We fancy a flutter here at Balls.ie, and we are putting our money (admittedly not that much) where our mouth is this weekend as we have compiled two accumulators to try and earn a bit of cash.
One is a crazy bet that is high risk, high reward as we looked for the outside chance, the other is a bit more sensible.
Are you sticking an accumulator on this weekend's sporting action? If so, let us know, especially if it comes through!
The Plausible One:
Jermaine Kearse, anytime touchdown @ 7/5 (Super Bowl, vs Patriots)
Russell Wilson has managed to find his wide receiver Jermaine Kearse in his last two games on the way to the Super Bowl, as Kearse has proven himself to be a big game player. We fancy the run to continue.
Crystal Palace to win @ 7/4 (Premier League, home to Everton)
We like the look of Palace under Alan Pardew, and considering Everton have failed to win in their last 7 games, we think the Eagles have enough to take the win at Selhurst Park.
Donegal to win @ 8/15 (Natioal League Division 1, home to Derry)
Donegal have picked a very strong line-up, and being at home we can't look past Rory Gallagher's men here.
Anderson Silva vs Nick Diaz, under 2.5 rounds @ Evens (UFC 183)
Anderson 'The Spider' Silva is on the come-back trail, and we have the utmost faith that he can put Nick Diaz away within the first two rounds. Should Diaz manage a huge upset, then it would likely be a flash KO while he is still fresh.
€5 wins €101.20
The Crazy One
Tipperary to win @ 3/1 (National League Division 3, away to Armagh)
After their resurgence last year we think Tipp could pull of a cheeky upset here and fancy them at that price.
Fulham to win @ 14/5 (Championship, away to Blackburn)
Fulham have claimed impressive wins in their last two performances, while Blackburn (FA Cup aside) have been on a poor run. A good price for the Cottagers.
Seattle Seahawks D/ST, anytime touchdown @ 2/1 (Super Bowl, vs Patriots)
Tom Brady may not throw many picks, but he doesn't have to. The Legion Of Boom are always capable of taking a turnover back for 6, and with the magic they pulled off on Special Teams against the Packers, we wouldn't rule them out there either. We like this bet for a bit of a talking point.
Aston Villa to win @ 11/1 (Premier League, away to Arsenal)
Ok, this one is speculative, but we couldn't resist that price. Aston Villa have been absolutely crap in recent months, and they can't score goals, whereas Arsenal are in good form, so the form-book says an easy Arsenal win. BUT, the form book isn't always correct and there is something about Villa on the counter at the Emirates that tickles our fancy.
€5 wins €2736
Come on!
