Dundalk vs. Monaghan tonight, Paddy Power offering Double Chance (Monaghan and the draw) @ 9-5. Not sure it's worth the outlay you'd need to turn a decent profit but those aren't bad odds considering this is the one game Monaghan seem to get themselves up for.

They're also offering 9-1 on a 0-0 scoreline. Considering the game starts 0-0 that's fairly generous...

[Sheridan]

I like the odds on Mauro Almeida to score for Sligo tomorrow. First/last goalscorer are both around 25-1 with PP and Boylesports. Assuming he's not injured or anything I think that's good value.

Don't forget game is on telly so there will be live betting on it too.

[Sheridan]

Anyone fancy PP's 150-1 on Pat's (or indeed Olimps) to qualify on a penalty shoot-out tonight? I don't expect it to happen but for a result which only requires a one goal swing it's worth a fire-and-forget punt of a euro or so, I think.

fingal to beat waterford united at 17/10 tonight??

or

fingal and drogs at 100/30 at pp!!

waterford were **** poor during the week and fingal have made some good signings!!

[deecay]

I hate Drogheda

[redobit]

heres an interesting bet i think:

Liverpool to win the league, with a 9 point head start, 10 to 1 with PP

[rambler14]

9 points! They could have a 20 point head start and they'd still bottle it!

[zenokelly]

9 points! They could have a 20 point head start and they'd still bottle it!

And for that to win, they also have to beat Spurs by more than 11, and Pomoey by more than 21! I don't think I'll be backing it:ball:

[ForzaWexford]

Liverpool to win the league, with a 9 point head start, 10 to 1 with PP

You got that all wrong, all teams are given a handicap. Man United 0, Chelsea 2, Arsenal 7.........etc etc..........Stoke City 54, Hull City 56. At the end of the season these amounts are added onto each teams final points tally. Liverpool are 10/1 to come top of this new table, not very good value imo.

[The Scientist]

any of ye think Sunderland are a good bet at 16/1??

41 points handicap.

finished on 39 points last year.

United won the league with 87 points. 7 point gap.

League in my opinion will be alot tighter this year. Sunderland are much improved than last year and i defo can see them going over the 40 points mark this season!!!

The HC betting is always interesting - for comparison purposes, the benchmark is an adjusted points total of 95 - 100. In 2006 West Ham won it with 105, 2007 Reading with 103 and last year Arsenal with 96 (NB i am using PP HC for 06 and 07 and betfair for last year).

Therefore, the guideline is to subtract the HC from 100 and ask yourself whether your team can win the remaining number of points. In the last 3 years the team with zero HC has been mid table.

Relegation fodder unlikely to do much - so it is the likes of Spurs / WH / Pompey / Bburn / Everton / City i.e. those sides that will positions 5 - 13 that you need to look at

[finnpark]

Middlesboro to be relegated.

Middlesboro are 16/1 with Skybet

[brianw82]

Sporting Fingal are at a very generous 5/6 to beat Kildare away tomorrow night with Willy Hill.
Strongly considering this one. Kildare took a pasting against Derry, and 2 games in 4 days for amateur and semi-pro players is a big ask. Fingal's players are mostly ex-PD, so they should be much too good.

[drinkfeckarse]

A nice treble that's caught my eye.... Aston Villa (5/6) away to Stoke, QPR (5/6) at home to Doncaster and then Coventry (5/4) at home to Bristol City. Combined odds of 7.5/1.

[brianw82]

Bohs are at an amazing 10/11 to beat Drogheda tonight with Stan James.

For a team that's won 16 out of 21 league games this season, those odds are insanely good.

[Sheridan]

Interesting handicap bet on Sligo-Drogs tonight with PP. Drogs -1 is 5/1.

[Sheridan]

Another interesting handicap on Real vs. BATE Borisov tomorrow. BATE +3 is 5-6. Anyone thinks that's worth a look?

Just had a look at the handicap table - I think Wigan are a great price at 14-1 with a HC of 43. I'd easily seem them reaching over 50 points, really solid team with a very good manager.

