Matsunosuke, 14:45 Folkstone.

Big drop in class here and hasn't suffered too much with the handicap. Should win this one.

Considering the number of suspensions affecting Dundalk, I'm having a punt on Fingal at just better than evens on the Draw No Bet market tonight.

[holidaysong]

Against Drogheda tonight we've 3 out injured, with another doubtful. As well as that, we've 4 suspended. One of our better players Melligan has also left the club.

With this in mind I'm tipping:
Lay Dundalk at 1.82 on Betfair (larger bet).
Back Drogheda at 5.5 on Betfair (smaller bet).

If you don't have a Betfair account, the prices with Paddy Power are 2.0 for double chance draw/Drogheda or 4.75 just for Drogheda.

If you don't have a Betfair account, the prices with Paddy Power are 2.0 for double chance draw/Drogheda or 4.75 just for Drogheda.

Down to 8/11 on PP, best odds on the Drogs/draw double chance are now 17/20 with Ladbrokes. I'll take a piece of it, but not too much.

Bohs also have a few injury worries, some of you might consider 4/5 on a UCD win/draw with PP.

[brianw82]

Lads, Bray are massively over-priced away to Fingal tonight. For them to draw or win, that's 6/4 with PP. Through a bit of skillful manipulation using PP's draw-no-bet option and Betfair's draw market, I've gotten odds of about 5/2 on Bray picking up a result. Fingal seem to be fading a bit, conceding 4 against us without Amond is awful. I wouldn't read too much into their late fightback, we obviously were already in the dressing room with 15 mins to go! Bray have really picked up and are playing with nothing to lose right now.

Obviously this isn't cast-iron, but well worth a shot.

Don't know if anyone is following this, but a tipple on Sofia Arvidsson to win in straight sets might be decent today.

Have any of you ever had a stab at online tennis betting? My brother recommended it to me and I made £275 yesterday betting on one-sided games during play, building up my winnings from an original £300 stake and then continually re-betting what I'd won back on the next match like so:

http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc12/poguemahone85/bets.png

I've re-placed my £575 balance on match that already went in my favour last night and another player leading his lower-seeded opponent 6-4, 5-4 and serving to win the match at odds of 1/66. Play has been suspended until later today due to rain, but that will bag me another £15 or so, assuming nothing extraordinary happens. It's not a huge deal for the stake placed but I think tennis betting is something that is relatively risk-free and worth building up gradually over time, so long as you don't be too rash about it. I'd do a quick bit of background reading on the players involved and look at the stats of the game in progress before throwing money down.

I'd previously tried my luck with small-stake tennis accumulators but was undone by one or two results out of between 20 and 25 on those occasions. This is a new tack and seems much more reliable.

The fact there are only two possible outcomes (and no draws) increases your chance of predicting the correct result. Tennis (especially mens singles) is also more predictable as it relies on the ability of just one individual (or just two in doubles) rather than a team of 11 or whatever and there is plenty of opportunity for the stronger player to rectify the odd error here and there, whereas, say, one error that leads to a goal might decide a football match.

Heh Danny any tips then for the upcoming first round in Wimbledon?

[Spudulika]

I'll stick up a few tomorrow once the order of play comes up. Just have to avoid anyone we're looking after. THen again, most fell in qualies :-0

[Spudulika]

Won't speculate on the Rodionova match as I don't want to be seen as messing about. So, the following are bets that look fairly decent:
Federer to win over Ramos
Isner over Falla
Darcis over Rufin
Penetta over Giorgi
Peng over Zaniewska (torn here as the Pole is signed with us)
Tsurenko over Johansson (have little time for the Swde/French, she's good but the Ukranian should do it)
Pervak over Li (Ksenia's not been in great form but she's got a heap of points to defend so she's motivated, Li has hubby troubles)


Outside (kind of) bet
Golding to beat Andreev (the Russian is carrying an injury and not a grass courter)

Heh Danny any tips then for the upcoming first round in Wimbledon?

I'm afraid I only bet during play after I've seen how things are panning out and usually wait until the very last moment whilst the odds are still worth a bet before the match swings in one player's favour. I'll take a number of factors into account when placing the bet but I wouldn't bet on a match from the outset given the stake involved, whether I tipped someone to win or not. It's just a matter of being patient, gradually building up your balance and not doing anything rash. I've won another £300 doing this in the past two days.
