    Fancy Hull v Liverpool? Over 3.5 goals? ;)

    (Sunday) Arsenal v Boro, now Boro seem to do fairly well against Gooners who have patched up defence but Boro are luckless for the most part only win for months against Hull.

    West Brom v Sunderland, Brom scored a few against City but thats no hard thing, Sunderland may be worth a draw no bet.

    Everton v City. Fancy home win.

    I think newcastle will beat portmouth on monday night! shearer will have had a bit of time with the squad now and if they dont win there gone IMO;)

    Arsenal are close to 1/2 against Middlesborough. At home. On form. Am i missing something? :confused:

    Seems a very good price regardless of whether Boro are fighting for their lives.

    Another inviting price is Fulham at 4/5 at home to Stoke. I know Stoke are on a good run, but when you look at Fulham's home record and Stoke's away record this seems like an attractive price. Plus Stoke have achieved safety so don't have quite as much to play for.

    And Everton at close to Evs against Man City seems good also.

    Over 2.5 at 10/11 looks tempting


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,952 ✭✭✭Morzadec


    Okay I've gone for one 6-fold and 20 trebles on the following:

    Bayern Munich against Schalke
    Chelsea against West Ham
    Fulham against Stoke
    Everton against Man City
    Arsenal against Middlesborough
    Birmingham against Preston

    playing utd on the tuesday after and as you said boro are fighting for their lives. i would definitely expect an arsenal win but 1/2 isn't that shocking i don't think.

    I think il go for

    pool
    everton
    fulham
    bolton

    slightly better than 12/1. bolton are at home to villa which is obviously difficult but theyre 2/1 which is a fantastic price imo. does anyone know do bolton still have anything to play for tho?

    Premier League survival - they're not quite out of the relegation battle yet. Having said that they would probably be quite happy with a draw. Tough game to call IMO I'm going to steer clear

    Liverpool
    Leeds
    Rochdale 9/2ish


  • Registered Users Posts: 540 ✭✭✭fonda


    Was looking at

    Wolfsburg
    Leverkusen
    Arsenal
    Newcastle draw no bet
    Liverpool -1
    Fulham draw no bet

    Pays about 11/1

    Agree with everything said here.

    Arsenal
    Fulham
    Everton

    That will be my treble for the weekend.

    Anyone backing Newcastle needs their head examined.


  • Registered Users Posts: 98 ✭✭tuff1


    united, chelsea, liverpool, arsenal
    all to win 4/1
    imo the only slip up cud be chelsea away to west ham


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 104 ✭✭JCos


    United away to Spurs is no banker, especially the way they've been playing. 4/1 is not a great price at all on that.

    Utd are at home

    Arsenal, Fulham, Sunderland.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,030 ✭✭✭jacool


    Only bet I can see in the EPL as the title race and CL places are all but decided. Teams still in the CL will be resting "key" players, but Everton must be on a high now, and could have won midweek at Chelsea. Manchester City don't travel well !

    Fair enough, I still would be putting any money on them.

    I wouldnt touch Arsenal or Chelsea this weekend - they have virtually nothing to play for in the League and will surely be focusing on their CL games next week. Of course they are better than their opposition at the weekend and should win but from a gambling viewpoint - stay away especially from Chelsea.

    Everton have to be the NAP of the weekend matches @ 5-6 PP


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16 CraicAddict


    Derry City 8/15
    Liverpool 2/5
    Chelsea 3/4
    John Higgins 4/9
    Cork 4/6

    Paddy Power prices

    8 to 1

    Keep it cheap and cheery

    Not sure about betting on Wolves - they've been promoted and might ease off now. Or they could finish with a flourish of course but I'd not risk a bet on what mood they happen to be in.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,952 ✭✭✭Morzadec


    Some tempting bets on the Fulham Stoke match:

    Fulham clean sheet at 11/10: Fulham have an excellent defensive record, especially at home. Stoke are missing their main goal threat in James Beattie. Their other main methods of scoring are set pieces which Fulham seem to be good at defending, and Rory Delap throw-ins which only seem to work at the Brittania. Then again if you can get Fulham win at 3/4 maybe this is a better bet.

    Less than 2.5 goals at 4/6 For similar reasons as above. I dont see Fulham conceding and don't see them scoring much, both teams have been solid defensively.

    Not huge prices though they're from PP, might check betfair see if theyre any better.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,353 ✭✭✭MR NINE


    Just placed my bets for the weekend:

    bolton
    liverpool
    everton
    fulham
    roughly 12/1


    bolton v villa draw
    liverpool
    everton
    fulham
    13/1


    4 draws yankee
    utd v spurs
    blackburn v wigan
    newcastle v portsmouth
    west ham v chelsea
    maximum payout is roughly 40/1

    Newcastle
    Tranmere
    Everton
    Bremen
    Napoli
    Lecce

    48/1

    I appreciate you're going for a bit of a long-shot accumulator here, but Napoli are on woeful form at the moment, they haven't won a match since the 11th of January and its not like they have an easy fixture or anything, Inter will be looking to wrap up the title.

    No bookmaker is putting up prices for newry or dungannon games, only betfair and the price has gone there.

    wolves, milwall & birmingham - 17/2 on PP

    In rugby there are a few good bets as well
    Bayonne +4 = must win against a team that have nothing to play for, solid handicap at 10/11
    Crusaders -7 = Have McCaw back and playing a poor Cheetahs team, pundits tipping a big score
    London Irish -6 = Need a win to secure a semi-final spot in the Premiership, playing worcester who have a few injuries and are 2nd from bottom.
    Toulouse -29 = Big handicap but playing bourgoin are resting their whole 15 for challenge cup next week. Faibien Pelous announcing hs retirement so big score should follow. If bourgoin keep it under 50 they will be doing well.
    Clermont +6, brive +4 & biarritz -14 also worth looking at.
