The Daily bets, Banter & Accumulators thread III

Gun to my head I'd pick Atletico. Surprised they are not favourites, and at 2.2 (various), I'll certainly be having a nibble.

Might consider backing a 1-1 draw or centre backs as FGS too.

Well, hypothetically, some of us could have bet on Atletico outright and Real/Ronaldo winner/top scorer double at the start of the tournament, and then we wouldn't need to bother with any match betting tonight and the only thing we would have to worry about was Atletico winning 10-0 and Griezeman scoring all the goals.

Hypothetically...

Betting isn't a bother or obligation. You don' have to bet in every match (in fact that would not work well), and it makes sense to look at odds for the final even if one of the teams is your outright pick. You backing madird outright doesn't mean you can't find good value in this specific match.

Taken Ronaldo to be booked @4.7 on betfair.

Not a stranger to a card when facing Atletico. Got booked for whipping his shirt off after scoring against them in the last champions league final they met in - although that was in extra time.

He's had injury issues too which I'm hoping will help pull a card from him.



Taken a decent stake on over 10.5 Asian corners @1.850 to activate the 365 bet offer too.

Good luck tonight lads

Torres to score, 4.2 on betfair

Over 10 corners as me pre game.

BTTS to score FH / Godin to score / High corner line are the in plays I'm contemplating

all in all, winnings of 2.6 times my total stake, off to enjoy a pint outside in the sun now!

Bray very poor this season. Half the players didn't bother showing up for pre season by all accounts.

Posted this in the Irish thread as one of our Outright bets (which has won), basically loads of money was put into Bray and loads of pressure on Mick Cooke to deliver. He didn't and got sacked, they're back in the manager merry go round like they were last season. On paper, they're not bad but their off the field situation is a shambles for the past 18 months.

"Mick Cooke - Premier Division Sack Race @ 7/1 (Paddy Power) – Novelty Bet Stake
“Applies to next manager to leave his position by any means whether it's by resigning or getting sacked”
At first look, it’s hard to see where the first manager casualty will come from with Tony Cousins favourite at 3/1. Cousins has been with Longford since 2009 and has brought them promotion along with a good mid table finish in 2015. Ollie Horgan gained Harps Premier Division status! Shane Keegan, Dave Robertson, Kenny Shields, Tommy Dunne are all signed on 2 year deals. You’d expect Liam Buckley and Pat Fenlon to be ok once they challenge for the League, likewise Caulfield and Kenny. Tommy Dunne should have no problems at Galway this season with some much poorer teams coming into the Division, while Keith Long will look to maintain a midtable position with Bohs.
Mick Cooke will be expected to deliver early on with Bray, he was the 4th manager of the club last season with the Board falling out with Alan Mathews and Trevor Croly publicly. There seems to be heavy investment in Bray this season and any failings of Mick Cooke to establish a comfortable 5th or 6th position early on could see him leaving the Carlisle Grounds."

Would you fancy them to beat Longford? How bad are Longford compared to Bray?

Both are very poor, Longford had a mini run of a cupla good results, drawing away to us when we played terribly badly and drawing at Pats a cupla weeks later. Longford would have more attacking ability but are worse at the back, not a game I'd be going near.
