Longshots

[FC Basher]

Ok Longshots will be back this season,im not sure what some punters would precieve as a longshot,maybe punters who back odds on and very short prices might consider a 2/1 shot as long,anyway im starting at 4's this season.I will be looking at most leagues,but I sense the lower leagues in England always will spring a few nice prices most week mainly due to some shocking defending. Selections to follow, looking at Orient away to Southend at 4's looks likely to get the ball rolling.

How many longshots will we be sitting on with leads only to throw them away with minutes left,you know its going to to happen.This is going to be one gaint rollercoaster ride

Not for punters with a nervous disposition

I'll be joining you with this when I get the chance Basher. I do love my long-shots!

Actually backed Orient a few times at some pretty hefty prices last year, mainly on the say-so of Ling's column in the racing post. You can be sure that when he says Orient have a decent chance in a game, then they have a decent chance. He was quite buoyant before their game at Forest, which they went on to win - at a quite hefty 7/1 if I remember correctly. I was on them that day luckily. Could be a decent shout away to Southend, I'm gonna wait until Mr Ling has his say-so though.

Great to have onboard rockin_cherub

Whens Lings column in the Racing Post?

Usually on Saturdays.

I've not got any stats or anything to go from, just what I remember, but if Ling was confident on The O's they usually put up a decent showing, if not they usually got beat. I'm also sure he wasn't too great at predicting other teams results though, so I'd just stick to him for info on his team.

I suppose its easy to talk up your owns teams chances,but like you said rockin if hes confident in hes sides chances and can give good reasoning well thats something.Going to have to put my bets on by friday night tho,working saturday.
