The Hopeful Log

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 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

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.
