Juventus playing in Tallaght? Easy Money!

I'm a bit light on proper bankers this week but I'll go with some betting against Rovers ability to reach half-time at 0-0 because there is absolutley no chance that they will score a goal..... is there? Pretty decent price considering the 2 teams playing. If you're really adventurous you could put in Cork and Kerry and make it a treble at just over 6/4 with Bet 365, William Hill or Paddy Power. (Win)

Odds: 5/6 (Bet 365 and Paddy Power)

Stake: 12 points

Returns: 10 points

The draw for 2 of the 4 All-Ireland Football Quarter Finals could not be more one sided with Kerry and Cork set to demolish an injury-stricken Derry and over-achievers Roscommon (Don't know how they got this far???). I'm also going to throw in Tyrone to be beat Dublin as it's getting to that time of year where Dublin fall apart. Not just that but Tyrone are coming off a nice break from winning the Ulster Championship while Dublin have gained some false confidence from beating a couple of rubbish teams in the qualifiers. I'm fairly sure they'll get a rude awakening from Tyrone this weekend! (Fail)

Odds: 11/10 (Ladbrokes)

Stake: 10 points

Returns: 11 points

Premier League giants Liverpool will take on unheard of team Rabotnicki on Thursday evening. Liverpool are taking an inexperienced team with them which has been largely unimpressive in their pre-season games so far not winning a game yet and losing their last game. So I might stick a few bob on the double chance bet of Rabotnicki to win or a draw. They probably won't win but I wouldn't be surprised to see a draw. If you do fancy backing them to win you can get 9/1 on them at Boylesports. (Fail)

Odds: 11/4 (Blue Sq or 888Sport) 12/5 (Paddy Power)

Stake: 2 points

Returns: 5.5 points (4.8 points Paddy Power)

Kilkenny still good value to win

nyIf you get on this quickly you can still take Kilkenny at 1/2 (Bet365) to win the Senior Hurling Championship this year. This is excellent value in my opinion considering every other team seems to haven gotten worse since last year! I'd stake my left arm on this one.

Odds: 1/2 (Bet365)
Stake: 100 points (or left arm)
Returns: 50 points

Still waiting for the NFL and the football (soccer) to start up their respective seasons again but I'll take Cork to beat the hell out of Limerick this weekend in the final round of the All-Ireland Football Qualifiers although I'm not too sure on the 4 point spread the bookmakers are offering. Might see what -2 points is, hopefully at least 1/2. You could double this up with Tipperary to beat Galway in the All-Ireland Hurling Quarter Finals at 8/13 if you want. Not as much of a certainty as Cork but the best hurling team apart from Kilkenny is probably Tipperary. (Fail)

Odds: around 6/4 (if you can get 1/2 on Cork-2)
Stake: 5 points
Returns: 7.5 points

Without doubt the best bet of the week has to Louth to take out Dublin at 7/2!!! Louth barely beaten (and undeservedly so) by a team that kicked the crap out of the Dubs a couple of weeks earlier. Might be time to say bye bye to Dublin for another year. All depends on whether or not Dublin turn up or not, it'll be a close game which makes 7/2 far too big to turn down. Will have to have a go on this one. (Fail)

Odds: 7/2 (Bet365 and Victor Chandler)
Stake: 2 points
Returns: 7 points
