    Well lads, the start of the new LOI season is just 4 days away and thought I'd set up a thread about the betting for it.
    Was fairly successful in betting on it last year and think this might be a place for people to share their opinions on LOI football.

    Obviously for the first few weeks it will be fairly tough with all the changes that happen every pre-season/off-season in the LOI.

    The first bet I will do this season is
    Longford @ 5/4 away to Mervue.

    Longford are probably the second strongest team in the First division after Limerick. Waterford lost a lot of key players and can't see why they are 2nd favourites.

    Cork 5/6 away to UCD.

    Cork are a very strong team and made some great signings in the pre season. Dan Murray, Colin Healy, John Dunleavy and Daryl Horgan.
    Should beat the Students.

    Double works out at just over 3/1

    Add in Derry and it's 5/1 with the addition Waterford it works out at 10/1.

    Waterford are away to the Wexford Youths, who AFAIK have made no signings yet and lost 3 players.

    Any top goalscorer betting?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,101 ✭✭✭AidySevenfold


    Think Rory Patterson is a good shout at 7/1 for Derry. Banging them in in pre-season.
    Twigg as well but he's short-ish at 7/2.
    Quigley and/or North for Sligo have found the net plenty of times in the last few years.

    For an outsider bet, Philly Hughes of Shels is 20/1 to be top scorer.
    No markets offered for 1st division.

    I have 3 in my log on here:

    St.Pats to win the Premier Division @ 12/1 - 2pts e/w (Ladbrokes)
    Longford to win the First Division @ 10/1 - 2pts (Boyles)
    Longford (Betting without Limerick) @ 3/1 - 5pts (Boyles)


    Pats are out to 14/1 with a few, and the Longford (w/o Limerick) is in to 2/1.

    Drogheda vs Rover

    Rovers -1 @ evens with PP

    fancy rovers to cover the handicap away at drogheda, rovers have been on great form pre-season beating waterford 8-1 last friday, really have a great squad this season

    Good price there for Longford w/o Limerick Gavin.
    Fancy Sligo for the League myself but probably won't touch an outright bet.
    Lots of quality in the premier division this year.

    I personally can't see Sligo doing it, they announced their new manager tonight who has little mangerial experience. Gerry Carr said he'll leave if he wasn't appointed manager and well I can see the rest of the backroom leaving. So this will be a new manager and backroom staff coming into a club where the team has already been purchased for them and their first match is in 3 days.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,101 ✭✭✭AidySevenfold


    Ah yeah just heard about their new manager there now.
    Don't fancy them as much.
    Hard to rule out with N'do,Cretaro,North and Quigley in your side though.
    Richie Ryan is a big loss.
    Apparently they have signed or are signing Conor O'Grady back.
    He was with us at Finn Harps last season, was good but didn't exactly set the First Division alight.

    Paddy Power Odds:

    Division 1 Handicap (All teams 11/2)

    Limerick
    Waterford +17
    Longford +21
    Mervue +33
    Harps +38
    Athlone +38
    StD Galway +41
    Wexford +52
    more or less the difference last season (to limerick) with waterford being 24 behind, longford 26, mervue 32, harps 38, athlone 34, wexford 52, sathill 55.
    could be favouritism but id fancy Harps, we finished +38 on them last year but we shouldnt have the woeful first third of a season again. (2pts from the first 10games or thereabouts)... then again we start in limerick!

    Couple of bets i like
    Monaghan to finish bottom 7/4
    Cork city to finish in the top 6 4/7(Great bet defo worth a ton)


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,232 ✭✭✭✭SteelyDanJalapeno


    Did Limerick manage to hang onto the 2 CSKA loans?

    Monaghan looks a good bet, lost they're best players to Drogs and replaced with nothing special.
    The Cork bet, you'd be better off going with the handicap market, either way imo they'll struggle, they have no fire power at all.
    Did Limerick manage to hang onto the 2 CSKA loans?

    Don't think so, all a PR stunt.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,101 ✭✭✭AidySevenfold


    Think the 2 bets I'm going to do for tomorrow are
    Longford @5/4
    Derry @ 8/15
    Cork @ 5/6

    just over 5/1

    Shams -1 @5/6
    St.Pats -1 @11/10

    Posting them early as might be heading for Jackman Park tomorrow and probably won't be on if I do.

