GET IN

Well at the moment Kerry are far from UNSTOPPABLE. Although Kerry should take advantage of the wind in the second half. Might be lucky if they manage to win by 3 points though.

anyway will be seeing the brother tomorrow and will have a look at the docket then,cant see anything but it being 7/2 straight bet....

in a more important issue,,this brings in the first of my treble bet,
i have/had,€178 returns over €500
uruguay to qualify
spain win
kerry -2

now that the uruguay game is out of the way my only real worry is the spain bet,you never know,,but still cant see anything but a win...

Close one, fair play to you lad, you done well. Enjoy:D
I took your Kerry tip (thanks!) in a small Treble with Nadal to win & LA to win later in the MLS League. Fingers crossed.

ok im going for a treble for my next bet,high % of my balance is on it but am having to look very hard for any fault..this will be my only bet for the next few days unless i see something that really appeals as a good bet..heres just a few points on the selection

kerry -2 points,there playing a very poor limerick side,cork came up against them in the final last year where they gave them a good hammering,i expect nothing less of that again.kerry i feel have limerick covered in all angles of the pitch and the score should reflect thatcovering the hanicap..

spain to win,after an impressing display against a very strong defensive portuguese side i can see them breaking down para with little trouble,they should finally put paraguays great campaign to an end and win the game in 90 mins.torres to score finally..

uruguay to qualify,with the form of the 2 strikers,they should be able to win the game in the 90 mins,but im playing it very safe,they held usa scoreless, i know usa are a poor attacking side but note of this has to be taken into consid.ghana have capable strickers who are strong on the ball and its possible they could sneek one past them,i think normal time
1-1.this is being very cautious though,uruguay should be winning this if everything goes right 3-0,ending the africans fight for the cup..

Match Betting
Valley Rovers
9/4
€40

Well,this is a first for me,im backing my own gaa club.
we won the double county last year,the football to go up senior,and the hurling to go up intermediate premier.
as of this year, as you would expect our backs are against the walls trying to juggle the two..the standard in the two levels is unbelieveable and trying to keep in touch is very draining..
in the football we lost our opening game but we qualified because of the backdoor system and are still in the championship..
in the hurling we too lost our opening game,which quiet frankly we should of won well but things just didnt fall into place,this game on sunday is the the equilavent to the football backdoor only its the hurling one.
we are going into the game as the underdogs and wrightfully so.
but what has to be taken into consideration of course is the opposition,
there our neighbours and because of the grade difference in recent years we have never played them competitively,both teams know eachother inside out...courseys are a hurling club only and take it serious,but have never won any competition in the last 10 or so years,us on the other hand are one of the most succussful clubs in cork,in fact last year we got "club of the year" award,
at the end of the day its going to boil down to the last 10 mins and the team that has the most balls and urgency/desire to win it will.valleys are a tried and tested club in this situation and i feel will be the ones to pull through.

the odds on this game are besare to say the least ,i got valleys at 9/4
in cashman bookmakers,,on pp we are odds of 11/8,i know for sertain that we were 9/4 on pp less than a week ago,so something has sparked the odds change,,it has diffenately not come from our side as im personally involved in the panel so its prob have to do with them..
wouldnt be betting on the game,but at the odds that i got the bet most sertainly represents value if nothing else......
not that confedent but am very optimistic.:)

WON

well needless to say we won by a point 1-12, 1-11...:D

im absolutely delighted for the bois,
we got our full back sent off after 10 mins for a striking offence,rightly so.
hes a cork player and our best dual player in the club by far,david lynch...
as i said before it will come down to the last 10 mins and as i said we will have the more urgency in our play and desire to win.yet again courseys bottle it again under pressure.sweet...:D

oh by the way my brother got man of the match,just thought id throw that in,needless to say he got a few pints off me.:rolleyes:

40 returns 130

They looked straightforward enough on paper but all 3 of them just barely jumped over the last hurdle. Great when you get that luck. Especially on all three of them in a treble. Uruguay should have went out if your man scored that late Peno. Spain could have easily finished 0-0 or 1-1 at FT and Kerry were very lucky to break a 17 minute scoreless streak 3 minutes from the end. Only that Limerick needed to go for goal to level it they would have scored an easy point right at the end from a free. I had the -1 handicap and 2 big bets on the overs for Kerry so i sweating near the end. Hopefully our luck continues.

agree with you there,,unfortunately we cant bet in hindsight..:D
i seen your bets alright,very impressive,i seen you do this week in week out,you obviously only post your win bets but do you have much losers with those over/under bets at those stakes.i suspect you dont and your obviously up a small fortune,keep it up and long may the "luck" continue.

