New Ross Celtic +750
Pike Rovers +1871.."Tony Special"
Wexford Youths +864
Athlone +1840..Sure to be "bad" if they win..
Everton +1277..

I recognize Crumlin United, Wexford Youths and Athlone due to the fact that one is a location in Dublin and the other two are counties. I would really love to know where the rest are located.

Good luck though, post the email/chat if things go sour for tony.

haha I hear you.

If you're ever wondering where Tony gets his lines from, check out Betfair and see what the actual market is. There's a big thread about this in PT and all of Tony's lines on golf futures were better than what you could get at other US facing books so some people thought this indicated Tony was taking a shot by hanging "bad" lines. The problem with that theory is that when you looked at Betfair - the actual market as there's not a bookie there to charge juice and bettors are determining the fair line themselves - his lines were comparable and sometimes worse than Betfair. Unfortunately it's the majority of US books - some of whom are SBR advertisers - that hang crappy ass lines well below the actual market on big dogs.

But because Americans have so few options when it comes to gambling, they can do it and not only do people not really complain, but they assume Tony's lines must be "off" because they don't bother to see what the rest of the world is getting on the same event.

I don't get this....those are your picks??? You think St. Patricks, Cork, Sligo and Shamrock will lose??? Am I missing something here...??? Most of these are derby matches between a Premier or First Division team vs. a local "house-league" type club....

help, please?

I just like to bet really small amounts on some of these big dogs in these one and done cups..All you need is one to hit to make a profit..
Usually .10 unit for me...I know that most of these don't stand a chance in hell of winning and I'm throwing $$ away(hence the .10 unit),but it makes for fun wagering when you have 12-15 games all going at once and you are listening for jingles on Futbol24.com.

LOL well explained. Thanks.

"listening for jingles" lol...funny. I see your point and wish you luck but I have a big parlay with some of those faves you're betting against!! Should be fun!!

BOL bruv.

[bostonbruins]

If you know 5dimes will screw you why buy into it? If your big dogs win which is unlikely you still don't get paid

[beefcake]

I doubt Tony will screw me since I'm betting a whole $2.00 per match...

This whole thread was more or less a Half-joke anyway..

[beefcake]

I think we can cash Wexford!

[bettorjon]

I think we can cash Wexford!

awesome pick if you really had the nerve to pull the trigger

[beefcake]

A lot easier to pull the trigger when you are betting all the dogs..

[ColdBeerHere]
