LOCAL bookmakers Eastwoods (now Ladbrokes) were hit with some cracking bets at the weekend by local punters,
On Monday morning we had our first punter through the door telling us of his weekend bet.
The lower Falls punter was still shaken up by the soccer bet he did at the weekend. The punter in question couldn’t believe he had touched for close to £4,000 (see right).
He placed a £10 bet on seven teams in Chapel Lane on Saturday afternoon. The first six results came in with Donegal Celtic (8/5), Distillery (1/1), West Brom (7/5), Northampton (9/10), Notts County (2/1) and Hereford (4/5) all touching.
Just the one result to come and he was waiting on Rochdale (13/8) to come in. It was 1-1 and the time was 4.53pm – our punter was hoping for a miracle.
The miracle duly arrived when Rochdale scored in the fourth minute of injury time to hand our punter the bet of a lifetime.
He picked up £3,901.70 all told, thanks to that late, late goal. What a great bet.
North Belfast punter Paul Porter was also in the money at the weekend. He placed £5 on the two from each section and when Linfield (4/7), Torquay (4/7), Ipswich (8/11), Rushden (8/11), Cardiff (5/4), Westerlo (Belgium, 5/4) and Wycombe (11/8) all won on Saturday our punter was waiting on three teams on Sunday for his boat to come in.
Rangers (4/7) won with ease at Kilmarnock and Turkish side Trabzonspor (8/5) squeezed home 2-1.
He was waiting on Belgian side Anderlecht (3/10) for the bet and had to wait to 7pm that night. They won 2-1, the other side missing a penalty.
Our punter picked up close to £2,400 for his multi-European bet – another great piece of punting.
...and so too were Sean Graham
THE winning didn’t stop there with Sean Graham also taking a bit of a battering.
A Falls Road punter placed a 50p Lucky 15 – and what a bet it turned out to be!
Alberta’s Run (9/2, tipped on our blog) ran out an impressive winner to get the bet off to a flyer when winning the 1.15 at Ascot. Backbord (11/2) won the 1.50 at the same track after collaring Peacock on the line.
Two from two and a half an hour later the bet was on one hell of a sweat when Smoothly Does It did just that in the 2.20 at Uttoxeter, winning at rewarding odds of 12/1. Our punter hardly got a sweat with his last horse Wanango (9/4) who won on the bridle in the 3.50 at Uttoxter. He picked up £1,739.38 – not a bad return for a £7.50 outlay.
It’s hard enough getting the odd double up at the geegees but a Whiterock punter hit Grahams for SEVEN on Saturday. The punter placed a £4 seven-timer and watched as they all came in – Silver Guest 5/4, Song Of Songs 5/6, Katchit 4/5, Wanango 9/4, Whiteoak 5/2, Elusive Dream 4/7, and Segal 1/2 made it the lucky seven on the day.
He picked up a cool £796.33 for his £4 bet – an excellent piece of picking.

Who won the Carling Cup last year?
answers to puntersguide@irelandclick.com
Carling Cup this Sunday
First Goalscorer - ROBBIE KEANE
Spurs to win - 2-1
Robbie Keane is a good bet yid army but have a sneak for chelsea.The rested a few big guns during the week and will probably bore their way to a sneaky 1-0 win plus spurs have a hard game tonight.Don't touch it tho,bet with your head not your heard.

I'm quietly confident that we can beat Chelsea on Sunday but it will not be easy.
I disagree about tonights game though, I think we will win it and if we go 2 or 3 up we can start to bring off the likes of Keane, Berba, Lennon, Jenas etc. We should have had the tie wrapped up last week but we failed to do so and we gave SP a chance. But our home form is very good and I think we should be o.k tonight.
fancy spurs tonight yid army,but chelsea will be a different cattle of fish.You know what they are like.masters of defending,boring tactics then sneak a goal and defend with terry putting every ball into row z.it works for them tho.If you can keep drogba and anelka(if he is not cup tied) quiet i think yous stand a chance.
del boy
get on chelsea to win 2-1 like last years final,altho chelsea played a top team last year in arsenal.will be easier this year for them against a mid table outfit.
