National (gaelic) Football League thoughts

Just looking at the outright prices there for the various divisions.

Division 1 has now the best eight teams in the country and is fiercely competitive.
You could make a case for any of them to go well except for say Down. Picking a winner is not easy though as on any given day in these league encounters Dublin, Cork, Donegal, Mayo, Kerry,Tyrone and Kildare can easily beat one another so personally I think it's too hard to call and betting on it would be madness.

Look for value game to game IMO


Division 2
Unlike Div 1 where i'd be like most others and know the teams and players reasonably well I dont know alot about the teams but....

Longford @16/1

Longford are a standout 16/1 with paddypower as the rank outsiders along with Louth.
Now Paddypower must know something we dont know because if anyone wathced Longford in the championship last year you know that they are well capable of beating any of the teams in this division. they play a really nice style of football, very skilful players. very fast, fit running game and their manager seems to know what he's doing.

it could be that the panel has lost some key players to emigration or injuries or both but barring that 16/1 looks huge. i dont expect them to win the division but if they got off to a decent start in thier first couple of games that price could shrink very fast. actually they look value at 7/4 to beat wexford away on saturday going on last years form what with wexford now under a new management set up and maybe having some teething difficulties.


Div 3

Again paddypower are out on their own with Fermanagh at 22/1.
Although they are never going to be world beaters, with Peter canavan as their manager they could easily string a few results together and suddenly be in contention.


Div 4
Tipperary are 5/2 with ladbokes (15/8 gen)

5/2 looks massive to me for a team that are clearly a class above anyone else in the division. Tipperary are good enough to be in Div 2 in my mind but their disastrous league campaign last year and relegation from Div 3 has probably lead to this price from ladbrokes (overreaction??).

they have 4 highly winnable games to start with (though a potential bannana skin opener on saturday vs carlow) but come mid march next i expect them to be well odds on to top the division and the 5/2 a distant memory

just some of my thoughts. interested to what the other boys think on here.

[Keane]

Longford will start the league without either of the Bardens. David will be back soon enough but by far more important is Paul who will miss most of the campaign. Brian Kavanagh is out of the reckoning for the year as well as he's travelling.

Massive losses, David Barden is a decent workhorse but the other two are very important. You're basically left with Sean McCormack on his own as a scoring forward.

[Keane]

I quite like all of these bets, Cork are superb value.

GL with the tipping this season Keane, seem to remember you particularly smashed it last year in the league.

Yeah had a very good league alright. Looking at the prices for this weekend's games I'd be pretty confident of doing pretty well again this year if I don't run very badly.

Division Three and Four are particularly weird, it looks as though the bookies just looked at the colour jersies to set their prices, Wicklow are actually shorter odds to beat Fermanagh this year than they were last year despite the fact that they've lost their three most important players by an absolute mile for example. A good few other instances of prices clearly having been done on outdated info as well.

[KevIRL]

lol, warms the heart to see this kind of thing still goes on.

In the first Waterford Crystal semi Clare beat Cork 0-20 to 2-11.
Clare led 0-10 to -07 at half time

Was supposed to be a 7.45 throw in but was delayed almost an hour due to a fuel spill on the Limerick-Ennis road near Cratloe. This delayed a lot of the cork team arriving.

The early stages were akin to a Junior B club game, I think Cork only had the bare 15 with the sub goalie filling in at corner forward while the last 2 car loads of players arrived

I'm on Cork to win Division 1 @ 10/3 6pt win Ladbrokes
Laois to win Division 2 @ 4/1 2pt e/w Bet365

This weekend

Kildare to beat Donegal @ 10/11 3pt bet PaddyPower
Cork to beat Dublin @ 5/4 3pt bet William Hill
Fermanagh to beat Wicklow @ 5/4 2pt bet Ladbrokes

[Keane]

I don't really love the outright bets in the league because they take in the finals which are so close to the start of the championship for a lot of teams that they don't take them seriously. Fermanagh, Wexford and Tyrone all topped their division rankings last year but your bet would have been a loser in each case. Division One is worse again as they've brought in semi-finals rendering the whole league process pretty farcical, last year as far as I remember you went into the last round of games with every team capable of making the semi-final as well as four or five out of the eight having the chance of being relegated.

