    League of Ireland +2.5 goals thread

    I'm going to start a tracker using this thread to see if I can make a profit with a €100 bank, backing 4 team over 2.5 goal accumulators in the League every week.

    Criteria is as follows:
    League games only.
    €10 per stake.
    4 team accumulator, minimum odds must be 11/1. ( odds will normally be higher )
    Looking for a 10% strike rate to break even!
    Need 1 win in the first 10 weeks or its over!

    Starting Bank €100.00
    Week 1 €10 +2.5 goals (bet365)

    Finn Harps v Cobh Ramblers 8/11
    Shelbourne v Athlone 23/20
    Shamrock Rovers v Bohemians 13/10
    Limerick v St. Pats 17/20

    €10 accumulator returns €158 (14.8/1)

    Some weeks there won't even be 4 games with more than 2 goals but the odds normally reflect this so hopefully any win at all will see a good return.

    Follow at your peril and sorry for starting a new thread but I always wanted to have a crack off something like this.

  2. Thanks From:

    Seeing as this thread is about +2.5 goals, I thought I would check out percentage of games that were over/under 2.5 goals since the league split into 2 divisions in 1985, and here are the results: (Does not include default 3-0 wins, but the actual score in the game)

    2.5 Goals Games %
    Over 4,607 45%
    Under 5,529 55%

  7. Thanks From:

    Here's a tip. Stop backing Derry to score goals.
    https://kesslereffect.bandcamp.com/album/kepler - New music. It's not that bad.

    LOL - yeah - but Limerick have played 4 home games this year - 3 have hit the 3 goal mark - the only exception being the Dundalk game that finished 1-1 - i think the 6/5 is fair enough and that game merits inclusion in the bet.

    at 0-2 at half time - I thought that one was in the bag! Sligo / Bohs was no good so it didn't matter anyway - another one bites the dust!

    Waterford v cabo to let you down there, I'd almost bet your house on less than 2.5.