I actually had my first losing over/under bet in a good while in the Kilkenny game. I posted that up in the GAA thread when someone asked. Because i go quite big on the bets i'm a little superstitious in posting them up before hand. So i'll always post the screenshot if i afterpost. Although i'll post my soccer bets up beforehand as i don't go as big on them. In recent times i've made quite a hefty profit. I reckon Mr. Paddy Power will be having a close look at my account soon enough if i keep it up.

i feel after germanys performance they cannot be dismissed for winning it out.they did very well to keep messi at bay (even though he did show why he is the best player in the world) in places and in fairness if they can do it against messi there is no reason why they cant against villa,ive gone for the "dnb" instead of the "to qualify" because i feel if it does go to penalties i think spain will win,

holland,well im only praying for a win , im prob being biased as i have them outwright from the beginning,but their attacking power is one of the best in the tour,both teams are missing players but i feel uruguay wont be able to replace them to the same quality as holland.both defences are good,so you have to look at the attacking power to break down those defences.and with suarez missing i dont think forlan will know how to break holland down without that partnership,i dont think it will be even close to a walk over by no means but i think holland will pull through and win by the narrowest of margines,2-1....was tempted to back the handicap draw,but decided against it just in case holland do run riot,odds 23/10....

best of luck...;)

Best of luck with that one, I expect it'll come through. Can't see past Holland at all, And the Germans will not be beaten in 90minutes at least, IMO. Good luck dude.

right well im happy with my cover bet even if it lost,
i was saying to myself when it was 1-1 with about 25 mins left and no team looked like scoring that it was a good bet and no matter what happens now it was the correct decision..

coughlan08 wrote: »

well if i did follow this bet then i would be very lucky so happy that i decided not to bet on it because holland in the last 25 mins when it matters did run riot and showed up a poor uruguay side..
i really cant give much stick to them doh as they won me a fortune in a previous bet,but as i said uruguay will find it very hard o break down the holland defence without the partnership of forlan/suarez..forget the scoreline as if holland had van der sar it would be a completly different story,,,anyway cmon germany;)

right well Ooijer didnt even play so that really shows the effort i put into that bet,i knew a defender would score though so just picked at random.

im just wondering is this bet void, or will they just leave it "play on" for the germany game,,the bet still says pending so am just curious...

Vurnon San Benito

I've a good feeling about Schweignsteiger.

coughlan08

right ive spent the last while studing this semi final, have come to the conclusion that im going to back germany to win in the 90 mins,
now i know im kinda putting all my eggs in the one basket but i cannot ignore the price on offer.there is a few things im taking into account

After Germanys last two performances and Spains lacklustre display against Paraguay,i feel the german youngsters are in my opinion underated.(hence the odds,spain being favourites) spain may have won the Euro in 2008 but with two years more experience that the young germans now have and the fact that they are the best tournament side going. They know how to win these competitions.
Germany have been in full floe the last couple of games, whilst Spain have sat on the ball and pretty much limped over the line. Germany surely will be too quick, too powerful, and too inventive for the Spaniards to counter.
I think Spains style(villa) will suit Germany and they will be able to soak up the pressure before countering them as they did in the last 2 games.
(you saw how efficient the germans were against argentina).
Spain have lacked a final cutting edge for me, they are relying on villa to score in every game,which so far is getting them(me) out of trouble;)
germany were well able to deal with a better player than villa (messi)and there is no reason why they cant do the same again.(even though villa is having a better tour)

now maybe im being biased because i have already backed germany dnb, but if you want i bet their is not the same number of reasons to back spain....

now i will stand to be corrected and if you want you can slait me if spain go on to win but im going with my head and partically my heart(pocket)..

also i would like to put 150-200 on villa not to score,i know i can do this in betfair,but can someone please tell me how.
thanks in advance,....

just lay villa to score on betfair, go into the 'to score' market and lay him.

coughlan08

ok well im after doing a bit more research in some other sites and have decided not to lay villa,
instead i have come across this very attracting bet,
heres a quote/statistic...

"Corners Match Bet
Germany are the tournament's highest scorers but their corners count is remarkably low: they've never managed more than seven corners in a game, averaged 5.2 corners a match and lost three of five corners match bets to date.
Spain have twice managed 12 corners in two games, averaged 8.2 corners a game and won four of five corners match bets, drawing the other one. The stats are overwhelmingly in Spain's favour, so I'm shocked Vincente del Bosque's side are as big as 10/11 to obtain more corners than Germany. Get on while you can."

not the best value but it should be safeish...:o

colly54

This is because Spain have being chasing games like the Switzerland match, Paraguay game...Germany have taking a good few first half leads England Argentina Australia ...all early goals..

I say if Germany are leading after first 20 minutes you will win this bet but if they aren't then it could go either way...

Whoever is losing at half time i would fancy for this bet

now i have a problem where i could use some of your advice,,
i have holland at 16-1 to win outwright.i stand to get a return of €850,
now at present the price for spain to win is 11/10,holland 11/4..to lift the cup its 8/15 and 6/4 respectively.
i think if things went good tonight i would of left it but now im not to sure...
do i now lay off for a profit or ride it out,