Have you seen both teams named? No way Kildare should be favs at neutral venue IMO. Kildare midfield is very weak, and they've had to bring Mick Foley out from full back to CHB to compensate, which weakens their full back line as well.

the other two though.

[Keane]

I've rowed back on my Westmeath bet by the way if anyone's reading the article above, no bet there for me after all.

I can see why they are favs with the few wins on the bounce and this being most of the Donegal teams first match back.

I 1000% agree with what your saying about foley and think he's our best chance of keeping murphy quiet today.

All that being said I'm looking forward to heading to croaker this evening should be 2 good games but from a betting pov I'd be staying away from this match.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think they're going to be blown away or anything but they're a mile off full strength IMO. Should be a great game, really looking forward to this one in particular, I'm a big fan of both teams.

Agree hopefully will be a good game.

Just a thought but what would you think of Tomas o Conor being switched to the middle IMO with the few new forward options we have gained this year I think it might be worth a try moving him out to the middle.

Doesn't have enough ball playing abilty for midfield IMO, and is a very effective full forward if ever any of the rest of the inside line would wake up and play off him properly. Seanie Johnston will be a big help to him in there I think, could be a big year for Tomás as a FF.

The funny thing Kildare have a couple of great midfielders if they could ever get them fit. Any idea what's wrong with Flynn now? Himself and Lynch would be a great pair.

I've only heard that he has a groin injury never heard how serious it was although I will be seeing Alan smith this week so hopefully he can shed some light on it for me.

Would like to see kavanagh back at some stage this year really liked having him in the team.

Looking forward to cork next week here's hoping for another big 2pts.

[eurotomillions]

Ok so a few selections for tomorrow. I know a lot of lads involved in various county teams, mostly football but a few hurling. I do all my bets based on information from the camp regarding training, injuries etc. Ill post any info up here whenever I can.

Carlow 4/1 to beat Tipperary
Anthony Rainbow has done serious change in Carlow. Has nearly all players available to him and the players have unbelievable respect for him (unlike luke dempsey :/) They have done serious conditioning over the xmas and actually believe they can reach promotion.
Tipperary as we all know have had serious minor and u21 teams previous, but I still think they will not start to click until later in the year. They have barry grogan back from the states, but I really feel carlow will cause an upset.

Confidence 4/5

Mayo 7/4 to beat Kerry
Mayo have been consistently a performing team in the league the past few years. They have great depth in there panel, as do Kerry. Kerry are missing Galvin and are trying to blend in some players to the senior set up. This is a home game for Mayo and it is quite a spin to mayo from Kerry, although id imagine they travlled tonight. Home games IMO are worth 2 points to the home team. Mayo will want to have a good league to carry on momentum to the championship as they arent out till june.

Confidence 5/5

Few more selections I like but will only have small steaks. These are my selections and most of them are based on my judgement i.e. no outside information in most of them#

Longford 7/4 to beat Wexford
Cavan 5/4 to beat Antrim
Fermanagh 6/5 to beat Wicklow

Happy Betting

[conspicuous]

I'm on the Carlow bandwagon too at 4/1. Go on the Rastafarians !

[KevIRL]

Carlow winner alright, 1-14 to 0-16.

Nice shout

Brilliant work Euromillions

[eurotomillions]

Thanks lads. 2 Main bets came in so happy enough.

From what I heard Carlow played out of there skin. Was watching the Mayo game and been honest, I never felt as confident of a win as I have today after 15mins. Mayo were up for this game and wanted to win it. Anytime Kerry got the ball they didnt know what to do with it which can be seen from the first half when they had a strong wind but still only went in at HT drawing with Mayo. Also got word before the match that Kerry have been doing serious running the past 2 weeks which was evident today as they ran out of steam.

