9/4 for the bridge is very short. Hackett is really tight with his odds. LS, do yyou know if Hackett does handicap betting on the matches? Tullamore would be a very interesting bet with tham having to win by the few points.

No handicap that I know of - plus how can you say 9/4 is very short? If it is, then 2/5 is a bet. In fairness to the man, he's taking only a standard 12% margin ( with the exception of the Gracefield/Tubber match which is a bit of an exception) and you can't say fairer than that for club football.

Any opinion that disagrees with yours is always what you want - of course the problem is that what people usually mean when they say that a team is awful short is that they wanted to back them and that the problem is that the bookie is the right price instead of going too big.

No I didnt want to back the bridge but was only looking for value with the handicap in what surely will be a Tullamore win. Thanks anyway LS.