    I'd come back to betting just to bet against them

    Man were those the days :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,016 ✭✭✭applehunter


    I'll be threading carefully for a few weeks before I start getting heavily involved.

    Cork City plenty short enough away to UCD.

    Derry look to be very strong again this season and I don't see Bohs getting anything but a football lesson up there this evening.

    In the 1st division SD Galway @ 5/2 away to Athlone is worth a look. They have hoovered up some of United's players from last season and look to be making a push this season.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,200 ✭✭✭jjll


    dundalk great price to beat monaghan..... Dundalk have been beaten in the league cup twice in mons but that was because foster put out weak teams reckon mccaffrey wont take any chances tonight and were is monaghan to finish bottom 7/4 bet with think that is great price


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,958 ✭✭✭✭Gavin "shels"



    Cork City plenty short enough away to UCD.

    Do yous have any strikers available tonight?




    My 3 bets for tonight as posted in my log are:

    St. Pats, Mervue and Monaghan all BTTS @ 5.5/1
    Rovers -1, Limerick -1 and Cork @ 4.15/1
    Pats, Derry and Dundalk @ 4.2/1


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,126 ✭✭✭rossit


    anybody think waterford are a good price tonight to beat wexford .i know waterford are no world beater but wexford got beat by the local oscar traynoe team 5 -1. so i think even -1 at 15/8 looks good. best of luck to all great to have the league back

    Hey most of you lot dont know me but i had a good run on LOI last year (with a little help from boards) and have decided to post my bets here like everyone else

    I have 3 bets on for tonight, have decided to stay away from D1 for a week or 2 to see how it pans out

    Bet 1
    Shamrock Rovers
    Derry City
    St Pats
    all to win @ 3.00

    Bet 2
    Rovers - 1
    Derry - 1
    Double @ 5.49

    Bet 3
    Rovers Over 1.5 Goals
    Derry Over 1.5 Goals
    Double @ 3.03

    Anyway good luck all (Think we are going to miss Galway this year)


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,314 ✭✭✭BOHtox


    I wouldn't be so confident in Derry myself. Bohs or draw is 11/10 and looks more appealing to me. In our two games so far we pissed all over Portadown who are 2nd, or around that, in the Irish League


  • Registered Users Posts: 533 ✭✭✭crustyjuggler


    Limerick (- 1) 8 / 15
    Shamrock ( - 1 ) 5 / 6
    Cork City 5 / 6
    Derry City 4 / 7
    St Pats 2 / 5
    Waterford 8 / 11
    Longford 6 / 5
    Shels V Sligo draw 11 / 5

    Sd Galway looks tempting at 2 / 1 . They beat Cork City last week . Anyone know anything about them or the standard of Athlone this season .

    I was keeping tabs on the SD Galway game on Extratime.ie, seems the two goals they got were two set pieces which they seemed to look dangerous from. Athlone lost their keeper to Mons not sure about the rest of their squad.


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,067 ✭✭✭✭wp_rathead


    Extratime.ie make it sound like Athlone v SDG will be good for Under 2.5 @ 10/11

    not betting but keeping an eye on it- going to wait for few set of fixtures before get a feel of the season


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,195 ✭✭✭PopTarts


    Shamrock Rovers should win easily tonight.

    Rovers (-2) is 12/5

    Rovers have scored 14 in their last 5 meetings, Drogheda have scored 0 :p


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,351 ✭✭✭magherakid


    Shamrock Rovers goals over 2.5 6/4

    Man that is an awful injustice, once they went 2 up, they didn't bother

    Hard luck mag


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,198 ✭✭✭buckfasterer


    Limerick could get 1 or 2 more against Harps here, they're main centre half Cowen was taken off before half time and taken to hospital. Limerick are ment to be well on top this half aswell.

  • Registered Users Posts: 3,191 ✭✭✭overshoot


    o'hagen probably slotted into cowan's place so it wont make too much of a difference to the back 4. Clarke will make harps more attacking and he just scores!
    what odds would ya have got on wexford to be 3 up v waterford tho?!
