The utterly daft fixation with individual player statistics, when the single biggest impact on a player's performance is always his direct opponent... who changes every week.

My GAA gambling technique.

I used to bet on club games.

My first strategy was to visit both clubs in the run up to a game and ask them straight out 'how much do you want it?'. I figured that as it is a GAA golden rule that the team who wanted it more wins, I could use that as a signpost. I went for draws a lot as a result.

Bad idea!

Everyone told me they want it more than anything. You only find out afterwards some of them were lying and obviously didn't really want it at all, the bastards.

Then I decided to try live betting. I would either watch a game on the TV or listen to the radio and wait to hear/see that a team was getting on top. Then I would lump everything on a goal for the other team. Again this was based on extensive research of live commentary, post-match reports in the media and sites such as this. The amount of times a goal is scored 'against the run of play' is incredible. So I reckoned over a year of such bets I should clean up. Another bad idea.

Turns out the f**kers know less about the run of play than they do about how much they really want it.

Finally, I decided to bet the house on teams who were 'written off during the week'. Especially Davy Fitz teams. Well f**k that.

The lads who suddenly turn up to support the club at the semi final stage of a championship after not having been near a game in ten years and they are roaring at management to get a player switched etc etc.

Have to agree with Ger Canning and weemin singing the anthem.

Unless of course his father was useless. Then it is fair game.

Boys saying "f**k" in every sentence all the time in front of kids. And worse, not knowing or caring. Very sad.
