    Irish Football betting thread.

    Odds here http://www.paddypower.com/football/i...grp_ids=104106

    Bohs are favourites at 13-10. Even though I support them I think the best bet is St. Pats to win the league at 10-1. I think it will be a 2 horse race between Pats/Rovers. I am basing this on some grumblings that Bohs have a mountain of debt and will hit the wall during the season.

    Mods I feel this deserves a seperate thread but if you's want to merge it into the general football thread I dont mind

      Bohs have a mountain of debt but 0% chance of us hitting the wall during the season. I will give you 12-1 on Pats if you like.

          You'd be mad to back the stains.

          Layed my mate evens for Bohs over xmas - delighted with that .

          Anyway, any Dundalk fans on here? Considering a sizeable lump on them for the first game away to Bray.

            NAP of the year. Dundalk to beat Bray at 11/10. Biggest bet of the year for me. Dundalk have got a handy squad together while Bray prepared for the 1st division with a young squad, got promoted last week when Cork went caputt but will definitely struggle. Bohs had a comfortable 7-3 win against them in preseason.

            Cork are putting a squad together at the last second. Derry have a good mixture of experience and youth, 4/5 is a great price.

              avoiding derry game myself - think cork scrambled quickly enough to get a team, although 4/5 not terrible price

              agree on dundalk bet - its massive price. taking it into 1.75 and you still wouldnt be missing value. although expect bray to strengthen next week, 10 players training with them that should be signed by next week - average prem plyers at best, but still better than what they have

              Ucd and Mon are too big prices also

                Going to wait till Friday before making a call on Derry, Cork announcing signings non stop at the mo.

                Agree with you on UCD and Mons, both have good squads together.

                Non of the players in talks with Bray are good enough to trouble Dundalk.

                  Pats Smats!
                  Pats will be 4th/5th/6th and happy with it

                  First/2nd between Bohs/Shams

                  3rd/4th between Sligo Rovers and Franchise(dependant on how they start?)

                  5th/6th Pats and Fundalk

                  rest...

                  Not sure what to make of Sporting so hard to say if they will have a good season or not, bookies are way short on them for the league imo

                  spotted one bet that might be a rick, will post it up here for all ye whores to laugh at AFTER i get on (my account with this bookie online is a mess so doing it in the shop)

                    God bless Boyles they have Sligo rovers Ex Shams player Amond priced up as a Shams player for first goal scorer betting

                    Unless they know he is a plant of course?

                      agree they wont trouble dundalk, but i dont even think theyll get signed before this game. Their manager seems to be conceding on the game already, according to a few of teir players, frantically trying to bring in other (duds) to improve his team. Home advantage normally means alot to bray, but having shipped out their three best defenders and going on pre season form theyre letting more in than any other team.

                      What you think of bohs for the season? bit over priced again? Dont think ill touch them against fingal at 4/9 although id say theyll be very hard to beat in Dalymount

                        Was this your rick?

                        Id say its more a "palpable error". Cant see you getting paid on this one if it lands, wouldnt go too mad on it

                          No thats not it
                          You couldnt get paid on anything like this and even if you could, what bet could you make?

                          to score an OG?
                          33/1 or 66/1 on an OG in most games i think
                          and anyhu isnt he playing for Utd this season

                            Best squad I have ever seen assembled in the league. Won every game pre season. Putting all my spare cash on the world cup or Id be on them for the league at 13/10 big time. I honestly couldn't name our best starting 11, there's massive competition for places in every position. We have better keepers and far better strikers than Rovers, its close in defence and midfield where both are very strong although again we have more strength in depth. Losing Fenlon in the summer is the only thing that I could see stopping us from winning the league.

                            Fingal have struggles preseason, took penalties to beat Longford in the league cup and drew with Monaghan, think it might be too early in the season to be taking 4/9 though.

                              the rick...?

                              P Amond of Sligo Rovers is 16/1 General to be top scorer in the Prem this year
                              I think that about a fair price (might even be a bit generous)

                              He is 33/1 With Lads

                              They dont price Irish football right,in particular Sligo Rovers (thank god )


                              The Bohs lads should share the goals between then imo!...?
                              which leaves Twigg as deserving favourite

                              However Amond will be playing up front in an attacking team (with an actual back 4 this season) who should play well
                              Blinkhorn who is a shorter price with Lads is a link/target man
                              Sligo Rovers have a good shot at 3rd/4th this season which makes him a pretty decent bet at 16/1 and defo worth a couple of points ew at 33/1

                              Raff; a winger, did alright playing up front for Rovers last season

                              Amond 2pts ew Top LOI Goal scorer 33/1 lads!

                                  Salthill Devon vs Athlone Town

                                  Premier division, I'll predict the results. Bohs win, Bray draw, Drogheda draw, Pats win, Rovers draw. Thats IMO.

                                        I can tell you Scully has assembled a decent squad for Limerick this season bringing back ex Shamrock players Colbert and Kelliher along with Shane Clarke and Shane Tracey (ex Arsenal and Galway). Drawn with UCD and beat Fingal behind closed doors pre season. Mervue havent improved a whole pile afaik.
                                        10/11 with Laddies haven't even looked elsewhere yet.

