    2 bets for me.

    Fourfold
    Scotland 21/20
    Finland -1 4/6
    England -2 8/13
    Slovenia 1/1
    10/1


    And just to keep all the eggs in 1 basket a decent lump on a Scotland / Slovenia double @ 3.1/1

    apologies........

    im only new, I have learned my lesson i promise,didnt even notice the rules until someone pointed them out to me...

    so anyway,

    boyles are offering a tasty treble in my opinion

    brazil,argentina & paraguay all to win


    11/5.

    brazil at home to colombia ( brazil in great form , colombia beaten at home on saturday)

    argentina AWAY to chile , (but chile were pants against ecuador and had their 2 starting cb's sent off)

    and paraguay are absolutely flying at the min , top of the group


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 25,953 ✭✭✭✭kryogen


    that does represent a prettty good bet alright, 3 teams should be winning, although, Columbia were very good against Paraguay though and didnt deserve to lose in fairness, Paraguay were poor without Santa Cruz, is he back?

    and Brazil are very unpredictable but i expect them to get the job done i guess

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

    I can't see them beating us but a draw if it's a half decent price might be tempting. Beats backing Ireland 4/11 anyway.

    EDIT: Ireland are 2/5 with Ladbrokes now. A bit of money has obviously gone on Cyprus.

    EDIT AGAIN: Just read something written by a Cypriot. They are apparantly coming here for the win and are bringing an attack minded team. Perhaps there may be a few goals in this game after all for both sides.


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,510 ✭✭✭✭dsmythy


    Russia 4/11 against Finland is ridiculous if you ask me. They just about got a result against Wales, Finland are only crossing over the border to meet them sure. They are 10/1, the draw 4/1!

    Macedonia 2/1 in Iceland. That's a touch too big i think. Macedonia are in the lower middle ranks in football at the moment for me and Iceland below them in ability. They seem to get the job done against teams below them including away from home.

    Greece are 9/10 against Switzerland. The Swiss are really struggling at the moment and Greece are generally a tough nut at home.

    Belgium/Spain draw at 13/5? Belgium are a slightly improved side recently, still not in Spain's league but capable of frustrating them in Belgium and picking up a point. Also i heard the pitch is a disaster zone because of bad weather and Belgium are setting up defensive.

    Backing england, ireland, spain, germany, holland, czech and portugal, would be howlers if any messed up, €10 stake

    110euro


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,838 ✭✭✭jacool


    a home 4-timer which should come in @ 2/1 is
    Greece, Germany, Bosnia&H and Lithuania
    an away double which should also arrive at 1/1 is
    Hungary and Turkey
    the six-timer roll-up is 5/1 therefore and worth a smaller stake.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 25,953 ✭✭✭✭kryogen


    did a few messy bets for a laugh at micro stakes, my first real bet so far today on the football is

    Ireland
    England
    Germany
    Spain

    50euro returns 200(just below tbh)

    looks like a safe enough one

    the one team who is standing out in terms of price is holland

    currently even money to beat norway away, looks tasty to me anyway


  • Registered Users Posts: 268 ✭✭holdemfoldem


    If you can bring yourself to bet against ireland P Power have a nice little treble..

    england, germany and cyprus all to win @ 16/1

    .. couple of quid can't hurt.. plus it would take a little of the sting away if we do lose and the others win.


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


    I have gone for a free money 5 way of Lithuania, Bosnia and herzogovina, Italy, Germany and Portugal at just under 2.5. Hopefully they can get over such stiff oppostion as the Faroe Islands and Armenia.

    Some later matches that interest me;

    Paraguay 1/3 v Peru
    Argentina 8/11 v Chile
    Brazil 2/7 v Columbia
    Ecuador 7/4 v Venuzeula (This is a big price imo)
    Mexico 4/7 v Canada

    May pick 3 of them and do some combination of doubles and trebles.

    Closer to home;
    Spain @ 7/10
    Holland @ 1/1
    Turkey (-1) @ 5/4
    Slovenia (+2) @ 4/7
    Cyprus (+2) @ 4/7

    Again may do some combination of doubles and trebles.


  • Registered Users Posts: 45,296 ✭✭✭✭Bobeagleburger


    hungary 1/3 away to Malta should be a dead cert.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,014 ✭✭✭dotsflan


    just gone for €60 on an england ireland double pays around 11/10 on betfair


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,284 ✭✭✭stryker mcqueen


    I've gone for the brazil,argentina,paraguay treble @ 11/5 €30

    2 draws
    slovakia v poland & austria v serbia €10 returns €106

    and for the laugh ireland v cyprus more than 12 corners !!

    €20 @ 9/5

    My picks were horrendous. Serves me right for looking at internationals. :pac:
