I think Spurs should win as Wigan are missing Zaki and Heskey

You are right but I'm gonna have a small bet on spurs -1.0 on Betfair. They are currently 2.6.

If spurs win by 1 you get money back

A minefield indeed. Any serious gamblers should avoid.............. but........ for the occasional betting mug like me I think i'll do a first goalscorer on the Liverpool game.

I'm thinking Robbie Keane 5/1, just for a bit of interest in the game.

Any serious gamblers should avoid:D

I can see a few nice trebles that should be comfortable wins.

Example

Arsenal to beat Plymouth 1/5
Ipswich to beat Chesterfield 2/5
Middlesbrough to beat Barrow 1/7

This pays c. 9/10

Had a nice bet at 9/10.

Chelsea was a killer for the bookies today with Celtic.

Ah I know the saying alright, but surely it's the bookies made the killing and it was a killer for the punters, certainly not a killer for the bookies.

Villa should take care of Gillingham today pretty handy. They are quality away from home and MON is gonna field a strong team supposedly

EDIT: or maybe not, hes made a few changes. Still should have enough to win though

cant bet and wont bet on fa cup games

i would rather avoid them and keep the tenner or 20 quid i would put on.. just had shock and disgust over so many seasons that it cringes my stomach betting on domestic cups (in any country)

would give a few picks, but in honesty just preparing for the "but if only that 1/4 or 1/5 shot didnt draw...or lose" etc

best of luck to those on it though, ill look at the league games at the weekend, already lost enough on the horses today

not going to bet on it but i reckon Birmingham, Draw, Burnley(QPR terrible on the road),Doncaster(hitting a bit of form but dodgy because they might be more concerned with staying in Championship),Millwall, Swansea, Sheff Utd, Draw(both probably don't care about the cup), Peterborough(WBA other priorities)