Other 3 bets werent as good but only had very small stakes on them. Look forward to next weekend

[KevIRL]

Waterford beat Clare despite the fuckers sticking the game in Miltown Malbay the furthest place away from here possible. Home to Tipp next, we drew with them in the McGrath Cup semi final, would be great to get the 2 points from that.

[eurotomillions]

Think Division 4 is wide open still. Tipperary were favourites to win it out and Carlow were Second last to win, yet Carlow beat Tipp. Waterford seem to be going well this year with there new manager Niall Carew who was involved with Kildare before. If they beat Tipp they can push on from there. I think a team can lose 2 matches and still get promoted IMO so wont be untill round 3/4 well see how teams will really do.

Im an Offaly man myself and they have undergone serious change in attitude. players and training this year. But still promotion wont be easily achieved as many people in the county think

Two big calls Keane. I agree with you on Ballymun, they don't have the Gooch but they have huge hunger and togetherness. I can't see anyone beating Cross though, they're just relentless. Incredibly high standard overall though

[Keane]

I didn't write either of them and won't be betting on either match FWIW. Interestingly, GAA analyst extraordinaire Emmet Ryan told me this morning that he rates Cross behind Brigid's and Crokes (in that order), but reckons there's only a hair's breadth between all four of the remaining teams.

Cross are super, but the rest of the teams left - especially Brigid's and Crokes - are super-clubs in their own right. I couldn't see Cross as being better than either of them by more than a point or two on average over a large sample.

Agree 'Mun bet of the weekend. Conceded 0-5, 0-7 and 0-8 in Leinster games and shipped just two goals in nine competitive games since last May. If any defence can keep Gooch, O'Leary, Brosnan and pals quiet, it's this one. And that's from a Southsider!

Sigh, thought Galway (evs) and Clare (3/10) would have been priced bit bigger for this weekends league games. Will be taking Galway anyway at that price, think that they will have enough for KK in Pearse stadium, if it was Nowlan Park then maybe a bit different.

In terms of the league overall I think Galway 5/2 to win division 1A is a cracking bet. They have 3 home games and 2 away, the homes are against KK, Tipp and Cork and they travel to Clare and Waterford. Couldnt be more favourable. Also can see them being pretty determined to have a good league to ensure competitive games for as long as possible given that they pretty much have a bye into the Leinster Championship thanks to a super handy draw. They are available at 3/1 to win the League outright, but I think the 5/2 on winning 1A is the better bet as it rules out a loss in the playoffs.

Will have a closer look at the other league games closer to the weekend, initial thoughts are that Galway (evs) and Tipp (4/6) look worth a bet, gonna have to check the handicap in the other 1A game when its up. Zero value in any of the 1B matches this weekend imo

I was looking at Galway myself and the 5/2 about table toppers surely makes more sense than 3/1 about outright winners. Evens is a steal for Sunday in fairness given the shape KK are expected to be in at this time of the year

Always feel wary backing against KK, but whereas last year I was very confident of them giving Tipp a hammering in the opener I'm not so much this year. A number of the experienced KK guys - Walsh, Paul Murphy, Tyrrell, JJ Delane, Colin Fennelly, Richie hogan were on the Leinster team beaten by a pretty ordinary looking Connacht/Galway line up at the weekend too.

Taken this double with Boyles, 2.14/1, they best price both (13/10 & 4/11).
KK not done much work yet, plenty injuries. And I've been told by 1 or 2 down your way, Kev, to oppose da Deise every week for the foreseeable!

Aye, we are in a bad way. Problem is the prices are reflecting that. Thought that we might have gotten something of a decent price on Clare this weekend but them winning the Waterford Crystal pre season competition has done for that it seems

On this with Laddies - A Draw, or either team to win by less than 4 points @ 1.83

3.5 yeah, the extra point and the draw are probably just about enough to make it neutral compared to the HC, think DIT to win is the value though.
