    @allyhibs explain your reasoning for the definite Hibs win will you? Because I'm slow lol

    Hearts are in Premiership, Hibs in the next league down...or does it not work like that in Scotland?

    Is it supporters intuition? 

    We are a premiership team playing in the Championship, we would be easily top 5, probably higher if we were in the top league.

    We are at full strength, our midfield is the second best in the country after Celtic.

    Our style of play is perfectly suited to beat their high pressing game.

    Our players know what it takes to win the derbies, we haven't lost to them for a i think 6 games.

    Our manager knows how to win the big games.

    Their fans are over confident that they are going to give us a doing, it usually doesn't work like that in derbies (Hearts fans are the most deluded fannies in world football).

    Jason Cummings is playing, he hates them, he always scores against them.

    We are the cup holders, WE WON'T LOSE THE TROPHY TO THIS LOT.

    12/5 is very good value.

     

     

     

  2. I'll keep this short and to the point;

    Hibs won't lose on Sunday, all the value is on us. Hibs win 12/5. Jason Cummings anytime scorer 6/4.

    Newcastle look back to form after a wee wobble and look a good bet to beat Wolves who were beaten by Burton last time out. There's no real value in the odds but a win's a win, right? Newcastle win 6/5.

    Derby, Scunthorpe, Mansfield treble 4/1, looks good to me.

     

  3. It has to be Stoke this week in the Premiership. They're no world beaters but it's a difficult place to go even for the better teams, Palace are definitely not one of the better teams. As has been said above, they look worse under Allardyce (good, he's a tosser) and after last weeks thrashing from Sunderland, confidence must be low. Odds against looks a tiny bit of value to me. Stoke win @ 11/10.

  4. I'll be swerving the midweek games I think, if I was forced to bet on anything it would be Morton to beat Raith.

    Morton had a poor result at the weekend but QOS isn't an easy place to go, the playing surface is terrible, a real leveller. They like to get the ball down and play football and are, imo, the second best team in the league. Raith are shockingly bad and I think the 6/4 for Morton has a touch of value.

    However, after the weekend I've just had, I wouldn't listen to me if I was you :)

  5. I like the look of Reading to win at Ipswich. Reading look bang in form against an Ipswich side who were thumped 3-0 at home last time out. Reading @ 6/4.

    Exeter are on fire at the moment, scoring for fun and conceding very few, Crewe look the opposite. The odds possibly look a wee bit on the skinny side so i'll double it with Doncaster, another of the countries form teams. Exeter and Doncaster double @ 7/5.

    I know, i know, Hibs again :). We are due to give someone a proper doing and this looks to me like the time. Full squad to choose from, on form, at home, we have a huge cup game next week against Hearts where all the players will be busting a gut to play, Ayr are sh##e. It all adds up to an easy win for the Cabbage. Hibs minus 2 @ 9/5.

    allyhibs, you're always providing good advice about the Hibernian matches but can you use your knowledge of the other teams in the Scottish Championship to make some tips on the other games this weekend?

    I don't usually bet on this league Stevie, too unpredictable with most teams of a similar standard.

    If i had to bet on someone this weekend though it would be Dumbarton @ 8/5. It's a difficult place to go, they recently beat Dundee Utd there and Hibs only won 1-0 a couple of weeks ago. St Mirren are quite simply the worst team in the league by far. The odds look decent to me.

  7. My bet this midweek has to be Rangers to beat Hearts.

    The new Hearts manager is looking increasingly clueless, he came in when they were sitting second in the table and completely changed their style of play. He then publicly stated that the players weren't good enough to play that style and has completely dismantled the team in the last week or so, selling 5 and signing 9 new players in the last week or 2. It all looks looks like desperate panic buying to me (i'm loving it :)). There's no way they can put out a settled side tonight.

    I've stated before that I think this Rangers side are overrated but they are easily good enough to beat this shambles of a Hearts team.

    Rangers win @ 6/4 .

  8. I agree with Spooner above. The odds on West Brom look really nice here.

    If you look back at their form over the last 10 games you'll see they tend to beat most teams outside the top 6. Pulis always has his teams well organised and combine this with Middlesboroughs' struggles in front of goal and it's clear that 1 goal for WBA could be enough to win this.

    West Brom @ 11/5 looks a cracking bet to me.

    I don't want to sound like a broken record but Hibs are a far, far better team than QOS. We have a full squad to choose from and if we play anywhere near as well as we can then we'll win this comfortably. I genuinely believe if this game was played 10 times, Hibs would win at least 8 of them, scoring 20 odd goals and conceding only once or twice. The odds of 4/6 for the Hibs win is a gift from the bookies.

    Elsewhere; the odds on Barnsley @ 7/5 to beat lowly Rotherham, high flying Doncaster @ 11/10 to beat Yeovil and Motherwell @ 4/1 to beat an overrated Rangers all look appealing to me.

