    How is the game going? I know barca are losing but have they played well?
    I did thiago and barca wincast.

    they havent a hope of winning unless he empties the bench,osasuna look like scoring a 2nd more than vbarca getting an eq


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


    Osasuna playing quite well and could have got another 1 or 2

    Barca doing their normal "tic tac" nonesense- Pedro had decent chance but was straight at keeper. surely will come alive now in second half when I don't want it to so your bet still has a chance:D

    Thiago passing well but hasn't got forward much

    EDIT: haha, new it, my bet gone already hahaha


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,513 ✭✭✭seanhynes


    good start!


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,303 ✭✭✭Lasagna Diarra


    Odds on under 2.5 goals in the Barca game have dropped from 2.40 to 2.10, I'm going with under 2.5 then.

    Dammit Guardiola, you didn't need to bring on Messi in such a meaningless game :mad:

    I don't do wincast bets as I dont see value in scorer markets but I would be fairly sure you would have a higher ROI by just betting on the win.

    Neath Athletic (4th) –v- Port Talbot Town (9th)

    Port Talbots away form is doesn’t make for good reading, 10 games played away with 2 Wins, 1 Draw and 7 Losses, while conceding 18 goals and only finding the net 9 times.

    Neath home form looks on paper excellent, 8 Wins and 2 Draws, with 26 goals scored and only 5 conceded in them 10 home matches. These haven’t lost in 9 matches.

    Seems the last 6 out of 9 home wins in the League for Neath they have been winning at HT and then FT (open to correction).

    Neath to win (4/9), Neath -1 (5/4), Neath Clean Sheet (1/1), Neath to win nil (7/5) and Neath HT/FT (2/1)

    Got this completely wrong with the expectation of a Neath win.

    1-0 Neath at HT, 2-1 Port Talbot, then 3-2 Neath FT. :eek:

    I know southampton are still top, but their recent form is cat...let me down a few times

    One will always let you down. I've strayed away big time from accies of late. Regarding Notts Forest/Southampton though, haven't Forest gone a crazy amount of time without scoring a goal?

    They scored 3 in their last league game against Ipswich but they did go 7 or 8 games without a goal before that.

    History of the Derby County v Coventry City fixture

    Derby County prepare to entertain Coventry City at Pride Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Rams are clearly on top, having won 22 and lost only 7 of the 38 games.

    The most recent encounter between these two sides at Pride Park was less than a year ago, in April 2011, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a Championship match. Recent encounters between the teams

    Also, Lambert is out, Forest are a good bet on the DNB or Asian +0.5

    Great write up paggyg.


  • Registered Users Posts: 492 ✭✭TheJackAttack


    If Keano gets on for Villa at Everton(depending on the time) I'm going to do him to score anytime.. He frequently scores on his debut. He was playing decent stuff in the states as well!


  • Registered Users Posts: 549 ✭✭✭Manzoor14


    looking at Port Vale (13th) vs Wimbledon (18th) in League 2 there. Only 9 points seperate them and Wimbledon have played a game less.

    Apparantly only 13 Port Vale players (including youth team players) could train during the week http://www.thisisstaffordshire.co.uk/Port-Vale-Valiants-hit-injury-woe/story-14379958-detail/story.html
    Wimbledon have just signed a few new players as well, Jason Euell, George Moncur and Byron Harrison which sould give them a lift.

    I know Wimbledon are on a terrible run of form, but Port Vale have lost their last 3 games as well. From 11 away games this season wimbledon have won 4, draw 2 and lost 5. In Port Vale's 12 home games there's been 5 wins, 2 draw and 5 lost...

    Double chance wimbledon win or draw is 4/5 with W Hill, or Wimbledon to win is 11/4, huge odds I reckon?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 88,978 ✭✭✭✭mike65


    Soton will probably win just to be bloody minded but until they show that they have found the winning thread they are best avoided. Derby does look a good bet.

    Tamworth vs. Wrexham away side flying high, home side only beaten one good team at home and that was thanks to 2 penos.

    Woking vs. Bromley home side top of Conference N / S, Bromley are 3rd bottom
    Nuneaton Town v Blyth Spartans 4th plays bottom.

    Galatasaray vs. Karabükspor top plays third bottom, have to be a handicap bet but should be safe.

    Been done so many times by Southampton, i avoid them
    Pretty sure when i place 3 separate bets on them to win/lose/draw one and the same match, they will manage to make me lose all 3.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,998 ✭✭✭grohlisagod


    I really think Sunderland are overpriced at 7/1 to beat Chelsea. Double chance is 2.88.

    Sunderland in good form with O' Neill in charge. Beat Man City and pushed Spurs very close recently. I think they're suited to the counter attack also with McLean, Richardson and Sessegnon in attack. Chelsea ambushed by a poor Villa side and looking generally shaky of late.

    Sunderland's players will believe they can win also having won there 3-0 last year.

    Gone for a Trixie tonight - Almere City, Den Bosch and Marimito, The two Dutch sides are both aredoing alright in the Jupilier League and both are up against the bottom two teams in the league and their form is abysmal as you can imagine.

    Similar situation with Marimito in the Portuguese league. Up against the bottom side in the league. Marimito are fighting for a Europa Leaue spot this season, currently in 5th.

    So hopefully logic will do it's thing. Yeah I know, logic and footy betting when did that ever work :pac: 20 euro returns 73 I think it was when placed this morning.

    All matches in the Dutch 1st division over 2,5 @10.47

    Actually, not all.
    Left out Eindhoven - Helmond
    Eindhoven are not exactly scoring for fun at home, 17 in 8
    Helmond not great away but concede 18 in 8
    This is a local derby,
    Expect Eindhoven to win but not with ease.
    Last 5 years this match only once did not go over 2,5 but Eindhoven was positioned much worse in those years than they are now.

    Based on home record a win for Dordrecht (w6d3l0) makes sense.
    Based on away record of Veendam (w0d4l5), Den Bosch should win.
    Despite Den Bosch home record being quite crap too, only 2 wins so far this season.

    Interesting fact for the Milan derby sunday night if anybody is interested:

    Milan have been awarded 6 penalties in the league this year, more than any other team, and have also conceded 1.
    Ibrahimovic has scored every one of these penalties, scoring all 6 in his last 7 league games as well as converting 1/1 in the champions league this season.

    This is combined with Inter conceding the most penalties in the league so far this season, also 6 penalties. 3 of these however have been saved by Julio Cesar. Inter have been awarded 3 penalties as well, converting 2 of these.

    This brings the combined total number of penalties for the 2 clubs to 16 in 34 matches and with the intense nature of the derby, (Milan scored a penalty in each of the 2 derby matches last year, Inter scored 1 the year before), I find odds of 23/10 to be quite favorable for this bet.

    cahill wont be playing for Bolton against utd

    edit

    lads anyone notice pp have added more markets to some games now, note the man utd v bolton game

    there are one or two additional markets for football games including Over/Under Total Match Corners and card bets


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,998 ✭✭✭grohlisagod


    I think the best value to be found on United is probably to score in both halves at 4/7.

    Prem bets this w'end:

    Spurs -1 8/11
    Utd -1 4/9
    Stoke +1 & 1.5 1.72
    Sunderland +1 & 1.5 1.80
    Villa win - I think Villa have that little bit more attacking-wise, I hope Tim Howard has not got his kicking boots on.. I feel with the whole 'old-age' revival and Keane back, justifies this choice.

    17.5/1
