Have an awful feeling City might bottle this, either tonight or Sunday...

Think Joseph has chosen the wrong horse in the Dee stakes and Century is a very good bet at 4s especially with 3 places e/w

Colonel Sanders · 07-05-2014 08:30PM

Market's saying Manziel is 1st QB to go. Strangely some of the associated markets aren't picking it up.

Ladbrokes still betting as you were on his position

Michael Sam line is now 152.5 (and over is favourite) & the McCarron market's been pulled

FFS.

Thank Christ.

Hulk or others, if you've a strong opinion on Johnny Manziel's draft position there's a 100% book on

10/11 under 4.5 with Ladbrokes

11/10 5th or later (i.e. over 4.5) with Skybet

Evs first QB picked

UrbanSea · 07-05-2014 10:16PM

Is Manziel fancied to be first pick

Johner · 07-05-2014 10:31PM

Don't know anything about American football but saw this video posted about some college dude going into the draft. Looks like a beast.

I'll take two please.

First QB I will say yes but if the Texans don't take Clowney first they are fools. Players of his Calibre don't come around to often. Plus I don't think they need a QB as much as others. I think if the jaguars or the rams don't take manziel which is a possibility, I have a funny feeling the browns are favouring Bortles.

Johner · 07-05-2014 10:40PM

What about my guy? Is he going to be picked.

G'wan the Black Mamba.

run forest run

He will definitely be drafted I'd say johner probably won't go till one of the later rounds though somewhere between the 4th and 6th rounds I'd say depending on what way it goes up until then.

Id be slightly favoring the under but im balls deep already on first QB. I can back under 5.5 at 4/5 with an American book. Evs first QB is still way too big, completely at odds with what the US bookies are saying. I backed the over Sam again today at 149.5

I was looking at backing over on Sam again but basically have a silly amount tied up on a sport I know nothing about!

Should be money in the bank on the Sam & McCarron bets anyhow

Last time I looked at 5Dimes Manziel was 4 on to go before Bortles

Caveat, I know zero about this but have been told Bortles will go to Minnesota at number 8?

I support those, looking less likely as we get closer, a lot of reports now theyll swerve QB. Drafts are class, its the one thing US sports def have over others

Declan Phelan has started a Eurovision gamble on Israel

He has a thread on the Betfair forum, posts as "Keen Leader". In fairness he's as shrewd as they come on most things punting related he posts about

The "Cork episode" he speaks of was when Cork hurlers did a Larry Murphy job on Laois in 2011

That was the greatest thread in the history or the world

No the greatest thread on there was the stories of people in the gambling shops, or else the one where that lad was doing his nuts Breeders Cup night. Laying Ravens Pass and backing Curlin were the last ones.

Theres small bits of value with ladbrokes, like over 5.5 receivers imo. But tbh all the big value is gone, firms have copped on to the mess theyve been leaving up the last few weeks as we get close to it.

Its on at 1 in the morn tomorrow night, and would be very very boring for a non NFL fan. Better off keeping your money for a bet you'll watch and enjoy, now that theres no 'free money' bets left

tomaussie · 07-05-2014 11:22PM

Any other sites like oddschecker ?
