Scottish FA Cup 1st Round - September 24th 2016

My thoughts exactly, SBA any advice?

yep, lets be having you Big man.

I've been looking out of him as well, also been on the P and B forums for info but its like tumbleweed on there !

Anyway, there's only a couple of firms that betting on it (mountains and vic/mcbookie) and none of them offer goals or correct scores - obviously taken an absolute hammering for the past few seasons thanks to SBA

Obviously a bit tougher to make a profit now with just WDW bets, but if there's any pricing ricks SBA will be quick to spot them.

I don't know if he'll be around before KO so I've taken a chance and lumped on one before hearing what the big man has to say.
Over to you SBA.

As you say there are problems today. Firstly limited bookmakers, then no exotic bets. Other big problem is the preliminary rounds has weeded out the real deadwood. What you are now left with is Lowland league and Highland league predominately. Their form is not as difficult to plot for the books. As McBookie have a resident expert in non league football it gets even tougher as all the other firms are like sheep and follow his line.
Anyway excuses over here's what I have done or found today.
It is also Scottish Junior cup day so anyone betting online using Mcbookie can avail themselves of those markets as well. It appears if I am not mistaken that BetVeector have allowed those odds onto their platform this week as well. Will hit post now so I dont lose this. Selections to follow.

Bonnyrigg Rose the current East Region Juniors champs head north to face Highland League Turriff today. I have seen Bonnyrigg this season and they are an absolute machine. Best East Junior team I have seen since Linlithgow were at their pomp about 4 years ago. They won their preliminary rounds "quite easily" with my favourite loser Burntisland Shityard on the end of a 14-0 drubbing. The highlanders are weaker than last season and currently mid table with 4 wins and 5 defeats. I cant see them stopping the Bonnyrigg goal machine. Price is generally around 4/5.

Beith the Junior cup champions will wipe the floor with Highland League whipping boys Strathspey. Oh for the -4hcaps !!!  1/12 is better investment than the banks.

Those are the only 2 Scottish Cup matches I have done online. I expect the Buckie rollercoaster to carry on at Inverurie but the early value has gone. Likewise BSC Glasgow should have few problems.
Those that know my passion for criticising North Juniors should note how I have beefed up the Mcbookie line. Livingston Utd 4/9 to beat Cruden Bay. West Calder 1/5 to beat Stoneywood Parkvale. Add Port Glasgow, Dundee North End and Jeanfield as other certainties. I have also done Glenafton at 8/13 to win at Broxburn. More about that in a moment.

On to Coralll who have an in shop Pure Scotland Coupon.
Senior Cup.
Keith who are generally odds on to beat the Juniors Banks o Dee are a tasty 7/5
The aforementioned BSC Glasgow are also too big at 4/9 home to dreadful Rothes.
Junior Cup
Glenafton who I backed at 8/13 are actually 21/20 with Coral.
Hurlford should come away from Lochee Utd with the win at 8/13
Similarly Kennoway are too big at 8/11 to win at Armadale.

Finally some may know that Ladcrooks also print a totally Scotland coupon in shops. It is usually toilet paper as prices are changed when Mcbookie release.  Today some odds not changed. In Junior cup Troon 8/13 to win at Haddington and Renfrew 4/6 to win at Saltcoats are huge price ****ups. Both 1/4 elsewhere.

Good stuff Bigal , purely on price in the coral shop

Selkirk 13/2
Huntly 5/1
CCS 9/5
Whitehill 6/5

cheers for the info, SBA.

I've already lumped on East KIibride (1.30 at mountains, 2/7 with mcbookie). They're on fire just now, have won 8 from 8 and I can't forget their terrific performance v Celtic last season. Vale are mid-table and I'd be surprised if they're good enough to stop EK. Thoughts ?

sba

Yes I saw the Huntly price in Coral Wicker. Very tempting but declined.
I dodged the East Kilbride Platini. Only because i'm a form man and Vale have won 4 from last 5. Home team will probably win though. I predict 4-2.

Good start.

Vale took early lead, but EK have hit 4 since

Lochee United 2 Hurlford 1 ft 

Shocker Troon going out 1st round

Unbelievable all the West Region SL teams capitulating. Glenafton only scraped a late 3-3 at Broxburn. Trust me Haddington are honking. Lochee should not hold a candle to Hurlford. Great results for the East. Thrown my stategy for 6.

Bonnyrigg just went 1-0 then immediately lost an equaliser.
Doomed today.

Just one of they days al.

When do the bigger teams play in the Junior scottish cup?  Seen a lot of teams missing today
