Beating the Bookies

[Begbie]

Thought I would set up this thread with only 12 days to go until Cheltenham. Any fancies for the weekend NFL games?

Saturday March 6th
19:30 4/9 Cork 15/2 Galway 9/4
19:30 9/4 Laois 15/2 Armagh 4/9
19:30 1/6 Down 10/1 Tipperary 5/1
19:30 1/5 Meath 9/1 Westmeath 9/2
19:30 8/13 Antrim 15/2 Fermanagh 6/4

Sunday March 7th
13:00 10/11 Wexford 15/2 Sligo 11/10
13:00 13/2 Kilkenny 16/1 London 1/14
14:30 8/13 Mayo 15/2 Dublin 13/8
14:30 1/2 Kerry 15/2 Derry 2/1
14:30 5/4 Monaghan 15/2 Tyrone 4/5
14:30 4/5 Kildare 15/2 Donegal 5/4
14:30 4/7 Offaly 15/2 Roscommon 7/4
14:30 5/6 Louth 15/2 Cavan 6/5
14:30 6/4 Waterford 15/2 Longford 8/13
14:30 4/11 Wicklow 8/1 Carlow 5/2
14:30 4/11 Clare 9/1 Leitrim 5/2


Are there any prices that stand out for anyone?

[AFS]

Derry and Carlow would be worth looking at. I'd fancy Carlow with a full team, but they'll be missing their U21s so that might swing it for Wicklow.

Laois at that price might be worth a sniff, bit of a bogey team and a reaction will be expected. Sligo look the value bet to me while Dublin might by worth a cuple of pence.

Good value on a few teams there actually.

[Begbie]

Derry and Carlow would be worth looking at. I'd fancy Carlow with a full team, but they'll be missing their U21s so that might swing it for Wicklow.

I like Mayo, Kildare and Louth. Might stick Monaghan into it and do a yankee. Must look at the handicap betting.

What makes you fancy Derry AFS? Just a feeling or do you have a strong fancy for them? Surely with home advantage it would be difficult to oppose Kerry?

[AFS]

Kerry haven't started very well and Derry are capable of beating anyone in the league when the mood takes them. Just thought 2/1 is quite high considering this.

Would give Louth a miss maybe, their U21s are in action on Saturday too.

Waterford could be worth looking at too. They've started with two wins and a draw, while Longford have lost both their games to date (even if they were fucked over in one of them).

[Bainisteoir]

I like the look of Derry too, they have seen Dublin go there and win and surely fancy their chances. Would be a good marker to put down for the season ahead. I'd imagine Laois supporters like the look of that price against Armagh but I fancy us to come away with 2 points.

Armagh, Derry and Mayo treble looks tempting.

[Begbie]

I like McCoy's chances on Can't Buy Time today at Newbury. Poor racing for a saturday but with only 10 days until Cheltenham that has to be expected I suppose.

might be a bit late to run to the bookies for the 12:30 ko , but the portsmouth v birmingham game, ht/ft bet .

draw ht , win birmingham ft .

6/1 yer cash at paddy power .

[Begbie]

I stuck a tenner on 4 teams.

Ross County8/11
Leeds 4/9
West Ham 5/6
Aldershot 10/11

Had a few others in mind. I actually fancy Pompey@13/8, Swindon 8/11, Rochdale 4/9 and Chesterfield 11/8.

No doubt those four have a better chance of coming up than the teams I opted for.

It actually doesn't look very appealing today for a football bet, I'd have more interest in having a few quid on the NFL this evening and tomorrow. Hopefully come ten to five I'll have money lying to do so. Here's to hoping.
