I always assumed a point is your level of stake.
1pt = €5 therefore 5pts = €25 10pts profit = €50
1pt = €10 therefore 5pts = €50 10pts profit = €100
Sorry I never even read the thing, I just assumed it was higher based on the odds at the end but you’re right and I apologise.
Ah, it’s simpler than I thought.
I was confused with lads on here losing and claiming to have more than I thought they should.
U21 result.
Dublin 0-21 Offaly 0-8
Final in Wexford Park on 13th July. Should be a good game. I hope that mouthy Danny Sutcliffe lad has copped on in the last year. :guns:
Dublin played against the breeze in the first half and were 0-6 0-2 early on.
Looking at doing this speculative accumulator this weekend.
Wexford (-7) V Carlow 11/10
Antrim (-3) V Carlow 4/7
Laois (-2) V Tipp 4/5
Down (-6) V Clare 4/6
Pays out at just under 9/1. Cant see this not coming off( this is my standard thinking before I enrich Paddy Powers even more than currently).
Do the Wexicans believe that they will cover the handicap against Carlow? They have been very free scoring thus far in the championship and I’m hoping for a repeat performance on Sunday. Antrim are at home against Carlow and Casement park is a tough ground to go to. Cant see Tipp getting that close to Laois but not sure if Laois will put up a big score so keeping the margin low. I think Down could batter Clare but the fact its in Ennis might provide some motivation to keep the score respectable.
Thoughts?
I think 7 is a big handicap to cover in football and i wouldnt take that on. Down should be more comfortable against Clare but again it’s a big ask for not much price. Not shooting the proposals down but I prefer to go in running on games like that and hope underdog gets an early point or two.
I’d be surprised if Clare didn’t put up a good show after the tragedy the panel went through a couple of weeks ago
Usually I’d agree on the size of the handicap but Wexford have won their two games to date by margins of 16 and 12 points whilst only scoring 3 goals in those games. Carlow squeezed past Louth by a point. It was a great result for Carlow but I think Louth are nowhere the team they were last year. If Wexford get a run on Carlow I think they could hammer them.
Possibly but AFAIK some players have left the panel since. Gordon Kelly is gone to the US and I think one or two otehrs may have left too. Its very hard to see Clare gettting anyway close to Down. Took a bad beating from Cork and morael in the camp cant be great. If Down get an early goal then it could be a cricket score.
is that game in croke park? If so it should suit the likes of Lyng and Brosnan. Wexford have far more Croke Park experience that Carlow. Also the suspicion that Carlow will be happy with their win against Louth. I think Wexford will win easy but a seven point win in football is a bit of a hammering anyway. I think that game is priced right to be honest.
Ya its on In Croke Park, double header with KIldare V Dublin. Anyone got any opinions on this. Kildare are far too wasteful IMO, kicking an average of 15/16 wides every game. Dublin should have enough to beat them but I never back Dublin. Always think they are prone to imploding.
Meath are 5/6 -2 free money
Wexford have beaten better teams by more already this year.
Carlow are a poor division 4 side who snuck by Louth.
Offaly by 14, Westmeath by 12.
I think there is value in -7.
I might shave off a couple of points as insurance.
As I said last week the Donegal/Kildare double is worth doing.
As far as I know Dublin to lead at half time but Kildare to win is 13/2. That’s definitely worth a flutter with Dublin typically being quick starters and Kildare tending to wear teams down as the game goes on. Kildare’s so called wastefuless in front of goal is much overstated in my view.

18 wides agianst Meath and had something like 10 in the second half alone agoianst Wicklow! Thats farily wasteful whatever way you care to measure it. I think they will get very close but unless their shooting improves I cant see them winning.
I don’t see it not improving significantly and the sheer amount of chances they create should make Dublin suppporters very worried.
Both Westmeath and Offaly stopped playing with 20 mins left and our lads just tapped over points like a training session. I can’t see Carlow giving it as easy. I’m confident we should win it easy but I don’t think the scorelines from our last 2 games have been a true reflection and we have some weaknesses in our Full Back line which if exposed will cause major trouble. Offaly should have had 4 goals against us and Dolan and Glennon ran amuck until we cut off the supply into them and moved Molloy onto Dolan.
Maybe I’m just being pessimistic for fear of being overconfident and I do expect we should win it comfortably. But I think the media are blowing up the margin of victory in the last 2 games as they know fuck all else about our team and it’s an easy story to talk about “Free scoring Wexford”.
Am tempted by the following all with BlueSq
Kildare +3 10/11
Donegal +2 10/11
Meath -2 1/1
Monaghan -2 10/11
Offaly +8 1/1
Pays nearly 27/1 but the cunts won’t allow an accum on it as some of the bets can’t be combined. Have done some cross trebles on the above.
Boyles pay about 22/1 but you have to take Monaghan -3 and Offaly +7.
Any thoughts on London vs Fermanagh? Surely London will never have a better chance to win a “big” game.
Also, based on what I’ve seen of them, Wexford minors are too big at 3/1 for me to pass up.
Fully expect to be 1/20 after this weekend
