2006 Premier League betting

**JW.** · 12/12/2006, 10:56 AM

Anyone like to give it a go? Given the doubts about Shels vis-a-vis players, it's very tough but I'll have a tough stab.

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

**hoops1** · 12/12/2006, 11:07 AM

Not very observant are you

**JW.** · 12/12/2006, 11:08 AM

I'll give you 66-1 Trainee.

My money would be firmly on Shels winning it on goal difference from Derry on the last day of the season.

2007 might be a whole different ball game though.

Have to agree with you on that

I think that Cork are slightly too big.

**JW.** · 12/12/2006, 11:22 AM

Of course what I meant was "2006" betting on next year's league - ie the book will be closed at the end of the month.
Or so it would seem

**galwayhoop** · 12/12/2006, 11:55 AM

do you want a shovel there JW

i'm also going for shels to win on goal diff from derry and will double it up with both managers departing before the new year

**JW.** · 12/12/2006, 11:57 AM

The shovel analogy is apt alright!
Will be interesting to see the firms' prices. Drogheda and Derry are my favs next year anyway.

Nice odds those. Put me down for 10,000 euro on Shels. I will even travel to Inchicore to pick up my winnings.

As long as you travel with the 10,000 euro as well

In Inchicore? You must be crazy.

I think this 2006 thread needs to be sticky

**wws** · 12/12/2006, 12:03 PM

You can add cork to that list of top 3 contenders - you've priced them up wrong

perhaps deliberately to see if anyone spots the value?

**JW.** · 12/12/2006, 12:04 PM

I don't think Cork are wrong at 4-1. Very thin squad and will need a few additions, assuming O'Flynn doesn't exceed his 10pc quota of games or whatever it is next season.

**wws** · 12/12/2006, 12:07 PM

If cork hadnt lost in Bray they basically would have gone into the last game level with Derry and Shels with a better GD (or so I'm led to believe -possibly ballocks!)

therefore incorrect and indeed wrong price IMO for a team that will receive a cheque from Mr UEFA- will have new investors
and will probably splash the cash as well
