Worth a few bob?

Might stick something on this, not usually one for outright bets but the value looks too good.

The selections can't be combined on the PP website so I'll email them and try get a price.

Here it is:

Airtricity League Outright - Shamrock Rovers - Evens

Barcelona to win La Liga and Champions League - 5/2

Premier League Outright - Man Utd. - 5/6

To be relegated - West Ham Utd. - 4/7


50 Returns 1000

looks fairly dodgy to me. i don't know much about the airtricity league so won't comment on that. Barca will probably win la liga but champions league is a toss up really, 5/2 would be far to short for me to take that on. i know theyre the best team in europe but there are always upsets in the champions league. United will win the premier league imo so that looks a good bet to me. West ham again is another dodgy one, i really don't have a clue who will be relegated i'd probably take west brom ahead of west ham based on current form but only if they were a decent price!! probably worth a few bob but it depends how much 50 is to you :P

Rovers have made some very good signings over the winter, so I'd expect(and hope) them to win the league again this year. Sligo Rovers will be the biggest challengers, imo.

Hummm..... As Mentioned by Jive, Champions League is always abit of a lottery. Dodge refs, big name suspensions, fluke away goals - they all add up. Granted they SHOULD win the CL, but it's always tough.

They will win La Liga.

Rovers will win Airtricity.

United will win PL.

West Ham. I'm not sure now. They have backed Grant now and will prob throw some money at him. I'd prefer Wigan at 8/13 to go down to be honest.

To be honest a 50e bet with a return of 1000e is still very good for a gamble. By no means a sure thing, but then there rarely is, especially this season. I still like this bet though.

West Ham and United bets are in connected markets, doubt they will allow them in an accum together!

Also, if you get the others right, then you'll have to wait 6 months for the Airtricity League to finish.

Not sure about the Barca price, like mentioned above UCL is a bit of a lottery.. and in La Liga they're only 4 points clear of Real who have a home game against Barca in hand, so there's very little between the two teams (points-wise) at the moment.

Barca are 5-2 to win the CL alone, so leave out the La Liga part, Utd should win the League but i'd stay away from Rovers and West Ham.

Porto are good value for the Europa League but they have a horrible draw playing Seville next and then CSKA if they get through. Could do worse than backing Inter for Serie A now that Rafa is gone.

Ok I've placed it, couldn't include West Ham because it was related.

I done:

Man Utd outright
Rovers Outright &
Barcelona C/L Outright.

Works out at 10/1, put 50 on it.

+1, too much of a dodgy team.

+2 did everything in their power to throw it away at end of last season. Fingal could be a bit of value at 16/1 with three places.

Well Bohs won't be competing for the title this year, O' Neil has made some good signings and with the Champions league money they'll have I can't see past them winning it.

Only way I can see Barca not winning the CL is the same way as last year i.e. coming up against a superb defensive performance. However I don't think there is a team with as good a defence as Inter's last season so I really think Barca are a great bet.

They've also lost a few decent players Danny Murphy,Aidan Price, Robert Bayly, Dessie Baker, Stephen Bradley along with James Chambers who's meant to be off to Scotland and they might still lose McMannus with no decent keeper lined up.

I'd throw Arsenal at 4/7 to win the Carling Cup. Seems a decent price to me. I've only looked on PP. You could possibly get better.

You could be onto a nice sum there.

I have a feeling West Ham might make him cry.

Decent win there against Blackpool alright. I still think they're a bit shít, though.

kryogen

I have faith in West Ham to stay up tbh, Blackpool are in danger of dropping imo, they have hit a reality wall i think, they have lost 6 out of 7 now and arent scoring like they were early in the season but are still giving up as many chances if not more to the opposition.

We have a couple of players just coming back from injury which should make a difference now as well. Jack Collison and Tomas Hitzleberger are back in full training. I'd be very confident of us staying up to be honest. Next two games against Brimingham and West Brom will tell a lot though. Fancy us to get 4 points from those.
