    I also think there is some bit of value in East Kerry at 13/8 against Dingle.
    8/13 looks short for Dingle here imo.

    Great shout here, dominated Dingle.

    Honestly I didn't think it would turn out as such a big win for East Kerry - I just thought Dingle at 8/13 was too short. The big thing for me was the quality of the supporting cast in the East Kerry squad compared to the Dingle squad.

    Thanks to Cap_lock for posting Boyles having East Kerry at 2/1 - increased my stake when I saw that.

    Couldn't believe how easy East Kerry won! All thanks to you as I followed you with East Kerry. Made up for missing out on Derrygonnelly.

    Not sure. Derrygonnelly haven’t really made any impact at Ulster despite dominating Fermanagh the last few years. Cargin I think will edge it, they came out of a much more competitive Antrim championship and I think that will stand to them
    Jesus did I get that wrong!

    Value in Clare SFC final. Kilmurry Ibrickane are 7/4 in what is very much a 50/50 game. Local derby with the two clubs winning 2 championships apiece in last 4 years. Nothing to split them.

    All my talk about them being so close, you'd think I would have back the draw but no!!

    Summerhill are 13/8 to beat Ratoath in the Meath Senior final on Sunday. They were underdogs against Simonstown in the semi final but came through a tough game. Ratoath were awful in the first half of their semi final but came through against a relatively poor Kells side.
    Summerhill are in their third final in a row while this is Ratoath's first ever final. Also, Summerhill are the only side to beat Ratoath in the championship this season and I feel like 13/8 is a huge price for such an experienced side.

    Had a glance at the odds for this weekend's games. I think Castletown are overpriced @ 5/1 with Boyles against Eire Og in the Leinster club SFC first round.
    Wexford champions have a deplorable record in this competiton. But Carlow champions haven't exactly set the world alight either - one win since 2008 (Eire Og v Newtown Blues last year). Castletown have plenty of experienced players like ex- Wexford Anthony Masterson, Colm Morris and James Holmes and current Wexford Conor Carty, Ben Brosnan and Jonathan Bealin. Eire Og are littered with Carlow players but I don't think they should be 1/5 to win.

    Anyone any insight on ferbane? Don't know anything about them but 21/10 about st pats travelling up there could tempt me pats had to play Leinster the day after winning the county final last year but have had 2 weeks to prepare for this year and are moving very well

      Ferbane are a young, up and coming side who had been knocking on the door at semi final and final stages over the past four or five years before finally winning the championship this year. They beat reigning champions Rhode in the final. Rhode were going for a first ever four in a row. I'd imagine that win will give Ferbane serious confidence and belief. Cian Johnson and Joe Maher are their star men in the forwards.

      St Pats stood no chance against Rhode last year having only won Wicklow the day before. It was a disgrace that they were asked to play that game. They will be eager to prove a point I'd say.

      It's actually been 15 years since a Wexford team last won a game in the Leinster club SFC. Castletown's last game in the competition was in 2010 when they ran Meath champions Skryne very close in Navan.

        I should've added that Niall McNamee didn't play for Rhode in the final because of a head injury.

        Kenagh (Longford) versus Berlin (Germany) in junior football QF today. 8/11 with boyles on Kenagh win. Playing at a higher standard has been movement to 8/11 this morning.


      • Registered Users Posts: 116 ✭✭hurler97


        Nemo should do the job over Duhallow tomorrow @4/7 in the Cork SFC final. Word is that Duhallow had only 6 at training last Sunday and not going too well.

        Had it down go 3 or 4 points at one stage in second half. Wasn't at it but fitness and playing at a higher level probably played a part and Kenagh kicked points with no reply to see it out.


      • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,385 ✭✭✭franglan


        Gone for Pearses (Ros) against Tourlastrane (Sligo) this weekend in Connacht senior club. Its now or never for Tourlastrane as multiple Sligo champions. They ran Ballintubber close last year. For me Pearses have won all types of games this year whether it be tight contests or shoot-outs. They have the 3 Daly's, Davy Murray and Hubert D'Arcy who start for Ros plus another Daly who will be near County standard along with Richardson and young Carey who will step up to intercounty in next year or two. @5/6 Pearses are value for me even in Shligo Town!

