It just has to be Cork or Dublin...... hasn't it!

The All-Ireland Football Quarter Finals were a huge win for the bookies last week with both Kerry and Tyrone both losing and now surely Cork or Dublin will take the Championship. With both still over even money there is a chance to back both of them and guarantee yourself a bit of profit. Like most bets of this nature you'll need to lay out quite a bit of cash if you want some good returns but this is nearly a dead cert in my opinion. I would prefer if they weren't playing each other in the Semi-Finals but the prices probably wouldn't be as good if they were.

Odds: Cork 11/8 (Victor Chandler), Dublin 13/5 (Boylesports)
Stake: Cork - 80 points, Dublin - 50 points
Returns: Cork win - 60 points, Dublin win - 50 points


Like last week I'll be sticking with the Europa League qualifiers again because there is really not much else on at the moment. I'd be going with both Juventus -1 and Liverpool -1 who are both at home to inferior opposition in Shamrock Rovers and Rabotnicki. Juventus made light work of Rovers last week in Dublin winning me a few bob as they led at both HT and FT to bring in my safe bet last week @ 5/6. Liverpool had an easy time of it away to Rabotnicki an won by the same scoreline as Juventus, 2-0. (Fail)

Odds: 5/6 (bwin.com)

Stake: 12 points

Returns: 10 points


Not really much of a danger bet this week but since I'm betting on golf I'm going to call it a danger bet! The WGC-Bridgestone Invitational kicks off tomorrow - 4th August - and Ladbrokes and Bet365 are giving odds of 7/4 for Lee Westwood to be the top Englishman of the tournament. Westwood has been playing very well over the last couple of months and this seems like a fairly sound bet to me. Only going to stick a bit of change on it however as my golf betting record hasn't exactly been on fire in the past! (Fail)

Odds: 7/4 (Ladbrokes and Bet365)

Stake: 4 points

Returns: 7 points
