    I've been itching to start a thread here for the last couple of months, and finally decided to give in. I usually stick to my season long bets and unrealistic accums :D and laying on betfair.

    This thread is going to be a lot of smaller bets on mostly gaa/soccer/rugby.

    My goal is to double my bank.

    Starting bank is 200 points.

    To be honest my hopes aren't high so I wouldn't go backing any of my selections unless you're very confident of them yourself :D



    Kilkenny -6 2/3 12 points

    Anytime goalscorer Dub v Tyr B. McGuigan 13/2 2 points

    Kilkenny -6 2/3, Dub/Tyrone over 1.5 goals 4/9, Wales +14 8/13, Scot to beat Ire 10/11, Bohs draw no bet 6/5, Nz (rugby)2/9. 1 point

    Jason Day 11/2, Kilkenny over 1.5 goals 4/9, Dun/Tyrone either team to win by 1-4 or draw 1/2. 1 point

    Half time in the Shamrock Rovers v Bohs match and it's 0-0. Rovers have dominated and had a host of good chances. Rovers have surprised me tonight so far.
