Hello!
I’ve looked through your topic about prediction league and found out that a lot of forum members predict Premier League matches very good. But are there are any players who is fond of betting on Irish football?
It is hard to find information about Eircom league in Russia that’s why if somebody is able to help me, please answer my questions (of course, if you are interested in my native championship, I’ll tell about it).
I’m interested in:
1. What local bookmakers (except Paddy power) allow to bet on Eircom league using Internet (so, I could get acquainted with their coupons)?
2. Are there any web-resources, which may help in betting? (Especially Irish forums, dedicated to betting)
Thank you in advance.

Boylesports.com have EL odds too. I'd imagine most Irish bookmakers with websites would.

Most english chans have a prescence in ireland and would have the odds too; Ladbrokes, Stanley Racing.

Try Terry Rogers too.

Thank you very much for your answers. I certainly know that leading English bookies (Will Hill, Ladbrokes and Bet365) give odds on Irish matches.
That's why I'll explain my questions (in short) :): to my mind local bookies are very interesting becuse they know Eircom Premier league much better then huge international bookies who are doing business on Champions League and Top 5 of the national championships (English Premier League, Italian Seria A, Spanish Segunda, German Bundesliga and French League). There knowledge may help the player to avoid potentialy dangerous bets.
A little example (match - Derry vs Shamrock):
odds (sorry, but decimal)
Paddy 2.00-3.25-3.25
WillHill 2.37-3.10-2.62. Result 1:0
May be the best specialists in the world (from WH) have lost to Paddy (I think Paddy knew much more about this game than Hill). :)
The difference in the probabilities was very serious. Many players who though that Derry would win used WillHill (not Paddy, because the odd was much higher) to bet money. And WH had to pay them.
PS TommyT: What is Terry Rogers? A haven't found it...

But I found SupremeOdds and SeanGraham. Are they good in prognosing?
