Bit of a disappointing draw in my book with a lot of championship teams drawn against each other. I tend not to bet in the FA Cup as the form lines are much harder to establish especially given the likely changes in team selections.
Having said that i like to see if i can get any value and have had a couple of nice priced shock winners in the earlier rounds. This weekend I like the look of BRADFORD at Millwall at 10/3Bolton at 6/4 to beat Wigan looks overpriced and i will try small wagers at big prices on IPSWICH at 15/2 at Soton and COLCHESTER at Cardiff at 7/1
Despite the reruns of three classic finals, I agree, it's not a draw to get excited about from a betting point of view.
Swansea play their third away match in six days at Tranmere on Saturday, Tranmere are 9/1.
I'm surprised to see Ipswich are as big as 8/1 at Southampton and I've had a slash at Watford at 26 on here. Should know better really as I remember doing the same on their last FA Cup trip to Chelsea which ended 5-0.
Also looking at Doncaster, Rochdale, Preston and West Ham at shorter odds than the above speculative efforts.

Few years ago Bolton were 6th in the Premiership and played a total reserve side away to Arsenal in the FA Cup.
Fat Sam was asked why?
He said that one point is worth more financially than winning that cup match.

For me if there is going to be a big cup upset it will be Dover beating Crystal Palace...........although this side is many leagues below the confidence in the team having not been beaten in about 12 games plus playing at home at a packed stadium and knowing that Palace will be the ones under pressure with a new manager. Palace haven't scored in there last 4 away matches and playing on a smaller cut up pitch. Dover at 8-1 on here........my biggest bet tomorrow at £100 with the intention of Dover scoring and then cashing out hopefully making a few hundred profit.
Thoughts??

Cheers Dragon, that's what I'm hoping for a Blyth like first half then cash out. Also been following you backing Newport which has given me quite a healthy pot to have a punt on Dover.

Crystal Palace @ 1.50 Sunderland @ 1.53 Aston Villa @ 1.40 Southampton @ 1.44 Man Utd @ 1.22 Arsenal @ 1.36
6 fold - one bound to let me down probably Palace
