AstonMartin

Agreed.

terrible candidates.

norris is getting shown up to be extremely dodgy.

davis and cronyism.

mcguinness and ...

gallagher and dodgy business but thats not uncommon at his level.

mitchell has an outside chance.

dana needs a new hobby.

i like micky at 4/7.

Haha I always thought Aston was a bit fruity

MDH now 11/8 with paddypower

UrbanSea

Lads am I correct in thinking I saw Gallagher at 25/1 about a week ago?

JimmyAlfonso

I doubt you saw 25/1.

I checked PP the night of the prime time debate (weds?) and I think MDH was about 4/7 and Gallagher was 5/2. Doubt he'd have gone all the way in to 5/2 in 2 or 3 days? Maybe there was a early week poll though that changed that.

UrbanSea

It may have been two weeks ago.

Before that poll that came out originally.

Could easily have been out that far three weeks back. He's 8/15 now, very short price.

Gallagher was generally 25/1 on the morning of 05-Oct (40/1 in a couple of places). Then 2 opinion polls came out which gave him ~ 20%. He was best price 2/1 about 2 days later.

Hope he had a few quid on himself...

Or rather, hope Dana had a few quid on him given she might have to pay for her entire campaign herself now.

thesandeman

I put 2quid on him at 50 and 40 during the first debate. When I checked after VB he was 5/2.

AstonMartin

Best person for the job imo and a sound lad.

saywhatyousee

I see MMG is out to 16's might be worth a tenner

votecounts

with days to go, gallagher is the favourite and god we're gullible. I'll be lumping on MDH @7/2 tomorrow.

JONJO THE MISER

Great bet Michael D 7/2.
If that Seán Gallagher is elected, then i think we deserve everything we get in this country and i dont want to hear any one else moaning.
Are people that foolish to back a F.F hack and that is all he is a FF candidate in everything but name.

votecounts

at at the start, i thought he only entered the race because of his ego or a joke and the fact that he is ahead inthe polls speaks volumes how stupid we are.

Howjoe1

going to lump on md 7/2. gallagher will implode next week

REFLINE1

7/2 On MDH is ridic value imo- all over it

okidoki987

Have to agree, how can a 1/4 shot during the week suddenly go to 7/2 after a couple of opinion polls which could be way off on the day.
MD is a better bet.

Derek!

Are they takin bets on the next president bein a big arsehole?
cause i'm pretty sure that's the way it's gonna be

votecounts

MDH Now 7/4 (pp) and 2/1 (bs)

okidoki987

I'd say Boyles are planking themselves after paying out on MDH on Friday :eek:.

MrJoeSoap

Put a few quid on MDH at 2.8 on Betfair today.

the whole year inn

im thinking 100 on michael d,surely these opinion polls are skewed.When it comes down to it the voters are going to be middle aged to older people.

E100 on mdh
E2 cover bets on mcguinness and norris (never know)

JONJO THE MISER

Not one person i have asked have said they will vote for Gallagher and ive asked a good few people from all backgrounds, lots going for Michael D, so yes i think these polls are skewed.

UrbanSea

Newstalk poll has MDH ahead. 5/2 biggest now

Juwwi

Backed MDH at 5/2 with PP after reading this thread.
Heres hoping.

UrbanSea

I'd back it but I have my ****ing balance on Shams,and the match is postponed.

Does my bet roll over to the rescheduled game?

I'd say it does but you could try ringing and get it cancelled.
You could say u were going tonight and cant tomorrow.

okidoki987

Most bookies have a 24 hr rule which means the bets stand if the game is played within 24 hours.
I'm sure you could cancel it if you ring them but I'd say it will only work for singles as you could want collecting on a double/treble and the bookie may want to stand the last leg.

Juwwi

Jonjo whats your opinion on backing Gallagher in the morning to cover stakes on Higgins or let it ride ?.

Everyone saying he has blown it yet Higgins 1.74 on betfair and Gallagher 2.66 as l type.

PP now offering 8/11 Higgins and 1/1 Gallagher.

If the match isn't played within 24hrs the bet is void?

He's in to 2.22 now.

Thanks to this thread (and a friend) I've a small bit on Higgins at 11/4 with PP.

Friend has been saying for weeks that Higgins is the only one who looked like a president (sound reasoning) and was planning on lumping on at 4/9 a couple of weeks back but didn't have the funds. AFAIK when Higgins dropped to 11/8 he got him then so fingers crossed for him, me and the majority of people in this thread
