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 10/3 Bolton 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

Any thoughts / comments?

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.

As a life long Barnsley fan, I get no pleasure in reporting Middlesborough at 1.8 looks like banking rather than gambling.

Devalued Cup and a minefield until line ups are confirmed.

Most clubs only interested in league money these days. Cry

Newcastle under Pardew had no interest in winning anything - did you not see the banners at the matches last season?

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. Cry

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??

good luck with that tom worth a go i guess given the stary that blyth had yesterday you just never know , im going to have a small dabble on ipswich at around 15/2

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.