    Keeeeerrching :beer

    llyhibs, even though your boys aren't on this list do you want to give us your thoughts. Always love seeing a good old allyhibs accumulator preview!

    You don't really have to put too much thought into a Brighton, Leeds double @ a fraction short of 2/1.

    Since i'm still on holiday and trying not to think too much it's worth a few of my Baht. :)

    There's been a little bit of chat about us maybe resting a few players and playing a few guys who are usually on the fringes of the team but it now looks clear that we'll be fielding our strongest team, which is the correct thing to do given we are the holders of the competition ( i will never tire of saying that :) ) and we have to be careful we don't underestimate Bonnyrigg, who knocked out Championship side Dumbarton in the last round.

    It's that old cliche but if we score early we'll hammer them and you have to think we'll score at least 3. We also have one of the best defences in the country and i really can't see us conceding. As a rule, i don't usually bet on cup games but i think this is printing money. My bet is Hibs win to nil @ 8/15.

    Accumulators are;

    Man Utd, Huddersfield, Sheff Utd, Doncaster.

    Everton, Leeds, Scunthorpe, Cambridge.

    2 x fourfolds, 1 eightfold :drums

     

     

    AAAAArrrggghhhhh.

    A penalty for Bonnyriggs goal which was a blatant dive, F##k right off.

    Poor from me though, i should have picked out a winning bet from this game, must try harder. I'm gonna blame it on I'm still travelling round SE Asia so not as focused as usual. LOL.

    @allyhibs, Scottish FA Cup action this week. Your lads away to 17.00 priced Ballyrig Rose... any chance of an upset? Hahaha. I think my Sunday League side would have better odds than that!

    The odds of 2/5 for the straight away win are a little bit short for me to get involved with Stevie, so the question is - Is there value in 11/10 for Hibs minus 1 or Hibs win to nil?

    Dumbarton is not a ground that lends itself to good football. Small, tight, artificial surface with a small stand only down one side, the other 3 sides are just fences, google it to see what i mean. The horrible weather in Scotland at the moment is another factor to consider, we've also struggled there in the past.

    However. After a little sticky patch, the signs are that we're starting to click into gear. Goal machine Jason Cummings (always worth a punt to score first) came back last week after an absence and scored twice, the influential John McGinn is back after a long absence (we've seriously missed him, one of the best players in Scotland)) and new signing Humphrey gives us the width and pace we've all been waiting 3 seasons to see. I honestly think we'll win this with room to spare. Hibs minus 1 @ 11/10. 

    In the same league, Morton look a good bet to beat Raith.

    Hibs have played them both recently and they couldn't have been more different. I was impressed with Morton, granted, Hibs weren't great but Morton would rightly be annoyed at not winning that night, they deserved more than they got. On the other hand, Raith were shocking, if Hibs had won 8-0 it wouldn't have flattered us. Morton have a very strong home record. Morton @ Evens. 

    Elsewhere;

    One glance at the form table in League 2 shows you all you need to know. Colchester @ 5/4. Wycombe @ 10/11.

    Others for the accumulators include; Arsenal, Sheff Utd, Scunthorpe, Man City, Juventus, Ajax.

     

     

     

     

     

    Aarrrrggghhh, close!! Betting can be painful sometimes. 

    Morton just about save the day though :\

    @allyhibs, you will be pleased to see I've included the Scottish Championship odds for you so we can all get on board the Hibernian money-maker!

    I never understand why people say they don't like betting on the FA Cup. Do the research and either try and find a team you think can cause an upset or find teams you think look good things. Upsets happen in league football as well, but there is less focus on them because you get league games every week. I usually do pretty well on it myself. This year the 1st Round didn't go great, but the 2nd Round I put up Sutton and Barrow to cause the upsets. The Qualifying rounds treated me pretty well as well. Sadly this weekend none of the non-league teams make any punting appeal. Sutton are of interest but I backed them at a bigger price to beat Cheltenham in the previous round so to take shorter against a team in the league above seems a bit silly. Barrow could cause Rochdale problems as well although Rochdale are in very good form at the moment.

    I can't speak for anyone else but for me it's because of the uncertainty around knowing which clubs are taking the competition seriously or not. You don't want to pile in with a big bet only to find out when the teams are announced that they're resting some of their key players. It happens.

    allyhibs....... what's the team news for Hibs, are you expecting your team to be at full strength?

    Sorry Dave, didn't see this till too late, like i said, i'm on holiday :)

    Hibs have had McGinn and Fyvie out injured for a few weeks now and they still didn't start last night, so, no, we weren't going to be full strength, they are arguably our best 2 midfielders, but we are still clearly better than Utd even with players missing.

    Hope you backed Hibs :ok
