GAA Betting - All Info Appreciated.

[SidelineKick]

From what I've seen you can bet on individual championship games online, and so I'd be pretty sure you could also bet in the shop in cavan on the derry ch'ship.

I was looking to bet on outright county champions, but from what I can see only individual games are available. Anyone know where I can get odds on the outright winners?

Paddypower too, Under GAA then Football, not matches.

They've taken down the Derry odds since the draw was made last night.

Compiling a winning hand with clubs
August 13th, 2009 by kegan

Ask not what Off the Ground can do for you, but instead ask what you can do for Off the Ground!

Despite what it may sound like, that isn't actually this column's attempt at getting you, the reader, to do all the work. Instead, that is an ideal way forward to get plenty of winners over the Autumn as the bookmakers start to price club games and championships all over Ireland. Every reader of this column has a home county, and chances are there are one or two other counties as well where they have different reasons for being familiar with the local scene. With that in mind, don't be shy about using the add comment facility on any of these blog posts. If you haven't posted before, then it may take a while for your post to appear as it has to be moderated (you'd be surprised how many people out there think that this is a good site to try and advertise tamiflu or viagra online!) but once your first post is put up, from then on your comments will appear instantly. Unless you try to sell us tamiflu or viagra of course.


The feature games for the weekend are the four quarter finals in the Galway senior football championship, and of the four, the eye catching fixture is the meeting of Killererin and Corofin on Sunday evening. Both these sides suffered defeat in the first round but have rebounded through the backdoor system to reach a quarter final. This game will very much be about Padraig Joyce and the Killererin forwards attempting to break down one of the best defensive units that you'll find in club football in Ireland.

Michael Breathnachs took the Galway and Connacht champions for 1-13 in the opening round, however that was without stalwarts Michael Comer and Kieran Fitzgerald and with those men back in harness, they only conceded seven scores in 80 minutes of football against an Cheathru Rua. The lack of any heavy scoring power at the other end of the field is a concern, but Alan O'Donovan has been playing well enough to chip over a few scores from play and in a game where a tally of around 1-9 or 1-10 is likely to prove enough, this column much prefers the chances of the Corofin men reaching that number. A 2pt bet on Corofin to beat Killererin at 8/11 is advised.

Moving now to Kildare and while there are eight games down for decision, there are plenty of hot favourites in those games, many of which, to be honest look quite strong, even at long odds on. County champions Celbridge are probably a touch of value at 1/4 while equally it would be asking a lot of John Doyle to expect him to carry Allenwood past 4/11 favourites St. Laurences. The two Newbridge clubs are also rock solid and will almost certainly win, thought at odds of 1/7 and 1/8, they're fodder for accums only.

Any one of those teams could justifiably be used to flesh out a multiple bet, but this column is just going to recommend a 3pt single bet on Naas to beat Suncroft at odds of 4/6.

Both these sides played lower division football in 2009, but there's a lot more to like about Naas' campaign in division two where they won fifteen straight games before a dire first half accounted for their chances in the league final against Athy. Suncroft topped the division three table, but they did drop several points even though they were up against mainly second string teams and junior clubs. On paper there isn't a lot between these teams but Naas have had infinitely the better preparation while Suncroft are still dependent on hardy servants like Killian Brennan. Neil Farragher is always dangerous at full forward and if he kicks his frees and combines with Conor Mellett to register a few scores from play, Naas should be the better team in Friday night's tie.

And now, let's be having ye! Recommendations, suggestions, arguments and info all welcome in the comment box below, and let's see if we can't combine aggregate local knowledge into a profitable Autumn!

Thats brilliant.  Theres money to be made if we get our heads together.

Sorry about Coleraine. An extra time win doesnt pay out.   

I'll make it up to youse.

Perhaps there may have been a slight correlation between the two ....

At 8/1 Ballin are a reasonable bet for Mayo SFC. If they beat Knockmore (in Knockmore) on Saturday evening, they're into the Q/Fs. Knockmore are without Kilcoyne so they could be under pressure. No quotes for indovidual games in Mayo from what I can see.

Armagh senior championship this weekend:

11/8 Ballymacnab - 7/1 Draw - Harps 8/11

5/4 Killeavy - 7/1 Draw - St Pat's 4/5

4/9 Dromintee - 7/1 Draw - Granemore 9/4

1/33 Crossmaglen - 16/1 Draw - Tir Na nOg 20/1

10/11 Maghery - 7/1 Draw - Whitecross 11/10

4/5 Clan Na Gael - 7/1 Draw - Mullaghbawn 5/4

15/8 Carrickcruppen - 7/1 Draw - Pearse Ogs 8/15

In my opinion whitecross represent the value. nothing between themselves and maghery in the league but maghery will be minus some key players through injury and suspension

Its info we are looking here owen, not odds

[Owenmoresider]

Sorry, anyway I'd be looking at a Calry/Curry double this weekend, it is quite possible. Can't see Mary's or John's being beat. Mind you I thought Harps and Ballymote were sure things last weekend.
