Scottish Cup First Round - Superbigal?

How much did you get on.

£85 ,  better than nothing have access to a few other PP accounts but didnt have time to get on cheers anyway

Was locked but probably computer just shortening. Now 21/20 so calculators required. Still huge arb

Have you any fancies for tomorrow in the other fixtures al?

Post when wifes in bed

Corrie's finished....time for an early night Mrs Al? :-D

best shortie - cove to beat banks'o dee - big local derby, both were bigshot junior teams before cove went to highland league

best outsider - hawick ra at home to beat huntly, because huntly are desperately poor this year (and indeed past few) and living off past glories

PP now 2/9 !!

When were Cove a Junior Club?  Must have been years ago.

Tomorrow  I like the look of West Calder away to Ardeer imo they should be favs.

stolen from Wiki

Cove were formed in 1922 and played in the local amateur leagues until 1985, when they became a junior team. However, the club applied and were accepted to the senior Highland Football League in 1986, where they have played ever since. They have also racked up a formidable reputation in the lower rounds of the Scottish Cup, reaching the 3rd round three times. In 2001 they won their first Highland League championship – but even more impressively won the quadruple of Highland League, Aberdeenshire Shield, Scottish Qualifying Cup, and Highland League Cup.

Sorry guys real lack of time and have to go out early tomorrow to pick up a shiny new car.
For now i'm not going to make any comments on the handicaps, win to 0, score both halfs etc. Some of my comments will lead to have a go yourself.
The games I am very confident which can at least land us a reasonable acca are as follows.

Banks of Dee (North Juniors) v Cove Rangers (HL)  Cove 2/5 best price.  Cove are flying in the highland league with 9 wins from 9 games played. That includes a 3-0 drubbing of high spending Brora. They have played both the qualifying rounds including smashing St Cuthberts 7-2 in the last round. Banks of Dee are from the North region Juniors and only get in due to having a qualifying license !! They started the season with a bang and I have backed them to win the title. However North Juniors are frankly of a poor standard. They have also lost their last 2 matches. In the league last week and significantly a 4-1 midweek defeat in a local area cup tie against a highland league team Inverurie.  Cove had actually just won at Inverurie in the league the saturday before. Dees previous ties against decent HL opposition have seen a 5-0 dumping last season at Brora, and a 5-1 defeat at Inverurie.  Comfortable Cove win for me. Possibly to nil.

Lothian Thistle (EOS) v Kelty Hearts (East Juniors)  Kelty 1/2 best price. Lothian from the weak East of Scotland league defeated a moderate Junior team Girvan after a replay in the preliminary round. They suffered a 4-1 hammering in their league last week. Kelty are the East Junior champs and are an outfit full of senior experience. Their 1st excursion in the prelim so them winning easily 4-0 at Civil Service who are in the same league albeit weaker than Lothian. Kelty have had to play all of their games this season so far away from home, as a 4G surface is being installed. Only 1 defeat on opening day sees them topping the table and looking capable of defending their title. I expect them to win by a couple although they have conceded a few this season.

Gala Fairydean Rovers (LL) v Linlithgow Rose (East Juniors)  Linlithgow 8/15 best price.  Gala play in the lowland league and are on a poor run with only 1 win in 6 and that against the bottom team Threave. They have faced a junior team twice in the Scottish and been well beaten both times. Classy Linlithgow only get in from the juniors this season via the licensing. They are unbeaten in the superleague this season and hitting form at the right time. Last season they held championship Raith Rovers for a long time after demolishing LL Dalbeatie in an earlier round. Dalbeatie are a better outfit than Gala. Another comfortable win for me although again may concede 1.

Threave (LL) v Stirling Uni (LL)  Stirling 4/9 best price. This is fairly easy to summarise. Struggling Threave have 1 win in their last 23 matches. 8 straight losses. Last week they lost 4-1 to YES Stirling Uni ! The tax dodgers are on a 5 game unbeaten run including beating last seasons champs Edinburgh City. Critically Threave have been playing a lot of trialist who are not eligible for this tie. I expect a similar result to last week.

Formartine (HL) v Gretna (LL)  Formartine 2/5 best price.   So after a run of 4 kiss of death odds on away shots, a change of policy. Formartine top the Highland League with 8 wins in a row, including a 2-0 victory at Brora. Gretna are no mugs in the Lowland League but they do tend to struggle on the road with only 1 win in last 9 away games. Lets face it this is a long trip. I expect at least a 2 goal victory.

Spartans (LL) v Coldstream (EOS)  Spartans 1/4 best price.  Surely a safe banker for the line. Spartans suddenly hitting top form in the LL with 3 wins in a row against a moderate team from a poor league. Spartans who beat Morton in last years competition should win this tie easily. Coldstream have not won a tie for many years and have taken part in the glorious -4 handicap bets of previous years. They actually denied me a 9-0 correct score in a 9-1 defeat in the famous 100k year.

Now thats where I believe the acca ends for now.
I have heard from that reliable source above wickerman that Dalbeatie travel without a back four !!! to Fraserburgh. The broch are a reasonable bet at 4/6 and are in better form than the visitors. Wicker could maybe post if a good thing.

Maybe back tomorrow with any news.
Also Cumbernauld Colts (LL) play Glasgow Uni (Amateurs) on sunday and my nerves would not allow 24 hours of potential waiting. The home team should win easily at 1/4

I think i am on all of the above pity they won't take a decent bet  where are PP and Ladbrokes , at bigger prices had some singles on the teams below  ,Sportsbook now have odds and side markets up though they do limit quickly

BSC Glasgow 9/1
Hawick 3/1
Selkirk 11/2
Edinburgh Uni evens

Cheers SBA.

