Nice one Stelling. Just one pick each right?

2 each I reckon.
Around 1/2 then a shit pick like we do every week.

7 or 8 1/2 shots would return about 20/1 or something.

Longer odds - Glentoran v Larne - NIFL - Sat 3pm - Larne Win

It hasn't been the best season for Larne domestically so far, with their European exploits having a negative effect on their league campaign.
2 league games after Europe have ended in defeat to poorer opposition.
This week though, they have no European games and will want to bounce back after a defeat to Portadown.
They travel to Glentoran for a tie they have won the last 8 times in a row, including the last 4 aways.

Shorter odds - Grimsby Town v Wealdstone - FA Cup - Sat 3pm - Mariners win - 1/3

- Grimsby are mid-table League 2, they blow hot and cold but tend to beat those below them and lose to those above. Wealdstone are in the National League relegation zone, won 2 of 16 this season.

Longer odds - Napoli v Atalanta - Serie A - Sun 11am - Partenopei win - evens

- Napoli are top of Serie A, unbeaten at home, only conceded 2 at home (only conceded 5 in total), won 7 of 9 games.

Shorter Odds
Feyenoord v AZ - Netherlands - Sat 8pm - FEYENOORD WIN

Longer Odds
Southampton v Everton - Premier League - Sat 3pm - EVERTON WIN

[RobbieRedman]

Frankfurt WIN v Bochum 14.30 Sat

around 1/3 Bochum rock bottom lost all 4 away games. Frankfurt with Marmoush in fine form should have enough to put these away comfortably.

Man Utd v Chelsea WIN Sun 4.30

Chelsea @ 6/4 is great, rested midweek and if they play like they did at Anfield will win at this dump.

Frankfurt currently winning in one of the two early Bundesliga games. Other 0-0 currently.

[Once in Royal Craigy DS]

Frankfurt now 2 up.

[RobbieRedman]

Grimsby ffs 

[bradders1011]

No FA Cup fixtures.

[rodderzzz]

No FA Cup fixtures.

Yeah along with my much mocked 'no away teams' rule I also have a 'no cup games' rule lol

[Always in a pub barney on christmas eve]

5/6 from the shorter odds picks with Atletico still to play. Although the Grau pick wasn't exactly short odds at 5/4.

I didn't include any of Nayias picks as they're both random punts and 'due a win' doesn't exactly scream a decent reason for picking a bet.

Regardless, a better showing for selections this week. Grimsby could've worked out different if they didn't miss the early pen.

That's a decent effort in the end.

[Always in a pub barney on christmas eve]

Yeah 6 out of 7 on my bet with probably a missed penalty being the decider. Obviously Grimsby lost 1-0, but probably a different outcome had they scored the pen early on.

I think we should stick with it for a while and see if our luck changes.

I see on Bobs post, he has Grau at 9/20, but my slip has them at 5/4. I didn't look into the selection, but if I did I'd have probably lumped that as a single. Fuck knows why they were 5/4. Even 9/20 was probably too high.

Can't understand the reasoning for picking Wolves or Man United as a short odds pick though given both were over evens, hence why I didn't include either. I wouldn't pick Wolves or United to beat my daughter's under 8s girls team and there is only 7 players in that.

Agreed we should stick with it. We were unlucky with the Grimsby shout.

Wolves and Mancs were brave shout's for short odd picks. Neither side can keep clean sheets it seems.

Short Odds

Hajduk Split v Istra 1961 - Croatia HNL - Sat 4.30pm - HAJDUK WIN

Hajduk sit top of the league and have a 100% win record at home with 6 wins from 6.
Istra have 1 win, 1 draw and 4 defeats from their 6 away games. Overall they sit 6th from 10 in the league.

Hajduk have scored 15 goals in their 6 home games and conceded only 4, whereas Istra have only scored once in their 6 away fixtures.

[bradders1011]

Short odds - Falkirk v Airdrieonians - Scottish Championship - Sat 3pm - Falkirk win - 2/7

Falkirk are 6 clear at the top om 29, W9D2L1, unbeaten at home, GD +17
Airdrieonians are bottom on 5 points, GD -18.

Longer odds - Adana Demirspor v Eyupspor (didn't know Yorkshire had a side in the Turkish Super Lig) - Turkish Super Lig - Sat 4pm - Eyupspor win - 7/10

Eyupspor are 5th, in decent form. Demirspor are marooned at the bottom on just 2 points and haven't scored a point at home.

[The G in Gin&Tonic]

Is it just teams to win now or can we have overs?

I'm happy with anything as long as there has been some thought put into it and a reason for the pick.

[RobbieRedman]

Bochum v Leverkusen 2.30 Sat - Leverkusen -1 handicap @ 8/13


Picked Frankfurt last week against Bochum, 7-2, Bayern put 5 away against them week before, even if Bochum change tactic which they won't Leverkusen should be good for -1.

Liverpool v Villa 8pm Sat - over 5.5 cards @6/5 (ref David Coote)


Coote can't handle games like this, atmosphere will be rocking, have a feeling if we get an early card they will flow.

[Once in Royal Craigy DS]

Short Odds

Mainz vs Dortmund - Sat 2.30pm - Bundesliga - BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Dortmund have scored in their last 7 Bundesliga games, and conceded in 8 of their last 9 games in all comps (Tuesday's game vs Graz was their first clean sheet since 18th Sept). Both teams have scored in 7 out of 9 games Dortmund have played this season. Mainz have scored in all but 2 of their home games this season.


Long Odds

Betis vs Celta Vigo - Sun 1pm - La Liga - BETIS WIN

Betis have won 4 out of last 6 La Liga games, and 4 of their 6 home games (a narrow loss and a score draw being the other 2). Vigo have lost 4 of their 5 away La Liga games this season.

I'll be flying from around 10am UK time tomorrow so will put on whatever the choices are later tonight / early tomorrow so if anyone else getting involved can try and do them before then 

[Always in a pub barney on christmas eve]

LONG ODDS

Wolves v Southampton - Premier League - Sat 3pm - BTTS and over 2.5 goals

Wolves have played 5 home games this season and have an average of 4.2 goals a game. Helped of course with 8 in the Chelsea game, but even without that it would be 13 goals in 4 games.
They have both scored and conceded in all 5 games.
Southampton's 5 away games have returned 14 goals. Slightly under the 3 goals needed, but 1 of those was Abu Dhabi away who have been poor recently and another other was the first game of the season at Saudi when they lost 1-0. Their other 3 games have all ended in a 3-1 defeat.

[The G in Gin&Tonic]

Short odds: Over 2.5 goals - Northern Ireland Premiership - Linfield v Ballymena - Saturday 3pm - Over 2.5 goals

Long shot: Championship - Saturday 3pm - Sunderland v Coventry - Sunderland to win.
