    Blackburn won't win it. We don't have the defence nor the midfield for it. Hopefully play offs

    How about Rhodes for top goalscorer? Torn between him and McCormack,

    Nice to see villa tipped for relegation ;)

    They're even decent odds to finish bottom half @ 1/4


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,191 ✭✭✭✭Shanotheslayer


    What caught my eye there was. Spurs +20 I 16/1. Spurs are favorite to finish ahead of Everton. But I can see Everton have another solid season. Could probably get Everton +20 at higher odds or even Everton +25?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,377 ✭✭✭Warper


    Ozil most assists caught my eye @ 16-1.

    Here is last seasons top assistors - excuse the crap paste job

    Steven Gerrard [England] England [Liverpool FC] Liverpool FC 14
    2. Luis Suárez [Uruguay] Uruguay [Liverpool FC] Liverpool FC 13
    3. David Silva [Spain] Spain [Manchester City] Manchester City 10
    Rickie Lambert [England] England [Southampton FC] Southampton FC 10
    Wayne Rooney [England] England [Manchester United] Manchester United 10

    Stoke ( Top midlands club ) 5/4

    Preston ( Top 6 ) 8/11

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,480 ✭✭✭Chancer3001


    Ok so 3 bets I want to do as an accumulator

    Stoke to be top midlands club
    Rooney to be in top 4 scorers
    United to finish top 4

    Now, I can only do them individually on skybet? Same on paddypower?

    Sorry if I'm a noob, but why can't i do them as accumulator? I assume I could in store. Just write it on the docket...

    I imagine it's because of the Rooney top 4 scorers and United top 4 finish? They interact with each other.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,565 ✭✭✭✭yabadabado


    Rooney and United bet most likely can only be done as league/top GS bet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,480 ✭✭✭Chancer3001


    Ok, I changed it from Rooney to Aguero.

    Still won't let me do it.

    Any other ideas??

    Contact live help - some bets are only available as singles though. Unclick one and see which pick is causing the problem


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,480 ✭✭✭Chancer3001


    Can't do any 2 of them as a double. Hmmm.

    Might lob them an email

    I think any two bets from the same league will count as related.

    Ok done the bets today hoping for a nice run for my money over the season! London top club - Chelsea 1/2, derby top 6 4/5, Preston top 6 8/11, Portsmouth top 7 4/7, Roma top 3 finish 2/5, Real Madrid la liga winners 10/11, bayern munich bundesliga winners 1/7. 100 returns 2225.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,861 ✭✭✭fuzzydunlop85


    Also done a more speculative one Roma without juventus 11/8, derby promoted 13/5, Portsmouth promoted 7/4. Stoke top midlands 5/4, Preston promoted 12/5 , Real Madrid la liga 11/10. 6x5e five folds and 10er accum. Pays about 8k nearly ! Good luck everyone having a bet for the season.

    Your stats are maybe from the wrong source. The bets are settled according to the press association assists, which is where the bets for FPL fantasy football come from.

    I just googled it and got those - ah well.

    Why is everyone backing Real to win La Liga? Barcelona have made some great signings as well like Suarez and Rakitic and have finally bought some average defenders. It is too close to call for me to be putting in season long accums

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,480 ✭✭✭Chancer3001


    Yeah Suarez will clean up in that league.


  • Registered Users Posts: 128 ✭✭Half Rhodesian


    last one for me this season so, played it as safe as possible with this (if there is such a thing)

    Aberdeen w/o celtic
    Preston top 6
    Bury top 7
    Derby top 6
    PSG O/R
    Man utd top 4
    Rangers O/R
    Basel O/R

    Pays E7790

    Should be a good one that... better be because it was a big one :O

    It'll be very close alright i imagine. Half expecting Ronaldo to pick up an injury this season. It could be the time in his career now he begins to get affected by them all the more. Wouldn't be totally sold on J rodriguez either. was he worth 80 mil? idk tbh

    ive taken Barca in one of mine anyway.. suarez will be an animal for them


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,351 ✭✭✭magherakid


    Exeter league 2 to be relegated 11/2

    Aberdeen handicap +27 9/1


  • Registered Users Posts: 461 ✭✭kerosene


    Aberdeen +27 is a savage bet at 9/1, Celtic will win alright but I think thats a good gamble
    what bookie is offering that?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,553 ✭✭✭✭Copper_pipe


    Aberdeen +25 is 9/1 on bet 365 and 15/2 on paddys

    Big question marks over Messi these days. Defence still not fixed, despite 30m spent. Suarez banned, Neymar injured. Where are the goals coming from? Who's stepping into Xavi's shoes? I think Real are rightly favourites.

    It's not just Celtic they're against though. Any team could win on handicaps. Only takes one surprise package and bet's gone.

    Wait, what? Even if Aberdeen finish 3rd or 4th, as long as they're within 26 points of title winner it doesn't matter jack about what other teams do?

    No every other team in the league has a handicap aswell so they have to beat those also.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,480 ✭✭✭Chancer3001


    Yup , doubled checked.

    I did not know that....


    Anyways, I went for Blackburn to finish top half, and villa to finish bottom half. Got it at just over evens.

    not a bother. wasn't a bad start today with the exception of Bury's blip. they are great to do alright, don't really bother betting on much else then the rest of the year as there is this to watch every weekend.

    with the exception of the masters and one off stuff like that

    all the best with your bet :)

    Anyone like the look of mata most assists at 18/1 now that he should be played through the middle?

    Ozil and Fabergas are the main competition both at 14/1 and Sliva at 18 also.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,435 ✭✭✭Austria!


    I expect Fabregas will play behind Oscar, so won't be getting too many goals/assists. I think Ozil is the man for me.

    Like this aswell, also think Rooney 100/30 top four goalscorers is a cracking price, will play up top a lot this season I think and rvp is very injury prone.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,353 ✭✭✭MR NINE


    The paddy power goalscorer offer is not to be ignored imo. Place a 20 euro bet (10 ew is also valid) on a player for top goalscorer and receive a free 2 euro bet every time they score. So if your player scores 10 goals in a season youre free rolling*. Rooney at 12/1 has to be backed imo. I think he has a great chance at top scorer this season and would be amazed if he failed to reach double figures.

    *I realise a 2 euro free bet does not directly equal 2 euro as your stake isn't included in your returns, but it is essentially just a two euro bet at a slightly shorter price. I intend on using the free bets on minimum 10/1 shots so a slightly shorter price isn't so bad

    Great offer - you have to stake €10 per month as well but that shouldnt be a problem for anyone. Im probably gonna use it for scorecasts in live games or something similar


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,191 ✭✭✭✭Shanotheslayer


    I think the 2e bet also has to be placed within 31 days so can't let them build up IIRC.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,183 ✭✭✭UnknownSpecies


    I think the 2e bet also has to be placed within 31 days so can't let them build up IIRC.

    And there's something to do with having to have bet €10 in the previous 31 days. PP isn't my main account so no thanks.