Done the above 6 in 'win by more than 2' 'win both halves' 'win to nil' and some exotic correct score doubles, SBA and the Scottish Cup owe me nothing, :) cheers

I did laugh that my mate thought i was waiting on tips from a Super Bi Gal though lol

Cheers Wickerman for the info on Cove. It must have been one uneventful season Cove spent in Juniors then. I was only 9 at the time so won't lose any sleep over it.

Interested on why you have the punt on BBC Wickerman.

Arghhh. Predictive text. Should obviously have read BSC Glasgow. Massive price.

I have to head out now. Will let you know about that shop in Arbroath Road Owen.
It is also Junior cup 1st round day and that trip to Hills counter is to place the following.
Kennoway Star Hearts 1/2  at Vale of Leven
Yoker 1/4 at Sunnybank
Newmains 21/20 home to Fraserburgh
Jeanfield 1/2 home to Blairgowrie
Parkvale 1/2 at Fochabers

hi Nocko , i had BSC 5/1 on my tissue ,according to twitter they have signed  3 decent players  ,Talbot 1/6 fair enough away to Hermes in the last round but this is a step up , BSC have lost there last  4 but seemed to play well enough going down to spartans and edinburgh City

We're excited to officially announce the signings of Mark Dryden, Gerard Traynor, and Del Moore! Please join us in as we welcome the talented trio ahead of this weekends Scottish Cup First Round match versus Auchinleck Talbot F.C. ::

Cumbernauld 1/3 with Hills, worth the wait hopefully.

Any easy way of checking our scores as the games progress?..tia

yep, here usually the best place
Cheers Al, best of luck

Just been in the Will hill shop in Chelmsford town centre , they wouldn't take the acca, singles only, the girl was apologetic and I explained I couldn't get the bet on their website due to spouse imposed restrictions and its ridiculous that their not taking bets on their sponsored competition. Went into pp and got on easy.

I can't find the markets on the PP website? Any ideas chaps?

jack..are they on a coupon in the pp shop?

SK- I didn't look at the paper coupons ,I got on with the touch screen if that's any help mate .

cheers danny.

PP online now

Cheers to the OP, first go at this, conservative stake

Anyone know what sort of stake the OP does on this? Is it a balls deep job? Wondering how confident he is. What was the 100k year as well?

with these matches its just the case of getting as much on as you can they only come round once a year its a bawdeep day

think the biggest wins were when PP had handicaps JC, they were for me anyway.

Done cross doubles on those 6 teams winning 4-0 or 5-0.

who with mary?

No worries mate done it with pp cheers.

Thanks for your summary bigal - had a small punt on the 6 fold you put up - good luck all!!

Paddy Power is certainly of interest. However it appears my arb from last night is killing any prospect of a decent bet. Card well and truly stamped.

Yes would not put you off Paddys Hcaps at -1

an overs 6 fold on bigals selections gives you a nice 3.6 acca on b365 too

Al - Cheers let me know

Jackdanny - what's address of shop roughly - why only singles?

Wickerman - Cheers. I'd have Hermes as slight favs at BSC so I don't reckon it's a step up but good luck with that one. Hope your lucky.

Anyone know of a good, reliable website to follow these scores?  Thanks

Arite Nocko, The shop is in Baddow road in Chelmsford, to be fair the girl behind the counter was only repeating what she got told on the phone which was single match bets only. I sent an email to WH customer services asking why.

We'll I'm at celubrious lochee harp v tayport Scottish junior cup tie
Hopefully phone reception and charge will hold up

blast 1 short for acca

West Calder were up 3-0 and drew 3-3 Arghhh

Kelty broke our hearts for the acca SBA, handicap 4 timer landed though, many thanks for the input and roll on the next round eh.

Hi Guys, I've done a tenner Acca on Formartine, Spartans, Linlithgow, Stirling Uni & Cove...all to be winning at Ht/Ft.....my bet is currently unsettled with jam stains.....does anyone know what the half time scores were? Thanks

It's a loser

I believe Gretna equalised in 42nd minute. Reports say Formartine should have been out of sight by then. Think the others were all winners.

Many thanks Al, more great info, more winners, and more profit.

Billies 5/6 acca refund saved some here Al, great stuff.

Colts  3 Uni  0

Just a quick sideline away from the footy and only cos I work in St Andrews.

Anyone as a lucky chap to work about 300 yards from the famous links at St Andrews I have been out on the course since monday.
Was interesting to see Pat Perez playing from as early as Monday. Striking the ball really well.
Today however Branden Grace and Charl Swhartzel were burning the links up. Speaking to an ammy partner (They were on a wager), they had hit 15 birdies between them before the 16th Tee. Grace in particular was playing superbly.
Both played with driver on 16 shaping left to right which is the toughest option on that hole. Both then pitched to within 10 feet. They both missed the putts but I have seen more than enough to have my sheckles on Mr Grace.

His course form is pretty strong. 20th at the Open. Won this in 2012. Tied 25th last year after an opening disaster at Carnoustie.
Tied 4th at Us Open and 3rd at the PGA this year.  With Spieth and Day around this year that is very solid major form.

thanks bigal im on at 16-1

For me it's far too competitive to bet. I honestly couldn't rule out 70+ of the field. St Andrews is a piece of piiss with no wind and the pin placements set easy for the celebs. They'll wipe the floor with it, Kingsbarns and even the toughest course Carnoustie. The pro-am nature of the tournament may suit some more than others but it's really just gonna be a putting contest primarily. The winning score will probably be about 25 under maybe lower.

After trading loads of players the last couple of days I've decided it's too difficult and laid them off for £200 profit. Kept Bjerregaard and Pelle Edberg for 3k each as I think longer hitters will be favoured but I couldn't be confident about anyone.

Good luck SBA and everyone else. You'll need it
