LOI Series 20

[DmanDmythDledge]

William Hill have odds up early as usual. Not all games priced yet but Fingal@3.2 looks good to me.

[brianw82]

1.73 on Shams to beat us is a gimme. Our defence is brutal beyond belief, and we're likely to have a right back and utility player in central defence. Haven't gone against us so far this season, but when we're so bad...

Odds with Boyle, btw

[DmanDmythDledge]

Yep, definitely. Might even go back to the handicaps for that one.

More odds up now.

Drogs, Bohs and Waterford at evens are all great value.

[Sheridan]

Bohs' recent record at home to Derry is dire as I recall, I reckon that's an under if anything.

[The Betting Man]

Our record in general of late isnt great to say the least against Derry except for the cup that is ;) We have never beaten Derry at home since Kenny took over Derry

[eL Bettor]

Bohs will surely be resting players also assuming they dont get hammered in the 1st leg v Salzburg??

[DmanDmythDledge]

Bohs will surely be resting players also assuming they dont get hammered in the 1st leg v Salzburg??
When they're only 5 points clear at the top? Highly doubt it. They've decent cover in their squad anyway. Derry are playing midweek too.

[eL Bettor]

If Bohs draw or win this week in Austria, however unlikely, they'll surely rest a few, with their financial future depending so much on progressing in Europe...

Shamrock Rovers v Sligo Rovers

I just can't see us getting anything from this game. We don't get much from the 'other' Rovers at the best of times, and we're dire at the moment. We have the same problem as last season, in that we're finding it hard to score, but compounded now by a colander-like, ever-changing defence. Even if one or both of our new strikers score, our defence is going to be under a stern test from the hottest strike force in the league. This price is only likely to come down so I'd advise lumping on quickly.

Backing Shamrock Rovers to win (Boyle Sports) @ 8/11 - 4pts

The people decide that :) - the markets are usually up 5-10 days in advance!

Rovers@1.72 vs Sligo- 4pts

Bohs@2 vs Derry- 1pt

Waterford@2 vs Mons- 3pts
UCD@2.25 vs Wexford- 1pt
Harps@1.91 vs Athlone- 2pts
Limerick@2 vs Kildare- 1pt

[Mr A]

Harps will be missing Houston... very light up front without him or Gethins so I'd be less optimistic than I was about our game. Still, though we've certainly been playing well.

[Battery Rover]

Yep and we could be missing up to 9 first choice players due to injury and suspension

[Longfordian]

Have few quid on a Longford, Harps, Waterford and Shamrock Rovers accumulator.

[Raheny Red]

Waterford at evens tonight away to Mon U, what yiz think? Seems a tad overpriced to me. Mon U got wallopped last week 4-0.

I'm all over it. Can't believe the price is still there as that was the best available originally.

[pineapple stu]

Add in Waterford beat Monaghan 6-0 earlier in the season too, and Monaghan's good run seems to be petering out (three losses in five now).

Must stick a couple of quid on that one, cheers.

[DmanDmythDledge]

Dundalk@2.6 vs Galway- 1pt.

Galway missing a few key players and Dundalk doing very well at the moment.

[Sam_Heggy]

My stupid bet of the week goes on:

Waterford, Harps, Shamrock Rovers wins Drogs and a Shels/Fingal draw.

€5 win me €149.24

Im also putting €5 on Derry to beat Bohs at 3/1.

Why not, sure €10 never killed me, yet :p

[Mr A]

Dundalk@2.6 vs Galway- 1pt.

Galway missing a few key players and Dundalk doing very well at the moment.

Chanced that one as well.

[Sheridan]

Have Drogs, Galway x Dundalk, Shels x Fingal and Wexford on the accumulator tonight. About 50-1. Confident about them all except Wexford.

[Raheny Red]

0.75 pts Double on Shels and Dundalk @ 6.04. 1 pt single on Shels @ 2.5 and 1 pt single on Dundalk @ 2.6.

0.25 pts single on D Crawley @ 11/1 to score anytime. He's a defender but he is also our peno taker so we will give him a go.

0.25 pts on the 0-0 in the Drogs v Bray game. This is will be a tight game with little or no goals and at the price it's worth it. Bray have only scored 4 goals away from home this season.

[Mr A]

Not looking bad at all RR. I did OK tonight, had Dundalk plus a small bet on Bray so happy enough.

