This forum has been quite for a long time. Anyone got any bets on tonight? I've put a tenner in my Paddy Power account and I'm hoping to use that for the season, if I don't lose it all tonight.
Bets this week;
Patent on
Finn Harps +2 (13/10)
Wexford Youths +1 (11/10)
Shamrock Rovers -2 (12/5)
Singles on
Bray Wanderers (15/2)
UCD (10/3)
Patteson to score Derry's first goal (11/4)
€3.56 profit. 9.23 back on the patent and 4.33 on UCD.
€13.56 in the pot after week one. I like a little patent and going to just go with one this week.
€1 patent
Derry City 8/13
Limerick 8/15
Longford 8/13
Tough week I think.
Went for Limerick -1 at 7/5 on Paddy Power. There's probably better odds out there too. Waterford have shipped a lot of hammerings in preseason and against Wexford in league and seem to be an absolute shambles.
Paddy Power's odds are not great but it's the only online account I have and I'm not going off to open a load of other ones just for an occasional flutter. That -1 bet is decent, not sure how Waterford will react after last week though. They might just keep it very tight.
My thoughts exactly- I would not be arsed having loads of different accounts. I do have a betfair account but often find that there is little available on division one games there.
Ouch! That was expensive. Did not see that coming at all.
Betting half my pot of €12.40 this week.
Dan Murray to score anytime €1 @ 12/1 Rovers weak point is defending set pieces and Murray is always likely to be on the end of one.
Bray Wanderers win €2 @ 4/1 Just a gut feeling
Shamrock Rovers (8/11) & Derry City (13/10) €3.20 Double
Went for Drogheda at evens and UCD at 3/4.
Had that slightly wrong I had 2.20 on Bray and 3 on the double. So €11 return and a new balance of €17.20 for next week. I was very nearly doing the draw in the Pat's game too which would have been nice, but let's not be greedy!
I got everything wrong. Again.
€17.20 the starting pot. Going mad with a 50c lucky 15!

Bray Wanderers (+1.0) @ 4/9
Total write off. Now back to just under my starting tenner.
€9.70 in the pot.
€4.35 double
Under 2.5 goals Shels v Pats @ 4/7
Over 2.5 goals Sligo v Dundalk @ 1/1
A nice win. Balance back up to €19.02, thanks to Danny North for the late 3rd goal in Sligo.
€19.02 the starting pot this week.
€2 Rovers win and Twigg any time @ 13/5
€1 Draw Double Athlone v Youths @9/4 and Monaghan v Drogs @23/10
€3.50 Cork City win @ 17/10
€3 Longford win @ 7/2
The Longford win means profit for the week. New balance of €23.02.
First bet this week is a €6 treble
Sligo Rovers
Shamrock Rovers
Shelbourne
Mainly because I made a mistake doing my bet for the work syndicate.
Might do something else later.
Just a small 2nd bet this week.
€3.02 double
UCD +1 (8/15)
Longford (1/2)
Disaster last week. Just a €1 patent this week.
Cork - Sligo draw
Waterford - Wexford draw
Drogheda - Shels draw
Couple of bad weeks and now only €7 in the pot. Betting half of it on two doubles.
€2 on Drogheda (11/10) & Longford (1/1)
€1.50 on Finn Harps (7/5) & Dundalk (17/10)
Plenty of value in the game between Harps and Athlone
http://www.paddypower.com/football/f...n-3715401.html
Athlone will be without Joe Woods, Ross Kenny and Paul Danaher who are all first choice full backs. Mark Sherlock will also miss out leaving us with only one recognised striker in Noel McGee. Youths will be called into squad to make up numbers.
Athlone last won in Ballybofey during the 1984/85 season
Almost forgot to do any bets, I've now put my curse on Longford -1, a whole euro on that and a massive 25 cent on a draw in the Harps v Athlone game. Try to build the pot back up slowly. Only 1.25 left if neither of those come in.
Nothing last week. My mathematical error above means I actually have €2.25 left in the pot so not as bas as I thought.
I came across this website during the week http://leagueofirelandinsider.com/ and I'm going to follow some of the bets to see if it will bring a change of luck.
€1 on Drogheda win
and €0.25 treble on Drogheda, Pat's -1 and UCD-Shels under 2.5 goals.
Decided to throw a whole massive euro on Drogheda, Crusaders, Longford, Shelbourne all to win. Figured why not. With potential returns of something like 67 euro, I'd be happy enough to be honest!
20 quid on an athlone/limerick double, got me 47.50, not bad
Toying with a Sligo, Derry Double might stay clear of the rovers' game thou bit hard to judge, will Crus seriously put up much of a fight to Derry if City play like they can?Quote:

The funds are almost gone. Didn't get a chance to post here before. I had two 25c trebles and they were both winning as the games went into injury time, then Bohs pulled one back to bust the unders bet and Jason Byrne equalised for Bray :(
I had - Cork, Sligo, Pat's
And - Twigg any time, Over 2.5 goals in Sligo and under 2.5 in Dalymount.
50c remains from my starting tenner. It'll have to be a remarkable turnaround.
