    Haven't really got stuck in yet lads. But what about UTD Chasing the league title. A win away to Blackburn PP are priced 4/7.

    Value. Think they should do it.

    Blackburn aren't playing the best at the moment so Utd should really do it, but I would be wary of betting on football at this stage of the season in general.

    ^^ you have good betting brain on you - if only I was so sensible!

    How weak a team do you reckon Liverpool will put out against Fulham? They've drifted to 5/4 now. It's Fulham for heavens sake! I'll be checking out the team news if it's in any way favourable i'll back the 'pool.

    Also 3/1 Shrewsbury away to Mansfield. Bit big if you ask me. These two teams are as bad as each other.


  • Site Banned Posts: 5,346 ✭✭✭wixfjord


    If Liverpool have anyway of a half decent team out ill be backing them dnb at 4/7 thats value. Also over 1.5 goals in west ham derby at 2/9


  • Subscribers Posts: 32,859 ✭✭✭✭5starpool


    After last nights game, Gerrard and Torres won't even be on the bench. Masch might get a start as he hasn't played since the Arse game 10 days ago. I know this isn't the soccere forum, but I'll predict a team such as:

    Reina
    Finnan
    Skrtel
    Carragher
    Arbeloa
    Benayoun
    Lucas
    Masch
    Riise
    Crouch (if fit)
    Voronin

    Not too terrible, but hardly world beaters either. I'd be surprised if anoy one of Gerrard, Torres, Kuyt, Hyypia, Babel, Alonso start. Full backs could go either way.

    vidich back for united the weekend.
    4/7 looking good.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 987 ✭✭✭keen


    6/1 for United to win 2 nothing, what yas reckon? 3/1 for Rondaldo to score the first too.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 74 ✭✭MarkOShea


    United will probably have both eyes on Barcelona midweek but I still reckon they'll win this.

    Roma are at home to bottom side Livorno tomorrow aswell. They're 13-2-1 at home, 4 points behind Inter with 5 each to play. Can't see anything but a win to keep the pressure on Inter who aren't out until Sunday. No price but I'll double them up with United.

    So.....6 pts double on Man Utd (8/13) and Roma (2/9) with Boylesports. Just a touch under evens.

    1 Nottm Forest v Luton (Backing Nottm Forest @ 1.36)

    Just stuck a little wager on this one At 14.14


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 164 ✭✭kilkennykitten


    1. Arsenal v Reading (Arsenal 1.334)
    2. West Ham v Derby (West Ham 1.364)
    3. Rochdale v Morecombe (Rochdale 1.572)
    4. Torquay v York (Torquay 1.534)
    5. Roma v Livorno (Roma 1.2)

    Gives odds of 5.27 taken with Coral although I'm sure you can get better odds elsewhere.

    Would be confident of this coming in.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,056 ✭✭✭applehunter


    Falkirk did my accum.

    Cost me c. €400.

    Always 1:o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,494 ✭✭✭m.j.w


    Waiting on Athletico tonight aganist Betis fora treble. Just layed Ronaldo to score for Utd at 2.1 for 50 quid. Could see this match being a draw but thought this might be a better bet


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,494 ✭✭✭m.j.w


    :D:D:D

    Thought Ronaldo was goona get one right at the end but didnt come. Just need Madrid to win now


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,919 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6


    F*cking Falkirk


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 257 ✭✭63587614


    What ye make of that lads. Utd had stone wall peno turned down prob twice as well. ****n cost me 100eur, still think league is in bag.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,919 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6


    Course it's in the bag. Chelsea need to win 19-0 to have any chance. Typical United to score late on after playing crap.

    As for the peno, they've gotten their fair share of soft ones in the past so these things even out.

    Atheletico are 1.86 at half time aganist Betis. They have to win this match to keep there european hopes up. Reyes was brought on in the first half so they have 3 strikers on the pitch. Think they are worth lumping on at tha price.

    can you do accums on Betfair?

    Yeah, just go to the sports section and on the far left of the screen (your left, not the screens) their are 4 tabs. The 3rd says multiples. Hit that and navigate your way to some accas


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,056 ✭✭✭applehunter


    Who is taking the bet.

    Betfair or betfair customers?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,478 ✭✭✭Bubs101


    Betfair themselves take the bets. They take a .05 or something away from the odds in sinlge bets but thats because you don't get charged commision


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 500 ✭✭✭Ya-Boy-Ya


    Gona do Defoe to score first today

    :) We got them the 2nd time round.

    I'm following your tips from now on.

    No pressure!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,478 ✭✭✭Bubs101


    Don't know how you managed to avoid Rangers Xavi. Made 4 great high odds (for an acca picks) through Rangers in as well and guess what happened. Same with Roma the day before

    To be honest I just completely forgot about Rangers, although I would have probably gone win/draw considering it was the cup. Can never trust dodgy lower league sides that have already knocked out Prem opposition i.e. Barnsley v Chelsea.

    My scorecasting paid me again this weekend!!!

    Did the 80c worth of bets again (3 for Ronaldo to score first, 3 for Rooney to score firts, 2 for Santa Cruz) and my Santa Cruz, 1-1 came up at 35-1!!! I had the same for United 2-1 win at 66-1 so Brad Friedel isn't my favourite person in the world!!! Also had him as anytime goalscorer at 5-2, crazy considering they were at home, he'd scored 19 goals this season, and United had started to concede goals recently! Also had Bolton for a win at 13-5. Was definite value to be had against a Boro team that had nothing to play for.

    And whoever recommended Wexford against Louth, thanks! Had a nice little fultter there!