[Raheny Red]

0.75 pts Double on Shels and Dundalk @ 6.04. 1 pt single on Shels @ 2.5 and 1 pt single on Dundalk @ 2.6.

0.25 pts single on D Crawley @ 11/1 to score anytime. He's a defender but he is also our peno taker so we will give him a go.

0.25 pts on the 0-0 in the Drogs v Bray game. This is will be a tight game with little or no goals and at the price it's worth it. Bray have only scored 4 goals away from home this season.

Happy fooking days :cool: - though I do have one regret. On the betfair forum I said if Bray reach the 5/1 mark I'd back them. They went to 6.2 about an hour before kick off but decided to pass it down. While drogs are in decent form, this was a relegation dog fight and the 1.72 on the home win was an absolute joke.

[eL Bettor]

8/11 was a standout price on Shams the other day, they are now out to 1.78 on betfair/daq and the asian bookies, is this an overreaction to the game being moved to Tolka from non-Irish gamblers I wonder, who regard it as a neutral venue?

[Raheny Red]

Finn Harps v Athlone Match

Finn Harps - A depleted Athlone side travel to an in-form Finn harps side tonight. Harps are in a rich vein of form of late, 11 points from 15 and also record an inspiring 2-1 win over Ipswich Town during the week. Athlone haven't won in Donegal since 1992. 1-0 home win.

Longford v Mervue Utd Match

Longford - Mervue have gone to ****e lately, conceding 19 goals in their last 4 games. Longford are no great shakes but should still come out on top with a convincing win. 3-1 home win.

Shamrock Rovers v Sligo Rovers Match

Shamrock Rovers - This game have been moved to Tolka Park due to the Real Madrid game and this have resulted in a price drift on the 'home' win. However, Rovers have played many games here as it became a sort of second home to the former homeless side. Rovers are bang in form while Sligo are well off the pace. Baker and Twigg could run a amok against a poor Sligo defence tonight. 2-0 Shamrock Rovers.

0.25pt treble on the above on Betfair @ 5.04 and a 1.5pt single on Rovers @ 1.82.

Finn Harps v Athlone Match

Finn Harps - A depleted Athlone side travel to an in-form Finn harps side tonight. Harps are in a rich vein of form of late, 11 points from 15 and also record an inspiring 2-1 win over Ipswich Town during the week. Athlone haven't won in Donegal since 1992. 1-0 home win.

Cheers, going for a small stake on this.

Backing Finn Harps (Ladbrokes) @ 1.83 - 1pt

However, Rovers have played many games here as it became a sort of second home to the former homeless side. Rovers are bang in form while Sligo are well off the pace.

0.25pt treble on the above on Betfair @ 5.04 and a 1.5pt single on Rovers @ 1.82.

Slightly apprehensive about this one now, with the venue change and the fact that we've signed a few players. However, our central defence is still crap so Shams should take the win.

[micls]

Had a Rovers/Longford double.

Also have an accumulator

Boo-urns. Well, only did this one coz I got slightly cold feet about the Shams. Live und learn!

[DmanDmythDledge]

****, never realised I didn't back Longford.:(

[Sheridan]

Poxy Athlone did me out of my modest treble (Shams -1, Longford -1, Harps.)

Poxy Harps conceding a late equaliser but Rovers ran out easy winner to end up with some more profit for this weekend's Irish footy.

How come you didn't put more on Rovers, RR? Would've thought you'd go in more heavily on a game like that.

[Longfordian]

Have few quid on a Longford, Harps, Waterford and Shamrock Rovers accumulator.

Harps let me down on this one but won a few quid on three different bets on the Longford-Mervue game placed at the last minute. Backed Longford -1 with €5, over 2.5 goals again with €5 and one I'd forgotten about until just two minutes ago when I checked my account €2 on Longford 3-0 at 12/1, just had a feeling about that score. All in all won me about €40.

[Raheny Red]

How come you didn't put more on Rovers, RR? Would've thought you'd go in more heavily on a game like that.

It looked like the bet of the week to me alright, but the Madrid game put me off going in heavier. Thought a couple of players would have been distracted by the game and take Sligo lightly. However, if they did that they would be absolute minnows, so fair play to the Rovers players giving it their all and then some.

[eL Bettor]

Looking at the in running odds for Kildare v Limerick and Kildare are out to 6/1 and Limerick into 8/11 with the game 0-0 after 32 mins ????

[brianw82]

Glad I steered clear of Mons v Waterford after all!
