1st 2008 Weekend Betting(FA CUP)

jameshayes · 03-01-2008 11:24am #1

This weekend is full of games, 32 FA Cup Games, 2 Leage one games, 7 league two games and a load of scottish & spanish games!

Traditionally one of the top 4 gets knocked out in this round. Who will it be?

Arsenal
Man Utd
Chelsea
Man City(lol, i'm not including Liverpool anymore)

paulizei · 03-01-2008 12:40pm

I'm considering QPR +2 @ 7/5. Chelsea have loads out injured and everyone else needs a rest. Plus they have the carling cup semi on the 8th. It's a derby game too, so QPR should have plenty of support there.

jameshayes · 03-01-2008 12:42pm

I think Man Utd will have problems in Villa Park, They normally have a great record there but with Tevez out it may be a problem..

Sounds like a good bet QPR seem to be hitting a bit of form lately also

Pj! · 03-01-2008 6:12pm

Villa could be huge value here at 7/2 depending on what team United put out.

Pressure is on all round this year and resting players is always Fergie's way but there is a week before their next game.
I'll definitely be watching out for the team news.

I wouldn't get carried away yet, definitely wait for the teams. United may well have a very strong team out. Tevez won't be there but Rooney could be back.

But it is definitely one to keep an eye on.

dsmythy · 03-01-2008 10:21pm

Havn't really been able to pick out any outsiders worth backing so i'm stuck with a pack of odds-on shots. I was going to back then all separately until i realised Ladbrokes are the best price i can get on 4 of my 5 selections.

So i'm doing a rare acca.

Blackburn 4/11
Norwich 4/9
Fulham 4/11
Birmingham 4/5

Knowing Ladbrokes they'll tempt in people with these prices then cut cut cut!

The odd one out of my 5 picks is Portsmouth away to Ipswich at 11/10 with Boylesports. I see them as 10/11 shots. I know Ipswich are great at home but this is Premier League class coming. Plus Portsmouth have recently been happier on their travels.

I would go with an Ipswich Portsmouth draw TBH

Bubs101 · 04-01-2008 1:04am

Tottenham look bang on to beat Reading at around 1-2

I don't give a **** about the cup

Dave Kitson with a heads up

norm · 04-01-2008 11:08am

Probably going with a double of Newcastle and Portsmouth to win. Anyone know if Portsmouths African players are still around? Could be a change of heart if they have already gone.

Keano · 04-01-2008 11:16am

They leave after the Ipswich match so change of heart needed

willis · 04-01-2008 11:28am

Longshot but reckon its worth a 5er on the acca
Blackpool 9/4 (in flying form recently)
Sheff Utd 9/2 (reckon Bolton will rest most players,Utd very strong underperforming squad)
Spurs 2/5
Bristol City 15/8 (again Boro might rest a few,southgate complained of tiredness after the game on tues)

mike65 · 04-01-2008 12:39pm

Not completly mad high return bet.

Blackburn
Everton
Swansea
QPR +1
Arsenal -1
Stoke win/draw

30/1

paulizei · 04-01-2008 7:01pm

Sheff Utd have scored 3 goals in the last 8 games since Dec 1st, and striker James Beattie is out so I can't see them doing anything against Bolton who concede very rarely at home to top class sides. Bolton to win with a clean sheet is 8/5. A lot depends on whether Anelka plays or not.

I think the weather is going to mess up a lot of the weekend's games.

mike65 · 04-01-2008 7:04pm

Nah the weather is westerly from now on so it'll be seasonal norm. It will be wet though.

Mike.

paulizei · 04-01-2008 7:08pm

Goodo.

mike65 · 04-01-2008 7:40pm

paulizei · 05-01-2008 11:53am

Singles
========
Barrow @ 9/4 and win/draw @ 8/11. They're on a good run and banging in goals.
Coventry + 2 and Ipswich + 1 @ 4/6 each. Possible shocks. Blackburn missing strikers, Ipswich strong at home, Portsmouth sliding a bit and have the African players on the bench cos of african nations thing..
Gloucester City, based on form, 13/8 win, 4/7 win/draw.
Brechin. In form side away to rubbish Berwick. 4/5.

Main combo
==========
Barrow And Draw.
Carlisle. Top side v bottom side with many players out.
Rochdale. Good unbeaten run apart from draws with Mansfield and Wrexham.
Inverness. Strong home record, have taken -1 handicap as well.
Hamilton. Top side on plastic pitch v bottom side.
Ebbsfleet United. Opponents Weymouth have huge problems, manager refuses to select top scorer etc.
QPR +3. Safer than + 2 but still good value @ 1/2.

IrishMike · 05-01-2008 1:29pm

My bet is Carlisle Everton and Inverness CT
€50 pays €135

IrishMike · 05-01-2008 3:54pm

Inverness 3-0 at half time
Carlisle 2-0 down
Maddness.
3 place team at home vs bottom of the table team with loads of injuries and are 2-0 down.
How the hell do i keep picking these matches lately.
Have rangers under 3.5 goals and they are 2-0 at half time
Could be one very very bad day at the office

mike65 · 05-01-2008 3:58pm

Light at the end of a very dark tunnel perhaps?
Carlisle 2-1 down now and rangers still only 2-0 after 60mins

Carlisle 2-2 and rangers still 2-0 after 70mins
But everton are 1-0
My poor heart is not able for this

Carlisle 3-2 Ah hell yes

Come on everton (cant believe i have said that)

hf4z6sqo7vjngi · 05-01-2008 4:18pm

mike65 · 05-01-2008 4:31pm

Swansea are still being held.

Most bets today are on fire by now I imagine. The fourth round draw will be more interesting.

IrishMike · 05-01-2008 5:03pm

Hell yeah and rangers won 2-0
Won €220
Come on everton would take my winnings to the €300 mark which would get me out of a right hole!

hf4z6sqo7vjngi · 05-01-2008 5:03pm

Damage Limitations!! some evening hope. Have a €10 accum and €2 treble total stake of €18 for around €133 which would leave me up €40 for today.
