    need this weekend to be a good one.. last nite missed a few big bets because of arsenal..


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,377 ✭✭✭Warper


    Right get in early - bet for the weekend

    Everton to beat Fulham - 4-5
    Chelsea - 1 goal V Sunderland - 8-13
    Man U - 1 goal V Hull - 8-13

    Bet365

    Pays just over 7-2

    Really Chelsea and Utd should hammer these irrespective of what teams they put out and i fell Everton are getting some confidence back now so their odds are a little inflated for the teams they are playing - dont forget they have been the most consistent team over the past 5-6 years outside of the big 4.

    Blackburn, man city and everton look good bets, will check the other leagues tomorrow


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,787 ✭✭✭d-gal


    Or if u stayed on just saturday betting could do everton, portsmouth and blackburn, round 8/1


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 752 ✭✭✭redfan


    everton slowly but surly getting results and creeping up the table
    man city will want to be proving them selfs the weekend after that mauling by borrough


    very hard to call this weekends games in ... inter milan still my top bet


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,377 ✭✭✭Warper


    Man City are always dodgy away from home - last nights result typifies this while they are great at home stay well away from them away from home

    Regards yo man with the last man standing - tough choices left

    Prob pick either Blackburn or Villa and hesitantly leaning towards Villa plus its on the box Monday night so at least you can watch it (maybe not a good thing after all)

    Toss up between Villa and West Brom. West Brom 6/4 and Villa 7/5 with Paddy.


  • Registered Users Posts: 268 ✭✭holdemfoldem


    i would be jumping on the villa game this week if i had them in any last man standing comp


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,199 ✭✭✭muppetkiller


    Thanks guys I think I'll go with Villa.
    And If I'm still standing at the end we're having boards gambling forum pints on me lol


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 417 ✭✭corban


    think i'll have a go with the following anytime scorers:
    defoe
    adebayor
    yakubu


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 909 ✭✭✭Gareth37


    Yakubu is bound to start scoring soon.

    I have not looked at the stats yet but Sunderland are over priced at 20/1. That seems a tough match for a mediocre poor shaped Chelsea side.

    Everton are bound to beat Fulham, interesting match though, must look at stats.

    Man Utd should beat Hull something to nothing. Stoke will provide resistance to Arsenal but Arsenal should win something to nothing.

    Bray look good against Cobh but am not sure. Cork should get something away to St Pats but it could be a draw. Pats are probably worth laying.

    At the moment UCD are the bet of the weekend. A good price too.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 752 ✭✭✭redfan


    gallas out for saturday lads. will miss him there dodgy as fook at the back even with gallas.
    so arsenal at 2/5 away not a really safe bet.


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


    Aren't Arsenal still really vulnerable to set plays. Delap could destroy them, especially with Gallas out and Almunia in goals. Cheeky stoke bet could be in order because they defended well against the Pool who are better in the air


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 752 ✭✭✭redfan


    the more i look at the fixtures this weekend i want to steer clear unless i had 5k to lump on man u whitch i think are solid and theres litle chance of a loss. but then again?lol


  • Registered Users Posts: 588 ✭✭✭Lao Lao


    Interesting bet for a small sum would be

    Man Utd v Hull - Draw HT/Man Utd FT
    Stoke v Arsenal - Draw HT/Arsenal FT

    16/1 on PP


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


    I know I'm going to sound like a broken record but once again I think the bet of the week is Napoli. They're playing AC away from home and although they don't have a great away record, it's not too bad and they're 6-1 on Betfred. Milan's record at home last season was horrendous and although they strengthened their squad they have a bunch of injuries in the middle of the park and their strikers are still a little green. It showed on Wednesday against Siena who were unlucky to not get away with a point after Galloppa terrorised them and he was a Siena substitute. Napoli have much better quality players. Think about it like this, when was the last time that you had a 2nd vs. 3rd place battle where 2nd place was 6-1 and they weren't **** like Hull

    If you wanted, you could trade out on betfair already for a profit

    Also on the Italian scene, I haven't bothered to check about injuries but top of the table and 4-1-0 at home Udinese are playing Genoa who's away record is 0-1-3. The price is 1.88 on betfair. Joke. Going on form and talent only one winner

    no offence but since when have chelsea become medicocre. i believe that it its a fair price against a sundeland team that seem to lack in all areas bar the keeper who is injured


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,435 ✭✭✭christeb


    I'm thinking a sneaky €20 on Spurs to beat Liverpool, I think Spurs are on the way up and the Pool are getting away with it at the moment. But my Lock of the Week is:

    €50 double Everton / Middlesboro. Odds look like just over 7/2


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,325 ✭✭✭NeVeR


    Chelsea v Sunderland, 15:00 Chelsea
    Everton v Fulham, 12:45 Draw
    Man Utd v Hull, 15:00 Man Utd
    Middlesbrough v West Ham, 15:00 Draw
    Portsmouth v Wigan, 15:00 Portsmouth
    Stoke v Arsenal, 15:00 Arsenal
    Tottenham v Liverpool, 17:30 Liverpool
    West Brom v Blackburn, 15:00 Draw

    Crazy in know to bet them all.

    If i had to pick 3 i would pick

    Man Utd
    Liverpool
    Arsenal

    I'll be at the Man U match myself :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,377 ✭✭✭Warper


    Portsmouth are also a great bet for the weekend @ 10-11 home to Wigan who are conceding for fun. With Defoe rested midweek he will be all guns blazing - looks like the single bet of the weekend

    It's worth a fiver alright.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 909 ✭✭✭Gareth37


    Sligo Rovers at 4/5 should be reasonable safe money this weekend at home to Shamrocks ;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 268 ✭✭holdemfoldem


    think it was sarge who said it first but napoli are the bet of the weekend 9/2 against milan and they are second in the league above a third placed milan.

    if you could get 9/2 on either team in a manu V chelsea match you'd be doing very well


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,963 ✭✭✭Podge2k7


    Portsmouth
    Chelsea
    Millwall
    Reading

    14.89/1

    ================================
    Celtic
    Queen of The South
    Swansea
    Arsenal
    Man Utd

    15.60/1

    =================================
    Reading
    Man City
    Liverpool
    Inter Milan
    Rangers

    20.09/1



    All Paddy Power prices!:D


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,188 ✭✭✭growler


    chelsea, everton, utd, arsenal, blackburn, palace, watford, rangers & celtic to win: @55/1

    chelsea, everton, utd, west ham, arsenal, liverpool, portsmouth to win @ 37/1

    lot of tricky games out there, think the Utd game is the only "certainty" but at 1/5 not worth pursuing with my bankroll
