Average punters punts

There is nothing to be gained for Laois by winning this game, if anything it would probably be in their interest to lose it and have some motivation going into the relegation final. Who knows if they put out an “experimental” team of their own…

That’s also a risk Dunph.

Chewy, handicaps are around the 5 - 6 point mark. Laois +6 with Hills @ 4/5 and +5 at evens elsewhere. Wexford -6 @ evens with Hills and -5 at evens elsewhere.

I will be steering clear of this, but i wish you well with your endeavor, mac

I’ll hold tough and back them in the relegation final proper.

Teddy McCarthy might do something similar :ph34r:

Wexford team named

A full back / centre back playing in midfield. One of our best half backs playing centre forward. Paul Roche starting at Full back having not played in a while. Gizzy still reported not match fit but starts. Rory Jacob out of form also starts. On mature reflection I’m beginning to think this game should be avoided from a betting perspective but will decide when I see the Laois team.[list=1]

This is the definition of a “no bet”, especially because we’re playing them again shortly in a meaningful game.

who in their right mind would bet their own cash in a mickey mouse division 2 game in march?

The shrewdies

Newcastle to beat Liverpool @ 85/40
Bolton to beat Wolves @ 85/40
Stoke to beat Wigan @ 15/8

Opinions from the soccerball experts on all the above please. Would have had all teams much shorter. Bolton and Stoke are both away from home but their opposition is shite.

Bolton to beat Wolves would be a cert. I fancy Wigan to get something at Stoke. Newcastle should win but Liverpool have a habit of fucking up in the straightforward games and playing better in the more difficult matches.

Few bets that take my mind this week.

Catania-Milan (draw @ 3.35)

Catania are playing really well at the minute and it’s proven to be a very difficult venue for opposing teams, they are well organised in defence and have plenty of troublesome players in attack.

Inter to beat Genoa @ 1.61

Think the new coach will get off to a winning start here.

Juventus-Napoli (over 2.5 goals @ evens)

The corresponding fixture finished 3-3 earlier on this season and there are always goals when Napoli play.

Anyone have the handicap betting for the Galway Kilkenny match?

Galway +4 are evens with PP.

I disagree. Wolves seem capable of a decent performance every so often and I believe Friend of the Forum “Big” Mick McCarthy was at their training ground during the week to give a few pointers. So with all that in mind, it’s a game I wouldn’t bet on, or if I had to, I’d go for a Wolves win. Republic of Ireland legend “Lawro” agrees with me, by the way.

Think I will be backing Kilkenny to beat that. Galway supposedly looked a tired team last weekend and have been playing every week since mid january between Walsh Cup, League and Interpro’s

One for the rugby enthusiast around here, which there are many. All games tonight. Connacht have

Connacht + 10 evs
Scarlets + 3 10/11
Glasgow -2 10/11

works out at 6.28/1 with bet 365.

Stay away from Scarlets there Anto. Also Connacht have had a long hard season and put a lot into their last game which they lost, again, to Munster. Dragons -10 is the bet there.

Has the Kilkenny team been named yet?

If it is fairly strong, I will be having a substantial cut off Kilkenny -4 at 10/11.

Looking at doing the overs in the Waterford/Dublin game, +40.5 is 5/6 with PP, both teams well able to score if conditions are half decent. Also looking at the overs in the Cork/Tipp game. +41.5 is also 5/6 with PP. This could be tighter given Tipp’s recent inability/reluctance to take goals but isn’t a huge target.

Will have a look at Wateford as well. Dublin may well rest players as they have nothing to play for with a relagation game coming a week later. Waterord into 10/11 now but Handicap of -2 is 6/4. Tempting.

May have a cut off KK too depending on team. Will be better than last week but Galway are so unpredictable its not that tempting.

Glasgow cover the handicap by 25 points , Connacht cover the handicap by 22 points and fucking Scarlets land right on the handicap of 3 points, awful way to lose the bet.
