Went right into 6/4 but was thumped by the winner. My apologies :)Quote:

No I'm always a bit wary when it's their first run of the season but I'd be lying if I said if I was a big gambler anyway. I expect to lose every bet I place, that way I'm never disappointed :D
Ill remember that 1 when I see your future recommendations!!!:pQuote:

I fancy I could actually make a few quid off them on something as obscure as the j-league.
Nadal vs Djokovic Wimbledon final- 7/2.
http://www.oddschecker.com/tennis/me...-the-finalists
I put a fiver on Djokovic to win Wimbledon at odds 5/1 today.
Federer will win it.His odds weren't too bad before it started but he's about 4/7 now iirc.
5/1 serena williams to lose the first set against mauresmo and to win the match.
I should've posted this up long ago but anyone who is interested in medium-term bets, I believe that @ 9/2 (only with PP) that in the athletics section, Irish specials, Paul Hession to make the 200m final in the Olympics is great value.
I posted up in the Other sports section why I believe he will do it. I believe that realistically the odds should be around 6/4. He ran disappointingly last year in the worlds and finished 12th (only 4 places off a final place), and this year I believe he has improved enough to ease in to that 8 with his supere early season performances.
He has already come in from 10/1 so get in soon!
Unouself 5.20 Perth
You cost me a euro:mad: :DQuote:

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...
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.
He's not injured. To score anytime is a good bet on him as he comes up for set pieces. Don't forget game is on telly so there will be live betting on it too.Quote:

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!!
I hate Drogheda
heres an interesting bet i think:
Liverpool to win the league, with a 9 point head start, 10 to 1 with PP
9 points! They could have a 20 point head start and they'd still bottle it!Quote:

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).Quote:

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
Middlesboro to be relegated.
Middlesboro are 16/1 with Skybet
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.
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.
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.
Interesting handicap bet on Sligo-Drogs tonight with PP. Drogs -1 is 5/1.
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.Quote:

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.

Dundalk have a terrible record in Monaghan afaik, won't be too easy.Quote:

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