        Rathdowney-Errill look a good bet at 6-4 v St Rynagh's.

        Agreed. They were as big as 2/1 earlier in the week. Two All Star nominees Paddy Purcell and Jack Kelly, Mark Kavanagh and Roddy King in their side.

        I also fancy the four underdogs in this weekend's Ulster club senior matches. Worth a flutter at good odds especially Casterahan (12/5) playing tired Donegal champions.


      • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,385 ✭✭✭franglan


        Castlerahan at 12/5 and donegal's poor record in ulster and a Wednesday night game. That's nice. Outside of that betting on this club football particularly at the lower grades is a lottery. Boys might have won their first county title ever/in years and are on the absolute booze. Would have little enough interest going toe to toe with some other county champion 6 days after winning their county where the other team are training solid booze free for 2 weeks. Put in a biteen of an effort, lose by a few and the rest of the winter off. G'luk.

        Profit in the end for Jennings, bad year for Mulvihill.

        I'd imagine the ROI for Jennings is poor considering the volume of points staked, but profit is profit I guess.

        Surely better out there, though.

        Sticking in Connacht this weekend. On Pearses - 1 against Tír Connell (London) @4/7 and Kilmaine win against Ballinameen @4/11. Two singles for following reasons:

        Was at Pearses Tourlastrane game last weekend (20 euro in - outrageous). Pearses were way too strong against a poor enough looking Sligo champion, couldn't break through Pearses defense. Daly's stuck in the middle of it with one getting a black and another getting two yellas and getting sent off early in second half. Niall Daly really drove Pearses on, with some super scores from young Carey again I think they'll be too well balanced and a better team compared to their London rivals this weekend.

        In the Junior game Kilmaine seem to score goals for fun no less so than last weekend against Glenamaddy. Held their own and more in Mayo Division 2 and finished close to the promotion spots which is impressive for a junior championship side. Ballinameen were mid table division 3 in Ros and don't have much by way of stand out players. They did well to win Ros Junior championship as they would have been far from favourites, beating a young Brigids B team and they will battle. I think Kilmaine will be too much for them so going for the Mayo Junior runners up!

        I think TCG are going to beat Padraig Pearses today. TCG ran last year's Roscommon champs to five points at Dr Hyde Park having led with 15 minutes to go. They have lost a few players from last year's team but have been boosted by an influx of home grown talent. They came six points down in the London final and completed the double last weekend when winning the league. A London team has never been better prepared. 9/2 with Boyles .

        Double of Kilmaine to win junior Connacht club against St Michaels of Sligo and Templenoe to beat Éire Óg in Munster intermediate. Got the double at just over 6/10. Will fill in more details on why later.

        Kilmaine will be too strong for Sligo champions I'd imagine but interested to know your thoughts on Templenoe. I think the odds are a bit off for the game against Eire Og. Templenoe are overhyped imo because of the fact they have 4 Kerry seniors. Take those four lads out and they're limited enough squad wise and that was evident in their league form this year when they had to forfeit games. Eire Og will have home advantage and with forwards like former All Star Daniel Goulding, Ex Aussie Rules player Ciaran Sheehan and U20 All Ireland winner Colm O Callaghan I can see them troubling Templenoe. Cork midfielder Ronan O Toole also plays with them.

        Agree re: Eire Og, Templenoe are very short at 1/5 or 1/6.

        They only forfeited one game and that was the weekend Kerry were playing Donegal in the senior and Kerry Juniors were playing Galway in the All-Ireland final. Stephen O'Sullivan and John Spillane both played in the Junior game that weekend as well. They also had 3 or 4 lads injured at the same time iirc.

        I don't know if I'd totally agree that they are over-hyped because of the 4 senior lads.

        Beyond the four Kerry Seniors of Tadgh Morley, Gavin Crowley, Adrian Spillane, Cillian Spillane, they have the 2 lads who were with the juniors this year -Stephen O'Sullivan and John Spillane
        Brian Crowley, a brother of Gavin's was invovled with the Kerry Juniors a few years back. They have another player Patrick Clifford who was involved with the Kerry Juniors a few years back as well. I'm nearly certain both of these have been involved with Kerry underage teams.

