Win3 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Basically I have an interest in league betting ( to win league outright) in the European leagues and find it easier to pick winners, I'm more of a long term bettor. In the Irish second division longford town are 9 points clear of the rest and yet are 1/2 to win the league. I know it's odds on and everything but I think this is a great bet and like buying money. I think i might Just walk into paddy power Tommorow and do the bet for a £500 stake lol, would you guys back this, or leave it alone?

ThusPrider Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Re: Are these Strange odds ? I'm no expert in the Irish second division, but all outright odds are usually produced by factoring in the remaining fixtures and taking the aggregate odds of all the combinations of them finishing the league in first position, or any of the other teams managing to produce something special to take first spot. I'd go have a look at the remaining fixtures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aidymac Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Re: Are these Strange odds ? Longord are away to Athlone in the next fixture! Athlone will fancy their chances at home. Only a 6 point gap if they win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max2112 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Re: Are these Strange odds ? Are the odds big enough to back Athlone as well? Looks to be a two horse race already Just had a look at the B365 odds Longford 1.5 and Athlone 4.0 - backing both will create an nice arb with a 9% yield - TBH can't see any other team getting close :) So for your £500 stake - £364 on Longford with your saver of £136 on Athlone gives a profit of over £45 whichever win the title Obviously if you lump all £500 on at 1.5 and Athlone win their home game then that 1.5 looks pretty skinny :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
