Boyles Betting

7/2 Waterford
9/1 Bray
12 Limerick

25 Longford
25 Harps
33 Athlone
40 Wexford

Mons at 18/1 look attractive to me
Limerick at 12's not a bad bet!
Hope Derry are able to live up to their favourites tag and win the division, not an easy task though.
Derry should win it easy.
Only another 9 titles till Drogheda become pride of county louth!!!
Was hoping to see a bigger price on WUFC. The prices on the sides outside the top 4 are an absolute joke.
Who Cares?!
Genuinely think we're the value bet there.

im just waiting on delaney and milo (both waterford) and minister for sport (waterford) to announce if cork go down or out that the best club would be waterford as they have two stands, and munster for munster club etc
While Derry may win it, it certainly won't be easy. Some decent sides in First Division this year. Derry seem to have a decent first eleven, however, how they cope with injuries/suspensions remains to be seen. Shels will also be there or thereabouts but tend to blow it in the final few games. Waterford, for me, could be the Champions this year.
Up the Harps!!
How many places for each-way bet, and is it quarter odds? If so, will throw a few quid on Limerick at that price, 3/1 for top 3 (if that is how it works) has to be the value bet
"Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins."
"Homer Simpson, smiling politely."
Certainly not an easy task, just look at Shels. Stuck in Division One for a fourth season now and a lot of the teams are closely matched. Don't think Derry will go up this year, I'd rather see what the odds on them NOT getting promoted are.... it would seem like a better bet to me.
I think Shels will be there or there abouts again, and Waterford are probably the team I'd put money on. Limerick is a good punt at 12-1. Surely Wexford are worth more than the 40-1 odds being given!!
Weaseling out of things is important to learn, it's what seperates us from the animals!! Well... except for the weasel.
Wexford have lost too many of their best players to challenge, I think. Yer man gone to Pat's is the obvious example (so obvious I can't remember his name...)
Monaghan at 18s may be worth an each way shot. They had a great second half of last season; pretty much title-winning form throughout (last 15 games - W D W W L L W D D W W W W W W per soccerbot; 10-3-2). Don't think they've lost anyone they're worried about.
Edit - Conor Sinnott; that's the one.

considering the quality of signings we have made so far and TCs track record in the first div with Galway 25/1 for us is a good e/w bet...
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Like a few already said. I think its Waterfords year. Their team just ran out of steam last year and I doubt the same will happen this year.
Very competitive league this year so i think its a lot harder to predict who will be in the 1st div playoffs places for promotion.
As a Wat Utd fan, I still think we need ti sign a centre half and a goalscorer to replace Kenny Browne and Graham Cummins. If we can strenthen there we will be very hard to beat. Liam Kearney is going to be major addition to us this season. Shels will be hard to beat again this year and I think Monaghan could be the outsiders to watch.
I don't see the big hurrah about Waterford this year. They've lost Devine, Browne and Cummins, who together with Murray and Kiely, I would have considered their best 5 players. Shels will only be an improvement on last year. Keely realising that hoofing the ball isn't the way to play will bring the best out of a number of our players, Cassidy most of all, and we actually have a solid defence now, Ian Ryan is such a good defender, as is Gareth Whelan. Convinced it'll be a Shels-Derry 1-2, but couldn't predict the order.
