    Wasn't gonna bother with tonight but its dead quiet in work so may as well do something for a bit of interest later on. Keeping it at small stakes though as Cup Football is a minefield.

    Tuesdays Treble:
    Saarbruken V Greuther Furth @11/10: Bet of the night for Pighead! German cup tie here and unlike in England the Germans tend to take their cup competitions very seriously and they tend to play their best team. Greuther Furth play in the German 2nd Division while Saarbruken play in the lower Regional Sud Division. Greuther are in decent form having won 3 of their last 5 matches. Saarbruken are struggling. Just a point away from the relegation zone having won none of their last 5 games(3 draws 2 loses including a 4-0 hiding on Saturday). The clincher for me is their key player Hadji is suspended. Away win for me at a nice price.

    Chesterfield V West Ham @4/6: Poor old Alan Pardew is having a bit of a mare this season and judging by the squad hes picked for this hes determined to get a win tonight to get some much needed confidence back. Theres 2 divisions between these sides and the Hammers almost at full strength have no excuses tonight. Chesterfield are no great shakes and their recent form is poor(W1 D1 L3). They're also missing a regular defender through injury(Picken). Hammers for me.

    Derry City V Shelbourne @8/13(Draw No Bet): Should be a cracking game tonight at the Brandywell and I reckon there will be only two possible outcomes. A Derry win or a draw. Can't see Shels pulling off an away win and even though they might say otherwise they will be very happy with the draw. The last 5 games between the sides have produced a victory each and 3 draws. But 4 of those 5 were in Tolka Park. And I think its fair to say that Derry should have won the last meeting between the sides. They were 2-0 up and cruising until keeper Pat Jenings got sent off and they had to play a striker in goal, which resulted in Shels grabbing a fortunate draw. The Draw is obviously a danger so I've gone for Derry to win draw no bet.

    Tuesdays Treble:
    15 Points-Greuther Furth, West Ham, Derry City(Draw No Bet) @ 4.65/1

    5 Points- West Ham(-1)@9/5, Derry City V Shels Under1.5 goals @7/4, West Brom(+1)@1/1= 14.4/1


    Good Luck to all.

    Simon Davies is a doubt after becoming the latest Everton player to be struck down by the virus sweeping the club.
    Phil Neville (hamstring) is a doubt but Tim Howard, Tim Cahill and James Beattie are all training again after suffering from the virus.


    Virus news about Everton was a bit off putting, but i still think they will win.

    Treble is 4.27

    Nice info Chucky. Also seen on a couple of forums that Athletico Madrid are putting out a full strength team tonight against Levante in the cup. Levante are resting half their team. Price isn't gonna make you rich but with Athletico at home might be worth throwing in an accumulator.

    Wrong! The most it could return is 20 notes as the lowest denomination of note in the Euro is the fiver.
    Good Luck With YOur Bet Though.

    Im a little late but
    Villa win
    Norwich win
    Everton win
    WBA win
    thats all i can think of


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,184 ✭✭✭✭Pighead


    well I didn't actually back WBA to win. Not quite as confident as you are! Have them(+1) thus giving me the draw as well.
    Villa Watford and West Ham all winning 1-0. Greuther Furth cruising at 2-0 with 20 mins left. So far so good.
