Sligo Rovers 16/1
Shamrock Rovers 16/1
Dundalk 16/1

Fair play to them for having it up so early but they ain't giving much away either. Would love to lay Bohs at that price ;)

EDIT: Over round = 121.94 %

There's the money spinner in bold;)

Fancy Cork and Fingal as a couple of bohs best players are leaving this week , if Cork are refused a premier licence is it safe to assume that your stake would be refunded.

I bet on St Pat's to win their Setanta group in 2006 - Shels, Portadown and Dungannon - knowing that Shels were going belly up. When Shels withdrew and were replaced by Cork, my bet still stood. To be safe, you may as well wait and see who's in what division.

That�s a lie. Pats were actually Shels replacement in the Setanta Cup (having lost to Derry in the FAI Cup the year before)

You're right. Swap Cork and Pat's and you have my bet.

I did that exact same bet. Cork to win the group but then Pat's were snuck in instead of Shels and won the group. :(

For the record I backed pats to win the group at a ludicrous 4/1

Bohs
Rovers
Cork

Pats

Rovers and Bohs neck and neck in the tally so far but I have not finished running all the models yet. Another week or too and I'll make you all rich again.

Waterford each way might be worth a punt I reckon.

Boylesports still calling the league the Eircom 1st Division and Eircom Premier Division I see.. :rolleyes:

And they a major sponsor of the League too. You'd think they'd know better.

I'd lay Fingal at that price if i could get the chance. No way should we be 8/11. Evens at the tightest we ought to be. Waterford each way or Shels to win at those prices is what i'd consider.

I agree. It might take the Fingal team a wee bit to gel so I'm sure you'd get a better price on them after a couple of weeks in.

Fingal 8/11- go and ****e! If Waterford push out to 20s they'd defo get my ew money.

9/2 Shels looks good. Monaghan each way too.

Must be a really bad standard if we're third favourites with no players. :)

Those odds are right IMO. Sporting will run away the 1st Division

Nothing new there, sure your constantly starting with new squads every few seasons and always build pretty good new ones through your college scheme.
Bookies being cautious just based on past track record.

One of the great myths of Irish football.

We sell players, sure. But when we last went down, we lost four or five players tops. At present, it looks like we'll keep two or three of last year's squad, and play our A Team apart from that.

I'd have given us third with Matt Gregg. I still think we can come top half, and that Shels and Fungus will walk the league, with the latter winning.

You definitely produce much more players coming through your system than most other clubs, within a couple of seasons at most there will be a half decent squad there again. We seem to get a fair few ex-ucd players anyway ;)

Definitely, especially with everyone else coming back to reality. 2009's too soon though.

What are UCD's attacking options like this season?
03/02/2009, 1:12 PM

No idea. We scored a rake of goals in the A League last year, but the First Division is a bit of a step up. Dave McMillan (Evan's brother) and Conor Nangle were the forward pair last year; Keith Ward is a nippy winger who knows which way the goal is, certainly more so than Fitz.

Surely well worth a punt on Shels and/or Waterford and/or UCD just in case SF don't do the business/fall apart/go bust/fail to gel/spontaneosly combust/move the franchise to Dallas? They're decent odds for 2nd and 3rd favs.

Shels at 9/2 is grossly overpriced.

Hey lads, there are any other bookie who have odds for First Division Top 3? Because I can't register me at www.hacketts.ie/.

Edit: Have found this here: http://www.boylesports.com/betting/i...&slm=1448861.1

Is this the same like at hacketts.ie? I mean, would I bet on a team who reach the first three places or would I bet on the winner of the First Division?

Yes, you can. This is called 'each way' betting, you can see 'EW: 1/5 1,2,3' in the corner.
Waterford do look tempting for an EW bet, I must say!
