Thanks, LS.

why on earth would you not wait until Saturday evening when all the info will be clear?

The only reason I'd do it (did it this week on Meath at 11/4 with PP) is if I think an early price is very good value and I want to get on in case it attracts a lot of money and disappears fast. (I see PP is down to 9/4 this morning).

I dont believe PP were ever 11/4 Meath. But the early bird can catch the worm there is no doubt.

You're right bombidal - confusion on my part. I have a good few live bets and I forgot that I had my money on Meath with Boyles, not PP. As long as I don't forgot who to collect from, I'll be OK.

I havnt got time to do it now, but has anyone any idea about the amount of draws in last years football championship?
If you got 13/2 or 7/1 for each draw wonder how you would have finished the year. I know there have already been a few draws this year & there seems to be less & less between teams every year

Hardy · May 31, 2007, 04:06:04 PM

I checked that out a while ago full back, because we all feel there's a disproportionate number of draws because of referees taking it upon themselves to alter the laws of time to make sure neither side is disappointed in a close match.

But no – the draw odds on offer are generally very measly compared with the statistics on actual draws. I don't remember exactly the number of draws, but it was about six altogether in last year's football championship and you'd be losing heavily if, for instance, you backed a draw in every game that had the possibility of a draw (i.e. leaving out obvious mismatches). There's no flies on them bookies.

Spiritof98 · May 31, 2007, 04:09:53 PM

£20 on 1 draw at 7/4
£10 on 2 draws at 10/1

Are Tipp that bad +8 10/11, I might take a stab at that.

Fairly reasonable to assume Bradley won't start - i know that means bet's void, no advanatge to punter or bookie, but you might want to reframe that one.

ONeill · May 31, 2007, 08:15:10 PM

Tried Betfair there for the first time. Is there a catch with it? How come nearly all odds are better - eg - Antrim at 6

Because they charge you to deposit, they charge you to withdraw, and there is a 5% commission, unless you're a wojious high roller. That 5/1 is 4.75/1 when commission is finished, less than Paddy Power, Bet365 or William Hill. Plus you can only have a tenner right now.

Basically liquidity is appalling and unlike bookies the price you see is not what you get. I've yet to see a GAA match where I would be better off depositing €200, betting, collecting the winnings and withdrawing than I would be if I had got best price in the bookies.

Now for the likes of Golf or big soccer matches it can be another kettle of fish though - but for GAA I wouldn't recommend it at all.

bombidal · May 31, 2007, 08:59:34 PM

here is one I reckon some charity money should go on. Down at 6/4 to beat monaghan with Stan James or even 11/8 with Boyles. Cannot see this lasting as Down should be favourites with the home advantage.

ExiledGael · May 31, 2007, 09:00:13 PM

Bradley aint starting!

bombidal · May 31, 2007, 09:14:38 PM

While im at it -

I've yet to see a bookie who will let me lay any side - plus there's no lodgement or withdrawal charge for laser/debit cards. Agreed that liquidity isn't great most of the time, but for bigger games it works out grand.

the 15 quid you can have on the draw in the dublin meath game & the 121 quid on dublin at 1.45.... 1.5 with ladbrokes and no commision... really speaks volumes about gaa on betfair. ( im presuming the dublin meath game is a big one ).
