry -1

Just over 9/1 - 2 pts.

and..

Over 2.5 goals in:

Fingal v Kildare
Bohs v Sligo
Waterford v Athlone
Rovers v Galway

Just over 15/1 - 2 pts.

[Raheny Red]

I'm on Limerick already for their game against us this Friday. 0.5 pts on the 5/2 and 1.5 pts on the draw no bet @ 8/5. These prices won't last, Shels were mule tonight being beaten by a Leinster Senior League side and we are poor. Shels have been getting away with it all season. Also, small chance that we could be managerless for the game. Bets with Hills btw.

Well I was right in saying the 5/2 wouldn't last long with Hills but both Lads and Bet365 now go 5/2 which is well worth a bet IMO, also 3.75 is available on Betfair. Here's a preview of the game: http://shelbournefc.ie/news.php?id=1236. We are missing a few players and there's a strong possibility that some players will be playing with knocks and u-20 players taking a spot or two on the bench. Also, with the few players missing we may be averting to a 4-3-3 formation which doesn't work for us and is a complete failure. I was against Limerick last week but judging by the reports they should have beaten Premier side St. Pats. Shels also had a replay on Monday night losing 1-0 to non-league side Crumlin United. With the 2 week break coming up after tonight's game this Shels side will definitely have one eye on their hols. Unders @ 1.70 also looks good for tonight. 6 of the last 8 games for Limerick have finished with 2 goals or less while Shels' last 3 games have finished under 2.5 goals. Remember, this is Scully -V- Keely, possibly two of the most defensive managers in the country, 0-0 is a real possibility. I can't see Shels winning tonight so I've gone in for another bite on Limerick @ 3.75 on betfair.

Backing:

Limerick @ 5/2 and 3.75 - 2.5 points

[eL Bettor]

I took the 5/2 also when you posted earlier Raheny, which was then cut in some places, so was surprised to still see 5/2 available yesterday. I'm on Limerick as high as 3.9 on betfair also.

My other bets are Dundalk +1.25 (asian handicap) @ 1.78 , UCD -1.25 (asian hcap) @ 1.99, and Longford DNB @ 2.05.

[pineapple stu]

Raheny Red's turning into a UCD fan. :p

[JC_GUFC]

On Limerick too.

Also I think Kildare are a crazy price @ 30/1 - they've signed a load of new players and it's only a football match!! Stranger things have happened.

Kildare are 30/1? Where? That's definitely worth a Euro.

[pineapple stu]

Against Fingal? Can't see it happening. But stranger things have happened.

[passinginterest]

Against Fingal? Can't see it happening. But stranger things have happened.

Type of game Fingal will expect to be able to stroll, Kildare have improved vastly in the last few weeks and new signings are available tonight as far as I know.

[sligoman]

Anyone who wants easy money put your bank account on Bohs tonight. Having heard our starting 11, we have no hope. A few young lads starting. If Bohs dont beat us, they should all be taken out and shot.

[DmanDmythDledge]

33/1 with Betfair. Best prices with bookies 28/1 with B365 and then 16/1 with PP and WH.

Bet365 are 28/1 and they're now about 35/1 on Betfair and Betdaq.

[Longfordian]

Gone for a Bohs -1, Fingal -2 and Wexford draw no bet treble. I think Wexford are due a win after the two close cup games. Though I won't be displeased if we come out on top again obviously!.

[passinginterest]

Thanks lads. I won't be opening an online account to put €1 on Kildare and I wouldn't be tempted by a measly 16/1 in the shops so I'll give it a miss. :D

[De Town]

I plan on doing:

Fingal v Kildare - Fingal -2
Bohs v Sligo - Bohs -1
Derry v Bray - Derry -1

Just over 9/1 - 2 pts.

Feckin Fingal :mad:

[Longfordian]

Yeah once again stung on the handicap also. It's lucky I'm only having a small dabble each week given my terrible run.

Couldn't give a toss :)

Draw would've been a fair result, with 30 mins to go Limerick missed a peno.


Raheny Red's turning into a UCD fan. :p

Whatcha mean?

[eL Bettor]

I think he means the way you are tipping against your own team. The UCD fans here seem to be doing it the whole time.

BTW, some guy on betfair football forum claims that one LOI game was fixed last night, he wont say who.

Cork vs Dundalk and Drogs vs Pats only games he could be talking about. I highly doubt any of them were fixed- Cork have been crap lately as have Pats for most of the season.

[brianw82]

Going for a slightly mad bet this week. I don't really expect this to come off so it'll be a lovely surprise if it does. Both teams should win these games, but the odds on singles are prohibitive, and I really can't decide which ht/ft to go for, so I'm going with both.

Sweet! Can't believe this one came off. Going into the mid-season break on a high now. :)

[28201]

..
Probably Mervue United - Monaghan

Odds on Monaghan dropping like crazy just before the game started, which means that A LOT of money was placed on them, without any obvious reason... (at least none of which I knew)

Just to get an impression: http://www.oddsoddsodds.com/goto/odds/s1/g656042/m1/d0/result_3/

Well, after half an hour it was 0:3 then, surprise surprise :eek:
