    Even money was decent odds for that, they were 13/10 - 1 goal iirc.

    Bet #5

    €5 on London to beat Fermanagh @ 15/2.
    Fermanagh have all their big guns back this year but I think 1/12 is an awful short price hence a small bet on London.

    Bet #6
    €10 Armagh to beat Cork @9/2
    a good price for Armagh at home

    Bet #7
    €10 Cavan (-2) to cover the handicap @ 5/6
    I think Wexford are overrated and was tempted to back Cavan @7/4

    Bet #8
    €5 on Louth/Westmeath draw @ 9/1
    Both favourites to be relegated.

    Total of €30 on todays games. All prices with Paddy Power.

    I notice four of your bets have been backing Liverpool, presumably you follow them? Ideally you should ease off them as your liking for them may well be keeping you from being impartial :)

    I follow Liverpool myself.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,035 ✭✭✭BrianBoru00


    not being biased , thought 3 of the 4 were good value, the exception being the double with Spurs, and I reckon if Bellamy had started up front they could have won by 3 or 4, Carroll just hasn t got that strikers instinct..


  • Posts: 23,339 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Well if Bellamy starting up front was a major point waiting until the starting eleven was announced might have been an idea :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,035 ✭✭✭BrianBoru00


    Raging that I missed some good bets lately . however.

    Final day of the NFL today.
    In division 3, Cavan play Antrim. Antrim are safe but cannot be promoted. Cavan need a result to guarentee safety so im backing them at 4/6.
    Tipperary, already relegated against Offaly who can survive only if they win and results go their way so Im backing them at 11/10. Finally Longford will top the group V Wexford - also wualified for final so I think Longford at 4/6 are a good bet. All in all that treble comes to 11/2 so a 20 bet on that.

    Bet #15 Offaly/Cavan/Longford to win today €20 @ 11/2

    Total Bet to date= €420| Total Returns €435.94 | In running €50 | P/L - €15.06

    Bet #22 15 on Boston Celtics at 10/3 with Ladbrokes to beat Miami Heat in game 2 of the NBA semi finals 31 May ...

    Having lost their first game against pre tournament favourites, they really need to win this one against a younger fitter Miami team..... worth a small punt at 10/3

    Hey, just wondering how got €110 from €15 bet at 10/3? Maybe I've missed something :o
    And is your profit not €108.34? Just trying to help :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,035 ✭✭✭BrianBoru00


    21 bets to date........total bet over 21 bets and total returns after 21 bets with that 15 still in running...
    and yup , my mistake - profit should have said 108.34


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 712 ✭✭✭Formation


    Paper trading or actual money?

    if you have a niche with the gaa you should only bet that.

    unless you are very knowledgeable about how to price up a sport you will lose - can you do that with the NBA?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,035 ✭✭✭BrianBoru00


    GAA, NBA, some soccer, would be the main bets in this. I would do some on other sports, including horse racing but the size of the wagers would be smaller in general.
    And actual money where my mouth is bets...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,035 ✭✭✭BrianBoru00


    Bet #23 Longford are a huge price again. I bet 80 that they beat Wexford in the Leinster SFC. The price is 13/8. Im also havin a tenner on the draw at 15/2..
    They bet them in the league final and I think they're a better team than Wexford.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,035 ✭✭✭BrianBoru00


    Late bet..

    Bet #24 Louth to cover the 6 point handicap against the Dubs. Dubs tend to be patchy early on and its a wet day so I think Louth , particularly if they don t concede a goal will be well within 7 points..
    Not "motgage on it" confident but worth a score

    Bet #24 €20 on Louth +6 with Paddy Power @6/4

    Total Bet to date= €720 | Total Returns €803.44 | In running €20 | P/L + €83.44.

    Irish Open Bets
    After the US open disaster I need one of these to click to return me to profit

    I think Darren Clarke is a huge price considering this is his home course So I had 20 EW on him at 50/1 with Boylesports - they had an offer of 1/4 the odds 1,2,3,4,5,6 for an ew bet.
    Also 40 EW on McDowell - his home course at 9/1

    Bet # 30 Darren Clarke 20 EW to win Irish Open @ 50/1
    Bet #31 Graheme McDowell 40 EW to win the Irish open @ 9/1

    Total Bet to date= €965 | Total Returns €803.44 | In running €120 | P/L - €161.56.
