1-0 after 4 minutes. Grant getting the goal. Fingers crossed for a couple more to put them out of sight.

[ForzaWexford]

Dungannon 0 Drogs 4
Cork 2 Cliftonville 0

Smiles all around! Thanks for pointing the Drogs game out JC. Up 9 points, more or less, here.

[Raheny Red]

Peter Thompson to score first tonight with Celtics @ 7s. If he goes on to score twice it's doubled :cool:

[drinkfeckarse]

Liverpool 5/6 away to Fulham is decent value IMO. Evertons result last night may not have helped as Rafa may rest one or 2 but they should still have more than enough to cope with anything Fulham can throw at them. Spurs away to Wigan at 8/5 is decent if they can actually be arsed on the day.

[anto1208]

I came across a bet last night for the first goal to be scored after the 29th minute at even money. Had it last night i felt everton and chelsea where going to be hard to break down. they arent playing at the weekend but agaisnt Villa on the 26th it could be worth looking at or simliar type of teams. Boro bolton maybe ?

Think ill do that liverpool one.

[ForzaWexford]

I fancy Villa to get something at Everton today, and am having 4 points on them draw no bet at 5/4.

[ForzaWexford]

I fancy Barcelona to get something at United today, and am having 4 points on them draw no bet at 7/4.

Its the curse of the thread again both looked good on paper !

Tonight ive 1-1 and the first goal to be scored after 30 mins

[anto1208]

Thats not bad going think ive broken my curse anyway , my last 7 euro in the account went on last night , thought that was my betting done for the season as i wont put more than 20 euro in to the seasons account.

had 2 on 1-1 @ 9-2 and after 30 mins was even money 5 on that not up to the handsome figure of 21 euro for the weekend. Thank god ive lost about 400 in the last few weeks ( around the time i started loosing on this thread :D ) But ive won over 2 grand now from the initial 20 so its not too bad.

Back on the winning trail Anto, every little helps!

[thischarmingman]

Have backed Rangers (outright) and Dundalk to win tonight. First bet online (at Ladbrokes) so placed each as a single rather than as a double.

[anto1208]

Hey is that a dig about tesco ;)

[TheBoss]

Have backed Rangers (outright)

I can not see Rangers scoring in the game, I think La Viola will win 2-0 or 3-0

[ForzaWexford]

Its the curse of the thread again both looked good on paper !

Ah well, got my money back on the Villa bet and United qualified for the final so could have been worse.

Dare I say it, but Monaghan at 2/1 with some of the English firms are value to beat Kildare on Monday. The Mons had a good win against Sporting Fingal last week and Kildare are losing 6-0 to Dundalk at the minute. Granted Monaghan have to play Waterford tomorrow but I can see the Irish firms going 6/4 or so.

[thischarmingman]

Dundalk my safe bet tonight.

Going for Bray, Drog, Derry, Waterford, UCD wins tomorrow. Eur5 pays out 100.

[sligoman]

Have backed Rangers (outright)What odds did you get?
I think La Viola will win 2-0 or 3-0:p

[TheBoss]

Well, if you look at stats and the way the game went, Fiorentina were the better team and with some better luck would have won it easily. Rangers defend for 90 mins in both games and yet get to a final, crazy.

Told you: :D

Hey is that a dig about tesco ;)

I'm not clever enough for that Anto but now that you mention it, I'll claim it :D

[thischarmingman]

What odds did you get?:p

5-1. Threw a fiver on it, won said fiver back on the certainty of Dundalk beating Kildare.

[Raheny Red]

Over 2.5 goals in the Boro game @ 11/8

[anto1208]

Paddy power are giving back all loosing bets if ronaldo scores in the final tonight i presume with in 90 mins.

[sligoman]

I've backed Utd to win 2-1. Hopefully Ronaldo scores at least so I get me refund:)

[holidaysong]

I did the same bet, it cost them €1.5m!

[sligoman]

it cost them €1.5m!Delighted to hear that:D Ronaldo was always likely to be the one to score so was a big risk that they'd lose.

[anto1208]

In a game like that there would be as much money on chelsea as utd so they wouldnt have lost really still nice to see them take a hit !!!

[Schumi]

considering Italia allways lose there opening game it was a great price. Did RTE not say on commentary that it was the first time since 94 that they'd lost their opening game?

[Dodge]

Euro 96 beat Russia 2-1
WC 98 drew 2-2 with Chile
Euro 2000 beat Turkey 2-1
WC 2002 beat Ecuador 2-0
Euro 2004 drew 0-0 with Denmark
WC 2006 beat Ghana 2-0

[TheBoss]

I think that France might win it, Holland were lucky to beat Italy imo, they were never in control, only scoring on the counter attack, the French should be more difficult to play against despite their first game.

