The premier odds look about right, although I don't know why Bohs are bracketed with the Drogs at 14/1. Good value for the Drogs but bad value for Bohs. Best bets of the lot would be to back Galway for the 1st division and lay Shamrock Rovers!!

Great value for us - going to throw a few bob on an each way bet

What's the point in betting on a team to win the league? If you fancy Shelbourne, are you going to give away money on the chance that you will get a paltry return in 11 months? Makes no sense.

Well I know somwbody who put 300e on drogs to win the cup at 10/1. Do you think it was worth the wait for him?

Well he must have money to burn. Backing an outsider at 10/1 to win the Cup and wait almost a year for a return is a stupid bet, he got lucky with Drogheda winning it. Anyone who gambles like that probably gives most of their earnings to Paddy Power anyway. Mugs game.

I'm sure this is an other guy who "wins more than he loses" though. Funny how everyone who gambles seems to claim that. From working in a bookies I know that is bull****, it is a license to print money, especially these football bets.

Probably, a bit like the lad I work with yesterday who did a 1 euro yankee (costing 11 euro) and got back over 1200 euro

of course yeah.

The bookies just give money away, you'll never see a rich bookmaker. These football bets are costing them a fortune, I wonder why they go to so much effort publicising them? Madness. If Paddy Powers and Ladbrokes are giving money away why don't they just give it to me?

Well in theory at least your bet lasts for a full season so you could call it a "value bet".

Great value on Drogs alright, defo put a few bob on them. Can't understand how Sligo are lower odds than Bray and UCD ? Does'nt make sense to me....

**shedhead** · 13/01/2006, 2:20 PM

**gustavo** · 14/01/2006, 12:52 AM

**RockofGibraltar** · 14/01/2006, 2:42 PM

Galway in from 8/1 to 6's

**pete** · 13/02/2006, 1:22 PM

As far as i can see the 1st division is pot luck with any of 6-7 teams in with a chance of winning whereas the Premier much smaller pool of potential winners.
