Cork 6/5 to beat Clare in Hurling my Best value bet of the weekend followed by Tyrone 11/10 +2. Breffni1969 (Cavan) - Posts: 510 - 19/05/2023 07:25:45 2479556 Link
Replying To Breffni1969: "Cork 6/5 to beat Clare in Hurling my Best value bet of the weekend followed by Tyrone 11/10 +2." I fancy Cork too. Banker has to be the Kingdom at 2/5 to beat Mayo. A 40% return over a short term investment :-) BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3503 - 19/05/2023 09:44:39 2479572 Link
I'm the opposite to ye guys, i have 2 or 3 Hurling match bets a year and one of them will be on Clare Sunday at evens or even 10/11. Clare very rarely lose matchs of consequence in Ennis, yes they lost to Tipp but a number of things went wrong on the day and id rate Tipp a better team than Cork and would have more steel when it comes to taking on Clares aggressive hurling. Clare & Limericks match had a serious intensity that Cork v Tipp was a long way off. Corks feeble attempt even if they werent trying againt KK in league semi final was cat. Clare have done the hard work by beating Limerick after messing up againt Tipp and arent going to let a soft enough Cork team come to Ennis and beat them is my read . Clare to win for me .

I've gone for the draw in the prediction competition but tend to agree with everything you say. Everything points to Cork still having a very soft centre and the likely cauldron that will be Ennis will be hard for anyone to come out of given its do or die for Clare. So ofte n people point to a new Cork but I'm still not seeing enough evidence of it. The Tipp Cork game got plenty of plaudits and seems most Tipp people were happy with the draw but if there was ever a game we left behind us it was that one and I thought a number of Tipp players played really poorly which is exactly why there are four changes for Sunday and had we had less injuries I'd imagine thered have been more changes in defence So after that rant ya i agree those odds are good! tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 19/05/2023 10:33:43 2479589 Link
Bookies not giving anything away but I've gone for a couple of somewhat dodgy football bets. Donegal to beat Clare 11/10 and Carlow +3 at 11/10 to beat Limerick PoolSturgeon (Galway) - Posts: 2015 - 19/05/2023 11:41:52 2479608 Link

I thought that Cork showed a fair bit of steel to come back and get a draw against yourselves. Their two key games are undoubtedly the Clare and Limerick ones, so we will know more about them but I think they are better than last year. I marginally fancy then to win in Ennis but not going to back them though. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3503 - 19/05/2023 11:45:34 2479609 Link

We don't have a good record down there but conceding crazy soft goals cost us. Sunday will tell a lot where Cork are and may well prove me wrong tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 19/05/2023 13:39:39 2479647 Link
Replying To PoolSturgeon: "Bookies not giving anything away but I've gone for a couple of somewhat dodgy football bets. Donegal to beat Clare 11/10 and Carlow +3 at 11/10 to beat Limerick" I hadn't seen the Donegal one. Unless they are completely demoralised you'd have to fancy them surely? I saw Clare on night they should have beaten Dublin but the championship is a different kettle of fish and Donegal still have the experience and players to win this. Unless they've all decamped to Boston! BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3503 - 19/05/2023 13:43:15 2479650 Link
Chantell Cameron to beat Taylor. Saynothing (Tyrone) - Posts: 2289 - 20/05/2023 00:16:03 2479726 Link
Replying To Saynothing: "Chantell Cameron to beat Taylor." I wish Katie Taylor well but at 36 I think that she should retire on a high. Not sure what the point of her bringing out all her lightweight belts, as neither fighter has made the lightweight weight and none of her belts are on the line tonight. If she does win some additional super-lightweight belts tonight she should call it a day after a fantastic career. Nobody would like to see her losing her pristine record or getting badly hurt, which can happen when you go up in weights sometimes. Hopefully not tonight. letsgetgoing (Roscommon) - Posts: 726 - 20/05/2023 13:37:44 2479766 Link
Clare got the job done yesterday , a lot tighter than i expected but i get paid which is the main thing. 2 teams interest me next week, Westmeath to beat Antrim evens with patricias & offaly 4/9 v Carlow . Louth in football tempted me too but i'll stick with the 2 in hurling OpenStand (Limerick) - Posts: 740 - 22/05/2023 16:06:42 2480596 Link
Club Rossies GAA draw might be worth a flutter. On 5th June 2023 one lucky winner will be 200,000 euro richer. It could by YOU! Check it out on win200grand.com One ticket 50 euro. 3 tickets 100 euro. Maybe a few GAA fans sharing a house might buy a ticket or two together? letsgetgoing (Roscommon) - Posts: 726 - 23/05/2023 08:53:37 2480739 Link
Fancy Galway to cover the 6 point handicap against Dublin. A win for Antrim at Evs and I'm very tempted to back Wexford or at least with +3. Cork are also tempting at +4 against Limerick but I might stick with a small double on the firstt wo I've mentioned. tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 23/05/2023 09:06:56 2480744 Link
My banker is Antrim to beat Westmeath at 1/1, Lockerroomboy (Wexford) - Posts: 480 - 23/05/2023 10:41:58 2480800 Link

Replying To Lockerroomboy: "My banker is Antrim to beat Westmeath at 1/1," Surely Westmeath after last weekends big win will be in a great place to finish the group with a win at home in Mullingar, bound to be a reasonable home crowd as well to see them play after wexford win?? The one thing i will say though is Antrim are a resolute bunch keeping the hurling flag flying . OpenStand (Limerick) - Posts: 740 - 23/05/2023 12:37:21 2480863 Link
Having seen both, i would say Antrim are the better side But Westmeath are bound to be on a high after last week and it should be cracker of a game, Hard to call. Wouldn't be having a punt. Might have a small bet on Dublin to beat Galway, or on the spread. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3503 - 23/05/2023 13:19:44 2480883 Link
Replying To cavan.galway: "any picks this weekend" Even allowing for my bias, I think that Kilkenny at 10/11 (-3 points) to beat Wexford is good value. Although the Wexford team and coaching staff should be well up for it after the disastrous result last weekend, plus, there should be good support in Wexford Park. I think Kilkenny will be too good for them. Cockney_Cat (UK) - Posts: 2753 - 23/05/2023 13:46:27 2480900 Link
Replying To cavan.galway: "any picks this weekend" Well I have Sheffield Wednesday to get promoted at 30/1. Did it before the 2nd leg play off v Peterborough when the Owls were 0-4 down. katser (Galway) - Posts: 2556 - 23/05/2023 16:00:42 2480987 Link
