    Coming up to that time of year again. Racing post preview out on Monday so will do a decent acca once I've had a good read of that, never landed a glove last year with my main acca so hoping for better this year! Had a look at the betting there for the main leagues, Leeds and Birmingham strongly fancied at 3/1 and 2/1. Betfair gave me some 30% multiple bet boosts so did an early acca of: Villa top half finsih, Leeds top 6, Birmingham, Celtic , Inter , Real Madrid outright, MK Dons top 7 @41/1.

    Forgot about the pullout with it being a Bank Holiday. Any kind soul willing to summarise like in previous years? Interested in an English league accum - got good run for money last year when the RP hit three from four.

    I've just bet Galatasaray to win the 'League Stage' of the Europa League at 18/1, and to finish in the top 8 of the same stage at 6/4

    I don't think the bookies have quite as much of a handle on this new format as normal, and some teams seem to be being priced on reputation rather than pricing them based on their fixtures and how likely they are to garner lots of points in this stage.

    Galatasaray have drawn arguably the two weakest teams left in the competition in Riga FS and Elfsborg, three other winnable games in PAOK, Malmo and Dynamo Kiev, and managed to bag arguably the weakest pot 1 team in Ajax to complement this list

    further more, since the draw was made they signed a top striker in Osimhen, and I don't think many books updated their prices off the back of that

    can't believe Galatasaray chucked a 2-0 lead in Riga! 🤦‍♂️



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3 Gaga00


    In this champions league season I think all favorites are winning their games.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,840 ✭✭✭✭Loafing Oaf


    Fernandes, Odegaard, Palmer and Salah each to assist 10+ league goals @  6/1

    Bruno, Salah and Palmer all notched today; if it wasn't for Odegaard's injury I'd say this one had a good chance of landing by Christmas

    On the other hand I'm thinking about suing wherever I got the tips for this one, I'd swear it was Racing Post

    @ 12.5/1 Blackburn  @  7/2 Championship relegation/Hearts @ Scottish Premiership Winner Without Celtic & Rangers



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,457 ✭✭✭✭Collie D


    Over half-way through the season and I'm calling time on the league winner bets. Promotion treble still a runner but likely relying on playoffs for Bolton - price for the treble now @ 17/1.

    Went in again last week with another bet for rest of the season - trebles and accum.

    Newcastle top 4 finish @ 9/4

    Cardiff relegation @ 2/1

    Crawley relegation @ 5/6

    Accrington relegation @ 11/2

    Accrington the dodgy one and had a good away win the day after I placed the bet which wasn't the start I was looking for but hopefully get a run for money while not giving up completely on my original promotion treble.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,840 ✭✭✭✭Loafing Oaf


    Leverkusen, atletico, Inter, Villa & Barcelona all to win outright

    These all in top 8 as of tonight. Only Barca at single-figure odds for the title though…

    Backing these up for the knockout stages with Bayern outright and Benfica to reach final



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 131 ✭✭sojustrutz


    This one has some legs going into the last couple months of the season. Doncaster and Madrid the main worries. Annoyingly Doncaster blew a 2-0 lead at home to Swindon last week and could have done with Madrid getting knocked out of the CL, but getting a good spin for my money and got a bit of a sweat for the run in.

    Doncaster top of league 2 but Barca can't be stopped at the moment. They are currently 1/9 on, I'm hoping they drop some points and the price drops to a point where I can hedge a bit, but I'm not optimistic on this. I'm also gonna do a Barca / Bilbao double for the CL/Europa at 9/1.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,037 ✭✭✭✭mailburner


    I'm on the bilbao madrid double so seeing barca go two behind and manage to win in injury time pretty much

    finished off that bet

    I do have bilbao backed at 6s also, hoping they end utd's run of luck in the Europa league

    Also have Betis backed at 4s chelsea just way to short at odds on for this



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 131 ✭✭sojustrutz


    Nice odds on bilbao, can't see united getting past them on current form and then you'd have to fancy them against spurs/bodo. Hadn't even looked at the conference league, but you're right 4/11 for chelsea is a horrific price. Gonna do a treble on Barca/Bilbao/Betis , 46/1 on pp currently, worth a small bet.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,037 ✭✭✭✭mailburner


    Yeah

    winner of the utd bilbao tie wins it outright for me

    The price on betis hasn't changed much tbh 5/1 on march 17, 4/1 on march 23 and now bigger with only 4 left 🤷

    It's a one horse race according to the bookies, chelsea were 8/13 when I took 5s



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,840 ✭✭✭✭Loafing Oaf


    Wrexham to be promoted & Shrewsbury to be relegated @  10/1

    Well Wrexham delivered for me yesterday (although money yet to come through) so season not a total write-off. For a long time my other League 1 acca

    Birmingham to be promoted, Huddersfield to finish in top 6 & Charlton to finish in top half @  4/1

    was looking a better, well, bet, but Huddersfield ran out of steam towards the end

    Other still viable ones:

    Crystal Palace to finish in top half, Mateta to score 15+ league goals & Eze to assist 10+ league goals @  20/1

    @ 19.27/1 Dortmund  @  8/15 German Bundesliga Top 4 Finish/Brighton @  10/11 Premier League Top Half Finish/Atlético Madrid @  10/11 Spanish La Liga Without Barcelona & Real Madrid/Inter @  8/11 Italian Serie A Winner/ Marseille @  11/10 French Ligue 1 Top 4 Finish

    Barcelona or Inter to win CL

    This too in theory I suppose but I think Odegaard would have to notch 4 before the end. AFAIK neither Bruno nor Palmer have reached the mark either. Funny how these things ebb & flow across a season…

    Fernandes, Odegaard, Palmer and Salah each to assist 10+ league goals @  6/1

    Bruno, Salah and Palmer all notched today; if it wasn't for Odegaard's injury I'd say this one had a good chance of landing by Christmas



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 131 ✭✭sojustrutz


    Doncaster up, all on madrid now. Need barca to drop some points. They have a couple of tricky games in the run in with espanyol , bilbao and el classico. Not optimistic , but still am in with a shout. If barca go to 1/4 ish I'll hedge to lock in some profit.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,037 ✭✭✭✭mailburner


    can’t believe this


    Bilbao gone and it’s only half time



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 131 ✭✭sojustrutz


    Mad to see united who can't hit a barn door put three past the best defense in la liga, funny old game. But if anyone can throw away a 3-0 lead it's united.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 131 ✭✭sojustrutz


    My 3 'to be promoted ' teams have all gone and won their leagues @ 120/1 . A bit sick about not doing an acca on that.
