PLACE YOUR BETS ON THE OLD FIRM

Last updated : 26 April 2003 By Followfollow.com
The final OF match of the season, but the bookies have been slow to bring out "specials" and even less generous than usual. Had a look arounf and as of Saturday morning, only the "Magic Sign" have displayed their odds, and their is little there to get you rushing to have a punt.

So far this season we have seen 6,5,1 and 3 goals in OF games. That's an average of nearly four, and as both teams are capable of scoring, and also likely to lose goals, then go high on the TOTAL NUMBER OF GOALS market.

Three is priced at 11/4, with four at 9/2.

If you think my analysis of scoring is wrong then you can bet on Rangers not conceding a goal at 2/1, or not scoring a goal at 5/2.

A strange little bet is "Win first corner". Gers have slight advantage here at 4/6, with scum priced at 11/10.

How about penalties? Mr Dallas is not beyond a little controversy, and he may well award at least one spot-kick. Both teams are priced at 20/1 to miss a penalty, and as celtic have missed more this season, I think that's a good price.

Both teams are also priced at 5/1 to score a penalty. Back Gers here.

Amo to score direct from a free kick. Well if he can get Bazza to let him take one, he's priced at 6/1 to score it.

They have also priced up number of goals each player will score. From Rangers they have nominated four players, De Boer, Lovenkrands, Mols and Arveladze.

Surprisingly, they are all the same prices, 4/9 not to score, 5/2 to get one, 7/1 a double, 33/1 a hat-trick and 66 four or more. The first three are all likely to score, but I can't really see any of them getting more than one. As Rangers goals aer well distributed, this may be a market best left alone.

The match itself is also quite unspectacular. After celtic's arduous trip to Portugal in midweek, and the long long flight home, no doubt they will be too tired to play (aye right Mr O'Neill!!!!!), and the bookies have Gers at clear favourites. Best price I could find was 13/10 with UKBetting and TotalBetting. Draw is best priced at 12/5 with Ladbrokes.

If you think, regardless of what happens tomorrow, we will go on and win the league, rush in and back us at a fantastic(??????) 20/1 ON, and that's best price.
We're also very short (around 9/1 ON) to win the Cup, so you'll have to pay for your own treble celebrations, because the bookies won't be!!!!

I''ve a few 7/4 and 2/1 tickets lying around on Gers to win league, placed in August. Look forward to cashing them in soon.

Enjoy the game.