[Raheny Red]

I had croatia to win at 9-2 all typed up here yesterday and just as i was going to hit the post reply button i gave in to the curse and didnt post it !:D



I'm sure the Croats were available at 6s on Betfair yesterday afternoon.....

[centre mid]

I know its easy in hindsight but France were awful tonight, devoid of ideas (apart from last 10 mins of first half), Henry booting Van Persie was a case in point. Holland were fabulous from an attacking point of view. Jasus if only Ireland could play like that.

Its hard to pick a winner right now, I'd lay Portugal and Spain, both I think will be found out defensively against good sides. The Germans are hurting now and will spank Austria in the 3rd group game. This may sound crazy but the Italians will probably beat France and sneak through as Romania wont get anything against Holland (the dutch wont leave any gaps). Might be value each way now.

Could be one of those mad years where Sweden or the Czechs win it

[anto1208]

To win it i reckon Holland,germnay or Croatia

Spain at 6-4 today

[anto1208]

Russia are pretty good value tonight 12-5

&

Over 2.5 goals in the match should be even money

[TheBoss]

I agree, Russia are real good value there and 2.5 goals, is a real contender.

[TheBoss]

Derry @11/8 v Bohs, of which Bohs are playing a weakened team.

[bennocelt]

Derry @11/8 v Bohs, of which Bohs are playing a weakened team.

noticed that one myself:)
that and the fact that Bohs have a euro game this weekend

[DmanDmythDledge]

Derry @11/8 v Bohs, of which Bohs are playing a weakened team.
Was that with PP? Was 6/5 when I got there. Still great odds though, put €20 on it. Cork at 17/10 is seems good too, put them in a double with Derry.

[TheBoss]

That was odds on Ladbrokes earlier, its now 6/5 there.

[anto1208]

Sligoman will you stop deleating posts no one cares if some one mentions in passing a bet they looked at.

The biggest joke was deleating the one where i was talking about the curse on this thread putting me off posting the bet that turned out to be a winner.

There is nothing more annoying than poor over modding.

I guess that rule was set up to stop people posting "this one time 4 years ago i won a 15 match accumalator" rather than people saying i was going to back germany then i backed spain.


Sort it out

[sligoman]

You were told about it before yet you still do it. If you don't like them, don't post (http://foot.ie/showpost.php?p=632927&postcount=1).

[bennocelt]

can Mooney make it another double? he is 10/11 to score anytime, but 7/2 to do it twice looks like a good bet. But to make it safe just go for the one goal:)

Drogs to score two goals...............4/5, not great but still

PP for my odds

[TheBoss]

Is this thread beginning to lift the curse :D

[bennocelt]

Do you think we should all lump our winnings on Luca Toni winning next seasons Golden Boot, im sure he would be a lovely price?:)

[Raheny Red]

Here's my value bet.

Shelbourne -V- Limerick

Once again I'm siding with the opposition. I think the 11/2 on Limerick is over priced and got them at 6.6 and 7.2 on Betfair. They have hit a nice bit of form lately while Shels haven't been at the races since we finished up before the break. IMO Limerick should be closer to 4s and I have feeling they may just sneak something from Tolka Park tonight. They've brought in a shed load of players recently which can only help their very young squad. The prices were too good for me to ignore...

wowowowowow, Excellent. take a bow:):)

[TheBoss]

See, the thread is starting to deliver :D

[bholg]

Not sure how deep the malaise at waterford is..... 'da yoof' at 12/5 to beat them at home (boyles) may be worth a few quid.... ?

[DmanDmythDledge]

They will have a full squad at the weekend, apparantly. Don't know what their situation with injuries/suspensions is like.

[The Scientist]

after accumulating a nice profit from Bohs and Zagrab this week.

what about throwing ur winnings on FC Copenhagen tonight?? again 2/5

Corks odds are tempting at even money

Banker for the weekend is the GAAAAAAAAAAA

WATERFORD (HURLING)
DUBLIN (FOOTBALL)
ARMAGH (FOOTBALL) 1.31/1

[bennocelt]

as i said before 2/5 isn't a tip. How much do you recommend putting on this tip, a few hundred maybe for the working man!!!


888 sport are giving 2/1 for Cork City

i got FC Nordsjaelland to win away at 1.66 (not great i know:)) but treble it up with something

[bennocelt]

I'm in a good mood now, so feck it I backed Mooney to score 2+ goals at 13-1 with PP:)

(Dunne at 15/2 for A/T scorer?????)