        They also have a brother of Adrian and Cillian, Tom and they have Pat Jr who is a son of Pat. There are a couple more of lads on the team who I'd put into the category of decent club footballers.

        Their big issue is that they have no squad depth whatsoever.
        For one of the county league games that they did play this summer they had 1 sub who was 47.
        When they can field their strongest 15 Templenoe are a very strong team and I don't think they have any injuries at the moment.

        I do think Templenoe are a bit short but it definitely isn't the case of the 4 Kerry senior lads and 11 others to make up the numbers. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if it was the case that the bigger names on both sides held each other and the 2nd-line guys from Templenoe were the winning of the game for them. I'm saying this not knowing what the quality of the rest of the Eire Og team is like beyond the big names.

        In terms of the Kerry teams in action this weekend it's hard to see Stacks beating Nemo and I wouldn't be at all surprised if Kilshannig beat Na Gaeil. I think there is far more value in backing the two Cork teams in those games, than opposing Templemore.

        Over hyped was probably the wrong term to use but I do feel too much is being made of Templenoe because of their four county seniors. I had read on another forum that Templenoe "had to forfeit county league games this year due to missing the kerry contingent" and took it as gospel! Eire Og have other players that played with Cork at some point including full back John Mullins who captained the county juniors this year, Jack Murphy who was a substitute for the U20s, Kevin Hallissey who I think has played all levels for Cork, Eoin O'Shea and a number of players from their U21 team who were recently beaten in the A semi final. Ciaran Sheehan has been used as an impact sub as well. I actually wouldn't be surprised if Eire Og turned them over. The venue is worth a few points too.

        Lot of good lads on twitter and doing blogs for other sites. @GAApicks on Twitter are good, and don’t shoot out 40 points a weekend like DJ

        End of Season P/L for Racing Post Tipsters:

        Jennings: +25.13
        Mulvihill: -31.24

        Profit in the end for Jennings, bad year for Mulvihill.

        I'd imagine the ROI for Jennings is poor considering the volume of points staked, but profit is profit I guess.

        Surely better out there, though.

        You do understand that like any tipsters employed by a paper they have to provide X amount of bets whether they see value or not, its not like they can be selective.

        Still on the Pearses bandwagon. Heavy pitch, Pearses defensively solid, will stick men back if needed. Will stick county men back if needed. Plus 9 handicap @1/4. I actually think this could be quite close and you can get 11/2 on a Pearses win which is excellent value if you like longshot odds.

        under 28.5 points with bet365 might be a bet if it is likely to be a low-scoring defensive game.

        See plenty writers in the post do sensible bets and probably actually back them.

        You are not comapring like with like, GAA is only on once a week for a set period of time, wouldn't be much of a tipster column to simply say 'no bets for me this week as I dont see any value', which is in reality the case the majority of weekends for a serious punter. The real comparable Tipster in the Racing Post I would suggest is 'Pricewise' who is obliged to provide a big priced cvalue bet in the big race every week wether it exists or not and as a result his ROI and strikerate have diminished significantly over time.

        I have no idea what you consdier a 'sensible bet' or how you have come to conclusion that plenty of unnamed tipsters are actually backing their selections but the two GAA tipsters are not, are you privy to information that we are not?

        RP issue is likely poor use of staking plan, lots guys will punt a small couple euro on weekend to get feel, but maybe once a month place a large wager

        Absolutely, it's a very difficult position for a tipster to be in, having to provide 'x' amount of bets every week. I doubt there is anyone blindly following either of them, if they are it is what I would call a 'stupid tax' and they deserve to lose their money!

        Anybody with much of an opinion on st Mullins . Did they catch cuala on the hop or are they at that level. The minus 9 looks tempting as ballyhale would beat a lot of county teams .

        Corofin are favourites but I think I'll have a bit on Nemo at 5/2, their defence is really good and in a tight game that might be crucial, revenge for 2 years ago also will be a driving force.

        Had Nemo +3 myself. Expected them to do well. Hopefully they can get going.
        Corofin making them look like a junior team at the moment.

        On corofin over 15.5 point at evens. Halfway there at half time. They've been wasteful enough tbh.
