Mervue U. 11/5 Draw 11/5 Waterford U. 11/10

---------

Any tips? :D

I'm never looking near bookies again after passing up the opportunity to back Harps at 25/1 last week to beat Waterford 2-0.

Wexford and Mervue are the serious value bets, I'll def be putting something on those 2 for wins.

Longford are huge at 7/2

Even huger at 13/1 to win 1-0

Cork City at 17/10 looks generous - though we have been poor

Lost both your away games. Bos defence looks OK. Price is about right

if anyone took that bet its beginning to look a decent shout. Yeah I know we could well lose the next few and feck it all the good work away, but I wish I put a tenner on it now!

For those who don't follow, longford were 9-1 at the beginning of the season. The new odds are probably about on the money, not a snowballs it will be anyone but us or Lims top by the end, wexford are doing very well but I doubt they'll be able to keep it up all season, and the same can probably be said for us but who knows!

Any opinions on the Galway el Classico tonight?
I have seen neither team play this season but have been reading match reports and it seems that Salthill have been much better.
Even when gaining a point versus inconsistent Waterford last week, Mervue never really seemed like troubling them.
I'd have Salthill favourites at what is essentially a neutral venue but Mervue have been backed in massively.
A lot of the money behind the price moves in the LOI comes from outside of Ireland from gamblers who bet based on the limited knowledge available to them.
I'm guessing the money is coming based on the news of 3 Salthill suspensions and 2 players who played for Ireland schools in Wales last night.
However Mervue also have injuries and suspensions.
Salthill are approaching 3/1 on betfair now which seems madness to me.

Fully agree with your analysis, which unfortunately probably means you're wrong :)

Athlone look decent odds to win against a very flaky Waterford side as well.

Thanks Mr A :)
I've already backed Salthill and Salthill DNB at lower odds, trying to resist the urge to bet more!

Tempted to go with UCD DNB against Bohs. Not sure why a team that has scored 1 goal in 6 league games are favourities in an away game.

I cant see anything other than a mervue win tonight eL Bettor.

Any reason Terry?

Are Bray really a 9/1 shot against Rovers? Jason Byrne's been knocking a few in for them, clearly going to be up against it but price does seem high. I won't be first in line to back them mind :D

odds on Bohs win look iffy as well. Mons 4/1 to win or 5/2 draw not the worst bet (expect Roddy will have them well up for it on his latest return to Dalymount, especially after Cork result).
In the past shams often struggled at bray so odds seem generous , especially 4/1 draw :o

Cork to beat Sligo at 5/1 has to be very very tempting.

Yeah I think that is a big price, I also think we are overpriced away to Drogs.

That's a great bet. We're not playing well at all.