                                        Limerick/Dundalk double and two singles for me

                                          Have lumped on Dundalk - 4 units. Considering uping it to 6 units.

                                          Anyone got any reason why they shouldn't win this game?

                                          Over 60k matched on this one on betfair, only 6k on the Bohs match to highlight the difference in the action. Why is the price holding so well at 1.8?

                                            because thats pretty accurate to the price it should be. wonder will robbie doyle feature for bray tonight

                                            re Limerick. I think mervu, will struggle this season, but they started last season very doggedly, and are tough to beat at home, although this fact doesn really relate to the better footballing team in the league as Terryland is a good pitch to play it about on.

                                            I know very littl about Limerick so best of luck with it

                                              and being first game of the season with a brand new squad, i wouldnt be happy backing them odds on away from home tbh

                                                    Sligo Rovers are too big at 3/1 with bet365 to win at home this weekend

                                                    4pts home win!

                                                            Alan is a lazy sod, gifted footballer when he is in the mood
                                                            Strange he didn't start, would have thought a game against Bray would suit him

                                                            *id better point out that if alan read this and knew it was me, he would point out im 1000 times lazier than him

                                                                        btw, no matter what you may have read on boards/etc from shams heads, AFAIK Sligo Rovers contract with Turner is air tight and there were NO illegal payments to him

                                                                        From what ive been told it was ALL above board and Sligo Rovers 100% in right

                                                                            yeh ucd too big. that should be +1 in the asian handicaps

                                                                            If longford sub keeper gettin the start again ill be opposing them also. tough game going to monaghan who are off back of a good result versus shelbourne. with their first choice keeper ill prob avoid it.

                                                                            Think i like the cork price more so than waterford. Wford perform alot better at home. Theyve sold their three best players from last year, with cummins lining up against them. Cork had a brilliant result away to derry and their home support should be strong. Ill be opposing Wford

                                                                            be very interested to see how the fingal rovers match goes. both teams were impresive in the opening games.

                                                                            Oscar, how'd the bohs game go? heard they got over run in the middle. Theyll always be solid, but were crowe and fenn missed at all?

Ndo was missed. I doubt Crowe/Fenn had 10 league starts between them last season, not missed at all.
                                                                              We really need McGlynn or Higgins to break through in attacking mid roles, Quigley had a poor game up front but he is a lot better than that, also Byrne should be back for the UCD game. Useless unverified second hand information, apparently we havent won our 2nd league game in 9 years.

                                                                              I see Dundalk won the Malone cup, enough of an excuse for me to back them again.

                                                                              Think Ill leave the Cork Waterford game alone as well, as interesting as the Fingal Sligo game.

I got on the 4/1 for $20 purely for Rovers lack of strikers. Pats results against Linfield and Drogheda leave question marks aswell.

Linfield are battle hardened and over half way through the season and as a result are match fit to a greater extent than Pats. I thought our game with Drogheda was called off in the Leinster senior cup? Or maybe you're referring to a friendly.

Both sides have bigger budgets than us as a result of us cost cutting and living within our means since last season. I think Pete Mahon is one of the best managers in the league. Did a great job at UCD with little resources. He has more resources with us and he coaches a good brand of football too. I think we can finish top 3, go long in the cup. Your lot are playing awful and still winning. Mark of true champions cause you's are. But if you's continue playing as you are you's will get beat. I have no doubt that if you's hit last years form you's will win the league but will you's? We'll have to wait and see.

Byrne coming back from injury is massive for us and Raf is looking like some player. Think its just a matter of Fenlon figuring out the strongest starting lineup, we wont concede many either way.

Galway had a boatload of chances against Bray, will be interested to see how that game goes. Can see no reason for backing either Rovers or Dundalk and the rest of the 1st Div matches look very hard to call.

                                                                                                  Comment

                                                                                                        I agree with you about UCD. Very underrated side. But Pats at home should be too strong, but I can see a draw too. I'd say a 1-1 draw, but I hope Pats win 5-0

                                                                                                        Bray are not a bad side, Eddie Gormley is a good manager too. I dont think Fingal are as good as people make out (3rd favourites for the league at the start of the year). Bray should get a point at home I think. I'll go for a score draw here.

                                                                                                        Bohs should get an easy win.

                                                                                                        Connacht derby is a coin toss. Possible draw but I have a soft spot for Sligo and Paul Cook and hope they can do it. 0-0 draw or narrow Sligo win.

                                                                                                        Rovers against Dundalk, should be a Rovers win, but rovers lack firepower due to injured strikers. I'll go for a 0-0 draw.

                                                                                                        First division, Limerick and Shels are certs, others are very tricky to predict. Particularly Cork/Athlone. Athlone off to a flyer and Cork have a big budget and getting huge crowds for a first division team. I just dont know about that and the other games. Some close games in store, Waterford/Derry should be good. The first division looks really good this year, should be close run. I have a feeling Waterford will win it.

Ive a feeling that when i read match reports will find out i got very lucky with the bohs game (2 red cards for drog) BUT . . . we'll take it for sure

                                                                                                              brilliant win for Waterford also - theyre looking very consistent