I'm on Bohs @ 2.02 against Rovers. There is a massive gulf between these and the league table tells its own story. Bohs are a massive 33 points clear of their arch rivals, Bohs on 67 - Rovers on 34 :eek:. Although this is a derby Fenlon's side should have plenty to do Rovers tonight. Bohs are looking for their straight tenth win now and have only conceded once in 9 games :eek: . Their defence and GK have been in flying form only conceding 8 times in 26 league games. This could well be hammering for the hoops, or will Nutsy be content with a draw :( ?? Would love to go this game but stuck in poxy work for Dundalk and Wolverhampton.

Bohs previous 9 games:

Bohemians 2 - 0 U.C.D
Bohemians 3 - 0 Cobh Ramblers
Bohemians 2 - 1 Shamrock Rovers
Cork City 0 - 1 Bohemians
Galway United 0 - 2 Bohemians
Bohemians 2 - 0 Drogheda United
Sligo Rovers 0 - 1 Bohemians
Bohemians 3 - 0 St Patricks Athletic
Bohemians 3 - 0 Finn Harps

Previous meetings between the sides this season:

Shamrock Rovers 0 - 1 Bohemians
Bohemians 2 - 1 Shamrock Rovers

Backing Bohs @ 2.02

This is very generous and defo a value bet. I could be wrong but I think Rovers have only won at home 4 times this season. Whoever is laying Bohs is crazy I feel.

Not much value in the First Division games today, but the HT/FT markets might be profitable. Double on Dundalk/Dundalk and Limerick/Limerick works out about 10-1 with most bookies.

[Sheridan]

I know, but they're a much better team so that = value in my eyes. Cross-season form is largely a matter of superstition.

Yeah, Mons goal on 44. Lost a lot of money there. :(

[Trainee]

Galway utd are 3/1 to beat cork city tonight in boylesports
Cork have aload of players out only have 13 fit players and Galway united have played really well in last 4 games and cork will be tired after Derry game on tuesday night so I reckon Gufc to win at 3/1 is a great price

[gaiscíoch]

Villa to beat Chelsea tomorrow 6/1

9/4 the draw between Shamrock Rovers and Bray tomorrow looks very tasty to me.

[holidaysong]

Dundalk at Evens tomorrow night against Wexford looks nice to me. I can see Wexford being on the receiving end of a backlash following our defeat to Longford last week. Also their best player Conor Sinnott is suspended..

Sporting Fingal 5/2 with PP to beat Dundalk tonight, 9/4 the draw. Smells like value to me, given Dundalk's form.

[bennocelt]

I have Galatasary to win uefa at 50.1 but think its less now
i think thats a decent bet, since they have a better team now IMHO than they had when they won it a few years back:)

[brianw82]

Wolves currently are a decent 13/10 with Willy Hill to beat Norwich away on Tuesday.

They've won 3 of the last 4 games at Norwich, and the other was a draw. They look to be getting back into a bit of form after their (slightly) sticky patch recently. Players returning from injury seems to have helped, they don't seem to have a lot of strength in depth.

If I haven't yet destroyed all my credibility, Udinese are a tasty 11/4 with a -1 handicap against an atrocious Spurs. Boyle sports.

[Raheny Red]

I'm just having a single on them @ 2.12 on Betfair.

Mons at evens to beat Longford at home tomorrow, Paddy Power.

Mons at evens to beat Longford at home tomorrow, Paddy Power.

I know monaghan are decent at home, but we only win away these days, so i fancy us tbh, think we're 11/5 on PP.

Taking a gamble on Cobh at 8-5 this evening.

[The Rebel Ram]

Galway 16/5 with Boyes to beat Derry. I don't think the Derry players will be going full into this match with the final around the corner.
Galway will deff be all out after Cobh lost.

[brianw82]

I placed an accumulator today on Chelsea, Man U, Rangers and Peterbrough. All won.

Came home to find out that I didn't press confirm on the betslip on ladbrokes.com, and hence I didn't place the bet. 500euro profit gone. I'm absolutely gutted.
