Irish league starts this weekend

winbet · Mar 5, 2009

I normally give any league a few Weeks to settle down but I'm in a good position to get useful info on Sligo games. This week they take on Cork who are having Financial problems but it didnt appear to effect their players last year, on the other hand Sligo basically are missing 3 of their back 4, so I'm told.

Pricing up this game on last years form comes out at
Sligo +174
cork +215
Draw +213

As usual its tough to beat the Books as the favorite is already reversed on the exchanges probably negating the value on Cork when you consider taking on their off pitch woes. However, when you consider Sligo averaged 1.76 Goals at home and Cork 1.43 on the Road, regardless of the 0.84 Goals against both Teams, the OVER 2 Goals looks good value. When you add in the injuries in Defence and the start of the Season game, there are worse bets to have over the Weekend.

Sligo/Cork OVER 2 goals €200 @ -109 (Pinny) :drink:

how do you like Drogheda and St.Patrick today?

Sorry Chris but I cant help, all I'm doing is pricing up the Games, listening to a few people who know the Teams well and then compare their views to how the Books have changed the prices, then basically hoping for some value. :103631605

hey chris. I can tell you from a friend who knows this league very well that Drogheda are awful and surely one of the worst 3 teams in the league. he does not have an opinion on their game this week but does like st pat's a bit. just a small bet as they have 3 suspended

thx for reply..i made a mistake...i actually ment Bohemians and not Drogheda.
Bohemians was dominant in league last year and is only -0.5 against a team coming up from 2 division (even in an away game it looks too good)
