Bookies brace themselves for a Keith Barry bashing!

Druid Master Keith Barry is at it again with his sporting predictions, and has bookies Paddy Power running for cover!

Barry is predicting a 2-1 victory for Ireland at Croker this Saturday, and is also predicting star striker Robbie Keane will score the first goal of the game.

The odds on Ireland defeating France 2-1 are 10/1 while the odds on Keano hitting the back of the net first are 6/1. Shrewd punters however, have been busy snapping up the 35/1 odds on both occurring!

It’s no surprise that Paddy Power is a little worried. The bookie still bears the scars from last year when Barry correctly predicted that Leinster would beat Leicester by exactly 3 points in the Heineken Cup Final. It left a hole in Paddy Power’s pocket for more than €200,000.

Paddy Power said: “We take Keith’s predictions very seriously as do the rest of the country by the looks of things! Keith has already proved he can get it right we’re just hoping his crystal ball is on the blink this weekend!”

And Paddy Power are also throwing Irish fans a novelty lifeline this weekend. If X Factor twins Jedward are unfortunate enough to get eliminated this week, Paddy Power will refund all losing 1st/last goalscorer, correct score & scorecast singles on the match!
