LOI Round 19

[Raheny Red]

As well as my unders bet on the Shels game I'm going to have a small bet on Wexford Youths away to Limerick. Limerick have a decent record against them but Wexford are the better side and @ anything above 3.4 they are worth a bet imo. Backed Wexford @ average odds of 3.8 on Betfair - 1.5 pts.

[Sheridan]

UCD-Shels looks a nailed-on draw to me. Sorely tempted to back Kildare @5/2 against Mervue. Mervue have conceded 17 in last four, Kildare 7.

[The Betting Man]

I wouldnt back Kildare now at 5/2 considering they were 7/2 9/2 and 7/1 before now

[brianw82]

Did anyone go for Drogheda after all?

[brianw82]

Rovers are on a great run, unbeaten in 2 months. Everything about the club is rosy at the moment, and with Gary Twigg talking about a new deal, they should have too much for Bray. The home side just haven't been able to get any results recently, and will be reeling from the decision of star man Paddy Kavanagh to leave for Rovers. I'm not sure of the details but it looks like he's leaving. Rovers are very much dark horses right now, and I'd expect them to be a bit more visible after Friday.

Backing Shamrock Rovers to win (Betfair) @ 1.88 - 3 pts

Looked like a hardfought 2-1, but I'll take that. Up and at them.

UCD -v- Shelbourne

First against Second here in the First Division. Shels are currently in the driving seat with a point advantage and a game in hand. This should be a tight nervy affair with neither side giving too much away, both sides would be content with the draw. In the last meeting between the sides the Students ran out 3-1 victors in a game where Shels were not at the races. I can't see so many goals this time around and unders looks very good to me. Below are the results of games between Shels & UCD against their fellow promotion challengers to date. There's not alot of results to go by but we'll give a low scoring game a shot. I was expecting to see unders @ 1.67 or thereabouts, 1.79 on Betfair looks very generous to me in what should be a cautious game.

Sporting Fingal 0 - 1 U.C.D
Shelbourne 1 - 3 U.C.D
U.C.D 0 - 0 Waterford United
U.C.D 0 - 1 Sporting Fingal

Waterford United 0 - 1 Shelbourne
Shelbourne 1 - 3 U.C.D
Sporting Fingal 1 - 0 Shelbourne
Shelbourne 1 - 0 Waterford United

Backing under 2.5 goals @ 1.79 (Betfair) - 2.5 pts

As well as my unders bet on the Shels game I'm going to have a small bet on Wexford Youths away to Limerick. Limerick have a decent record against them but Wexford are the better side and @ anything above 3.4 they are worth a bet imo. Backed Wexford @ average odds of 3.8 on Betfair - 1.5 pts.

One right, one wrong - can't complain though as there was slight profit....

[Sam_Heggy]

God damn UCD. I put on a mad bet of €5 in the hope that 4 results go my way and look where it gets me. Surely it wasn't too much to ask for.

Kildare and Galway both come up for me then the damn students.......

I should have just gone with the Galway/Kildare double that I had intended in the first place.

[Longfordian]

Bloody Pats. The most unpredictable team in the division surely. Beat Cork away and lose to Galway at home in the space of a few days. Shamrock Rovers appear to be the most consistent at the moment though no doubt should I ever back them that will change!. Could do with them losing to Newcastle tomorrow, shouldn't be too much of an ask given they're playing the reserves.

[DmanDmythDledge]

So am I the only one happy tonight then?

[pineapple stu]

Got on Kildare and Rovers thanks in part to this thread, so no, not really. Though would have been nice to get Kildare at higher than 5/2. And I was tempted by Galway beating Pat's, but purely because they'd won the previous two times too. Didn't see them actually doing it.

(Although after watching that excuse of a football team kick us about for 90 minutes, I'm not sure if I can really be counted as happy tonight!)

[brianw82]

So am I the only one happy tonight then?

No.

[DmanDmythDledge]

Did anyone go for Drogheda after all?

Just noticed they won- thought it finished 0-0. ******.

[Raheny Red]

So am I the only one happy tonight then?

Over the ****ing moon me

[anto1208]

Derry have a lot of injuries, the 9.8 on Drogheda on Betfair looks tempting...

Thanks

Beacuase of the rules i cant post the bets i won with though.

did 4 from here 3 came off

[Raheny Red]

Are Cork backable @ 11/10 this evening?

[Rovers fan]

It's a very hard one to predict tbh. personally I can see it being a draw. Obviously after the european trip the lads will be tired but on the plus side we will have two strikers in our squad for this game, which has been our biggest problem this season. Turner is a big fella, just what we need, and he looked decent against drogheda. The other new signing, matthew blinkhorn, is supposed to be very good. I also feel we are more effective when boco is allowed a deeper role. Added to that cork have been poor recently, with pressure mounting on Doolin. They are without Gamble aswell.

[DmanDmythDledge]

Are Cork backable @ 11/10 this evening?

It's tempting alright as it is Sligo's fourth game in 10 days and they have a small squad.

Peers and Morrison are doubtful for Sligo, Dennehy and the foreign centre back out for Cork. Both teams have been getting crap results lately so it's a tough one to call.

Gamble is only doubtful. Cork will still have better options in centre mid even if he is out.

[Raheny Red]

I think I'll stay away from the win markets, both sides have a few negatives and not many positives so you can't side with either team. Unders may be a safe bet.

[Raheny Red]

Sligo Rovers -V- Cork City

At first I was going to back City here for the away win considering Sligo only arrived back from Albania yesterday morning but I've changed my mind. Cork are too defensive and are without Joe Gamble tonight. Doolin is really under pressure these days and this could be a nervy one tonight for his squad. Also, these sides only met each other a couple of weeks ago in the cup, both ending in a draw (one of them the replay, obviously). Both sides haven't got much going for themselves at the moment and I can't back either side in this one. I predict a low scoring game for this. They've played each other 4 times already and on 3 occasions the half time result have been a draw.

Backing:

Under 2.5 goals @ 1.72 (betfair) - 1pt
Draw/Draw @ 5.6 (betfair) - .25 pts

[bennocelt]

Jesus man a difficult one to bet on - but fancy a punt so I'm going with Cork to keep a clean sheet at 7/5
and F Kuduzovic to score A/T 13/5 - hoping that former players strike against old club again bet thingy
