2006 Premier League betting

According to the Post today, Hills have betting on it. Predictably enough, I can't find it though on their website.
They were shortish Shels and Derry, but 6-1 Drogheda and 16-1 Bohs. In the First Division, they were 11-2 Harps.

and cork?

Drogs 6/1 is nice
they really will have the strongest squad

**JW.** · 12/12/2006, 1:50 PM

Stuey 'I'm Angry Tony' Byrne is a big addition to Drogs, plus they started off by putting the Finnish-ing touches to their squad with that goalkeeper
Likely more to come and a fit Fabio
6s definitely big
Cork were 3-1 or something like that

Now now, don't be fighting.

UCD are greater scuds - 0 -0 when we played them at the brandywell (twice I think)

whilst Shels were guffing them 6!

5-2 Derry City
3-1 Drogheda
4-1 Shelbourne
4-1 Cork
7-1 Bohs
25-1 Anyone else

Cheques etc to WardBet, 90 The Tramyard, Inchicore, D8

I'll have 10k on Shels to win the 2006 Premier League.

incorrect Lofty

statistically UCD drew 0-0 8 times - therefore the result was niether singular nor unexpected

**JC_GUFC** · 12/12/2006, 2:00 PM

Can't believe I wasn't the first to pick up on this!

I thought Waterford looked big to win Division 1 next season.

**JW.** · 12/12/2006, 2:16 PM

What price were Waterford - 5/2 or something?

Yes. We cost you the league twice (and Cork twice, Drogheda once and Sligo three times), end of competition.

them odds are ridicilious. and thats me being nice.

They seem pretty sensible to me. 25-1 on a bottom-half of the League team with who don't seem to be spending much and a newly promoted team.

In fairness its hard to look outside the top 4, even for Bohs.

**DvB** · 13/12/2006, 7:41 AM

I still reckon Drogheda for all their shiny new additions have a major disadvantage, Paul Doolin, i can see him making a dogs danglies of the league no matter how big or talented his squad is!

I'll be backing Derry next year personally with Dundalk to win the first division unless Waterford make some shiny new signings of their own!!

**Dodge** · 13/12/2006, 8:35 AM

Agree with DvB.

Also having 4 teams on 4/1 or less is disgraceful from any bookie. Even mde up ones

Drogs at 6/1 super price with W Hills, i'd say get on. Other prices are Derry 15/8, Shels are 2/1 and Cork are 5/1. My advice is get on Drogs. They are only 4/1 with boylesports

**JW.** · 15/12/2006, 8:31 PM

Given the strength of the top four, it would take a huge effort for anyone else to win the league in one season having not challenged for a few years. Bohs at 16-1 with Hills remain a speculative punt because of the money influx.
Drogheda definitely look big at 6-1. My prices were rough enough but they're similar to Boyle's.
