Just about right i suppose. we'll have to prove them wrong!

[patsh]

Given Longford's record in cup competitions, their price seems generous.

Of course this is an international competition, so maybe the price is a bit mean?.....;)

[pete]

10/1 is great odds for Longford.

[holidaysong]

Yup 10/1 on Longford would be a nice bet.. especially if they got in a group with two of the northern teams.. when is the group draw anyway?

[fosterdollar]

Lads, are you able to get these odds on the websites of these bookies? Furthermore can you place bets now? I can't find Setanta Cup offers on PP, gamebookers or Boylesports

Nope was wondering that myself... They give the best price of 6/1 I have found on Dundalk though for the first division title..

Check out Laddies for some decent bets on the EL. Their handicap betting is interesting:

Shelbourne (Scratch) 8/1
Cork City (+4 points) 8/1
Bohemians (+7 points) 8/1
Drogheda (+14 points) 8/1
Waterford (+20 points) 8/1
Longford (+20 points) 8/1
Derry (+25 points) 8/1
Shamrock Rovers (+25 points) 8/1
St Pats (+25 points) 8/1
UCD (+31 points) 8/1
Finn Harps (+31 points) 8/1
Bray Wanderers (+38 points) 8/1


Even with that handicap I've no quams taking 8/1 on Shels, with a saver on Longford.

You must like throwing your money away :D

Im going to take a trip to Belfast myself to watch the games.
Never support any other team usually but I hope Cork win it....Would never wish any Irish league team well and despise $hels and Longford.

[max power]

how many of the clubs taking part are actually taking it seriously ???? i know we are but europe is more of a focus for shels and the northern teams will be strong with the fact that they are in the flow of their season compared to us.

[eirebhoy]

St Pats (+25 points) 8/1
That is a bet and a half. We finished 26 points behind Shels last season, it can only get better IMO.

Actually, they have to beat all the handicaps is it? If so forget it. BTW, I wouldn't put any bet on if thats the case, I can't see Shels beaten all 11 handicaps.

Shels are definitely taking it seriously, at 150,000 for the winner everyone will take it very very seriously.

[De Town]

I reckon all the teams involved will take the Setanta Cup seriously because of the money involved.

I doubt it, I'd say it's just a bet that e.g. Bohs will finish less than seven points off the top.

[eirebhoy]

I doubt it, I'd say it's just a bet that e.g. Bohs will finish less than seven points off the top.
But then would Shels be 8/1?

BTW, Ladbrokes have slightly better odds for the Eircom league clubs in the Setanta cup.

Shelbourne 5/2
Cork City 11/4
Glentoran 7/2
Linfield 7/2
Portadown 7/1
Longford 12/1

[Coltron]

They have to beat all the handicaps. For example, take last years league table and add all the handicaps to it and whoever is on top then wins.

[Schumi]

But then would Shels be 8/1?
True, you must have to beat each team's handicap, liable to get a bit confusing!

[eirebhoy]

They have to beat all the handicaps. For example, take last years league table and add all the handicaps to it and whoever is on top then wins.
Right, cheers. So last if you put those handicaps on last seasons table Waterford would have won with 70 points. I'd still go with Pat's this season. :)
