    Some promising ties for consideration. None worth a jot on thier own as straight wins but chain them together....all home wins (bar one) btw.

    Chelsea - Sunderland
    Everton -Fulham
    Man Utd - Derby
    Reading - Liverpool (okay this is the sole away gig and depends entirely on the starting 11 - Torres/Gerrard starts and its a win)

    Leeds - Huddersfield
    Leyton Orient -Cheltenham

    Hereford - Lincoln City
    MK Dons - Accrington Stanley

    Aldershot v Stafford Rangers
    Torquay v Altrincham

    I'll let you look at the tables and think about what combos to try out :)

    Mike.

    For the prem accum a €10 will net you €31.69. So its just over 2/1.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,698 ✭✭✭IrishMike


    United are 1-10.
    No real point including them tbh.
    Payout is €30 including them, €28 if you dont.


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,454 ✭✭✭✭cson


    Still, not a rat arse chance in hell they'll lose at home to Derby. Might as well bang them in anyways.

    I think we should nominate someone to pick a list of games each week, like mike65 has done above and we all have to make an accumulator from that list.
    Then the first poster to win gets to pick the list of games.
    maximum bet 4 euro.
    what ye think?

    I like that idea, I guess the 'winner' is whoever gets closest to a win if no bet comes in.

    Mike.


  • Registered Users Posts: 274 ✭✭mox54


    Dotsflan, is your fun accum all to win or how have you done it, I may give that a go for the craic.:cool:

    mike65, maybe we could do it in a new thread (dated) each week and limited to 5 or 6 english games. I nominate yourself to kickstart it with some of the above games.

    Yeah its all to win. Just picked them going on recent form. thought the price was a bit big but thats what it worked out at on the PP calculator:D:D Happy days if it comes in will cover me for the christmas feast of racing (fingers crossed)


  • Registered Users Posts: 274 ✭✭mox54


    that's a great idea, had a crack at doing this a few weeks ago and had 6 results out of 7 and could have done very well for 10 yo-yo's, I'm in if this goes ahead!!

    macshadow, I'll start with this thread as its the one for this weekend

    6 Teams from any division including the Blue Square Premier Table (Conference)

    Chelsea
    Man Utd
    Everton
    Hereford
    MK Dons
    Celtic (-1) (missed Leeds being an early KO)

    5 on 35 back.

    Should all bets be for a straight win? or are variations allowed?

    Mike.


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,454 ✭✭✭✭cson


    I kinda made a half arsed effort at a thread, but I think maybe a comp amongst ourselves with everyone starting at say €20 and seeing how much they can get it up to. Who'll be boards top tipster? :p


  • Registered Users Posts: 485 ✭✭macshadow


    Mike, I think variations allowed because the odds on straight win on some games are a bit short. Right here we go;)
    Chelsea-under 2.5
    Man utd-over 2.5
    Everton-win
    Leeds-win
    Hereford-win
    Mk Dons-draw
    4 euro pays 153


  • Registered Users Posts: 485 ✭✭macshadow


    It sounds a good idea cson but might be tricky keeping track of the odds and results for each poster.

    Thats why I think we should keep it to Prem and Champs League Matches to start with, keep it to a max of 5/6 folds, start everyone on €20, and just see how it goes.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 257 ✭✭63587614


    I like this idea guys. To be honest I think the premiership market top 3 and Champions leage and UEFA Cup is where the punter can make money.

    My strategy is to keep to a maximum of 3 fold bets.

    I like Chelsea under 2.5 Goals.

    Eveton.


    50 EUR win on Double.

    My maxim. Is to win not give away money. Well try not to anyway.

    Saturday, 08 December 2007
    Aston Villa v Portsmouth, 12:45 Draw @ 9/4
    Chelsea v Sunderland, 15:00 Chelski @ 1/6
    Everton v Fulham, 15:00 Everton @ 4/7
    Man Utd v Derby, 15:00 ManYoo @ 1/10
    Newcastle v Birmingham, 15:00 Newky @ 5/6
    Reading v Liverpool, 17:15 Pool @ 4/7

    Sunday, 09 December 2007
    Blackburn v West Ham, 16:00 'Ammers 10/3
    Bolton v Wigan, 15:00 Draw @ 9/4
    Middlesbrough v Arsenal, 13:30 Arse @1/2
    Tottenham v Man City, 15:00 Draw @ 12/5

    Right, what to, what to do, decisions decisions.

    Ok, my crystal ball is telling me thus;
    Man Utd -1 @ 1/3
    Liverpool @ 4/7
    Chelsea @ 1/6
    Everton @ 4/7
    Over 2.5 Spurs City @ 4/5

    €5 Accum = €34.57


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,698 ✭✭✭IrishMike


    Why are we not just putting all this into your accumulator thread cson?
    Seems strange

    Anyway speaking of the weekend just want to point out a game that not everyone would normally be betting on.

    Southend v Swindon

    A decent bet on a home win. Swindon have no manager, no chairman, a take
    over just collapsed and are basically in turmoil off the field. Add to that 3 key
    suspensions, and 2 key injuries and the fact they had a trip all the way to
    Carlisle mid week (which they lost 3-0) means the team isn't in the best shape either.
    The captain has just admited he fears the club will get dragged into a relegation
    battle...even though they are 14th!!!!!
    They also have 1 away win all season
    Southend are up to 6th and only leeds and swansea have more home wins this season
    They are priced @ 4/5 and are too good to pass up IMHO!

    -- Just saw on another forum Swindon expected to field up to 3 youth team players.


  • Registered Users Posts: 40,867 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6


    1 Sevilla v Murcia (Backing Sevilla OR The Draw @ 1.13)
    2 Celtic v St Mirren (Backing Celtic @ 1.15)
    3 Chelsea v Sunderland (Backing Chelsea @ 1.21)
    4 Man Utd v Derby (Backing Man Utd @ 1.1)
    5 MK Dons v Accrington S (Backing MK Dons OR The Draw @ 1.13)
    6 B Munich v Duisburg (Backing B Munich @ 1.16)
    7 *******cos v Levadiakos (Backing *******cos @ 1.12)

    €5 wins €7.55


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,307 ✭✭✭quazzy

    Had Swindon in a double with Everton.
    They waited until the 90 minute to win after coming from 1-0 down.
