............and yes, Skittle had another night off. Doesn't do any harm now and then when there's nothing interesting happening.

You were right to take the night off mate, I wish I had done the same the other night...

I had picked out Finn Harps as one of my Monty Bets, but the price is crap, so my next Monty bet is going to be Limerick this week.
Hopefully their home form will pick up again as it has been at bit up and down at the moment, but I would expect them to win this one.

Limerick v's Monaghan Home Win @ 8/11 (1.72) W-Hill

[Merlin]

OK..mate...nearly went for Limerick myself....but will be on it now anyway, as its a Monty Monster.......

Yeah..the price is low on Finn…but on the face of , it should be a 36% easy turnover profit….

[Merlin]

MAX wins 6-0…….

1 point acca down…but profit on the day….I do fancy Santa Cruz tonight…BUT…NO BET….as I want to preserve the days profit….

I cant see any point in having a max bet in the afternoon – collecting and then throwing it away on something I am not 100% sure of…..

[MattR]

Monty you don't happen to know what the draw price on betfair was (or bookie will do) for Derry v St Pats and Longford v Sligo tonight do you? I was going to do them on betfair but the site crashed before I got around to it but I want to keep a note of the price for my records.

[Merlin]

Derry City 11 - 10
Draw 11 - 5
St Patrick's Athletic 21 - 10


Longford Town 11 - 8
Draw 21 - 10
Sligo Rovers 17 - 10



The above odds were from Paddy Power

[MattR]

Thanks Merlin :)

A LITTLE TIP FOR GETTING THE ODDS AFTER THE MATCH....

Search for the game using Google….

For instance:

Derry v Sligo

On the results page look for the game….click on cache – bingo…

However, you wont get this for all games and all searches , because it does depend on a number of other things…which are not wort goimg into…but it will work most of the time….

Oi, I was looking at that Leeds game earlier.............and now you've robbed it.

[monty]

Well Guys, as you know? my head is seemingly up my ass at the moment, and believe me, it's kind of dark in there.. So I'm unable to see what your bets are today, but good luck with them anyway......:D

[MaxySerb]

Hi guys! I'm back!

I had to learn as hell past several days... And now it's over... :wink

This is your pick for today:

Serbia - Finland
Home win at 1.50

Price is not some, but...Nikola Zigic (Valencia) is back for this game so I think it won't be so hard for us to score this time...
Nemanja Vidic is suspended, but he played like ballerina against Belgium so it's not a big blow. I think he is not giving enough to representation since he become so well known in MU.

Serbia simply have to win this one, now EC2008 is in stake. It's very simply, if we win tonight we only have to have a draw with Portugal for getting trough the group. If we don't win today - we are out.

[Merlin]

Ooh.....Agree , think and hope Serbia will win too.....good luck, Maxy.....may have a dabble...

USA MLS

Kick-off 1.30am (Saturday/Sunday)

Houston Dynamo v Real Salt Lake

Houston are really struggling at present…have about 4 key players out, and despite being home are very vulnerable …

REAL SALT LAKE are no great shakes, but have won their last 2…and the Asian Handicap of +1 @ 2.10 looks a very reasonable bet with Victor Chandler and Bet365

REAL SALT LAKE +1 @ 2.10

6 POINTS

RESULT
Houston Dynamo 4-3 Real Salt Lake

Good job Merlin, especially for Leeds!

Wow, I must say that we (Serbia) are bad as hell. We had such a good start in this qualifications...But now...one lose game and one draw in a row...my God...at least Portugal didn't win either...

But we are so bad...we simply can't score a goal...Because Portugal played draw, we still have a small chance...only thing we have to do is to win in Lisbon against them on Wednesday. Piece of cake...

They (Portugal) will kick our sorry butts so hard on Wed that we will wish we were never got into this qualifications...
With that H. Clemente () on bench we are never going to win, he is a coward...We all was terribly disappointed when we saw 4-5-1 formation against team like Finland on our home ground when we are in desperate need of a victory. And he is not even calling our second best striker Mateja Kezman (Fenerbahche) in squad...

[Skittle]

Another day off.

[Merlin]

Your becoming very part-time....S

Almost half-time and Nautico are winning 2-1...went 1-0 down inside a minute...

Didnt go to the game...but listening to commemtary - anyway...when theres a goal I know immediately from the crowd..which I can hear very clearly from my pad...

Its on the telly...but the deal is the teams on telly...are not shown in the state of the home team...

Hope they can hold on will make the day profitable....

[Skittle]

Just don't believe in forcing myself to do a bet for the sake of it. I only like to win money, it's much more enjoyable that way.
