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.

Phelan put up that Laois hurling team were a shambles and that Powers handicap was about 10 points off. As a result all the associated markets were off too. He advised taking a bank of 20 pts and punting it in a series of bets he put up

Every single one went in

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

The Vikings will definitely be taking a QB I have my doubts that Bortles will be left by 8 but we'll see. But I reckon the Browns will definitely take a QB to so I think they take Bortles. Possibly Bridgewater for the Vikings.

Only bet I've done on it is clowney to go first at 2s and 7/4. 4/9 now but he should be a 10s on shot IMO. Although If Houston don't take him I'll vomit he is the obvious pick.

Vikes is 50/50 for QB at 8 at this stage, check out any of their sites. Dilynorseman is a good one. Browns will probably take one later, not at 4. Bridgewater hasnt an utter notion of going at 8, he'll be 20's + anyway. If he goes in top 5 after me laying my balls on at 4/7 over 5.5 ill be jumping in a river. Bortles is currently 5/4 under 8.5 on 5dimes. Agree on Clowney, have him backed at 13/8 aswell

I don't read to much into various sites so am only going on what I see. Although I get what your saying with Bridgewater I just think that if Bortles and football are gone he has to be the next QB to go. So I dunno I'm only going on what I think myself there are obviously a lot more clued in people out there like yourself.

Ah I wouldnt say that, Id look like a novice compared to some on the NFL forum. I think I know the right sites and experts to look at though, and a lot of the odds the last few weeks havent corresponded to what these experts have been saying, which is mostly what im going on along with US bookies

Ya the nfl forum here is quite good. Haven't posted on there in a couple of years.
It wouldn't be something I'd ever look to much into the markets on bar 1st round pick. So I tend not to read to much into it although I do watch the combine most years and the pro days if I can get the highlights somewhere.

Hey hulk anywhere to get an over/under on Jake Matthews. Can't see on odds checker.

Hulk Hands · 08-05-2014 08:01PM

Nah, first tackle is all

Meh just looks big in the first over all market compared to the likes of Bridgewater, Bortles, Watkins etc at 100/1 with paddypower when he will more than likely go before some of them. Was thinking if you could get under 7/8 or so it might be a bet.

Where are your sources saying he will go??

kiers47 · 08-05-2014 08:14PM

Was thinking the bucs would probably take him if he was still available then.

Hulk Hands · 08-05-2014 09:52PM

Depends on the Rams. If they go tackle second, then Mathews at 6. Otherwise maybe 7 or more likely 9. The reason hes bigger in the outright is that the Texans dont need an OT, whereas they do need a QB. Doesnt matter anyway, its 1/8 Clowney, 8/1 Mack, a million bar

Ah ya he is never going first It just seems ridiculous that Bridgewater is half his price considering that he is the third best QB. I know it doesn't work like that but was curious to see what the line would be.

kiers47 · 08-05-2014 10:02PM

So your thinking Tampa go with Barr then is it so the bills take Matthews. I was thinking the bills might take a WR.

kiers47 · 08-05-2014 10:03PM

Would like to see Matthews left till 15 for personal reasons

haha

Ive 25/1 on Manziel going to Tampa so thats what im hoping! Tampa and Mike Evans seems likely in that scenario

NaiveMelodies · 08-05-2014 10:13PM

Was laughed at when I mentioned that Israel bet today in work, hadn't even thought about the politics involved but in hindsight what a ridiculously stupid punt!

I'm not ribbing at all btw, had a score on the top 10 finish myself and feel like a right mug!

The Austrian fella/lady surely has a great shout!

kiers47 · 08-05-2014 10:15PM

So do you think the first QB goes at 7? I think the browns have to take a QB to be honest.

naughto · 08-05-2014 10:17PM
