Weekend Football betting tips
by Ben, last updated 2009-01-22 23:36:11I think betting on the FA Cup is extremely risky. Keep the stakes small as team motivation plays a big role in the results here. Too many non-triers.
FA Cup betting tips.
24 January 2009
12:40 Hartlepool (4.5) Draw (3.5) West Ham (1.85)
Hartlepool knocked out Stoke last round. I don't think they'll be able manage it again. West Ham turned the corner. Away win at 1.85 at VCBet
15:00 Chelsea (1.2) Draw (7) Ipswich (17)
Should be a home win. Odds are pretty good considering 1.2 is what you get in the premiership against some teams. Going to skip this one though. I have seen much better five to one on bets.
15:00 Doncaster (6.5) Draw (3.8) Aston Villa (1.67)
I think this will be an away win. Villa play better away from home. O'Neil could be targeting the cup this year. Going well in the league. Price is 1.67 at Betfred I am more confident about this than the Chelsea home win.
15:00 Hull (1.62) Draw (3.8) Millwall (6.5)
The odds are a little short here for the home win. Hull are getting dragged in to the relegation battle now. I don't think Hull will put out a full strength team. Last round they knocked out Newcastle with a weakened side. No bet.
15:00 Kettering (10) Draw (4.5) Fulham (1.4)
92 places between these teams. That explains the price. Fulham haven't got a good away record but last time out they did beat Sheffield Wednesday. Price is Fulham at bluesquare
15:00 Portsmouth (1.85) Draw (3.5) Swansea (4.5)
Swansea are the draw specialist of the Championship. Portsmouth even though are the holders may think that premiership survival is more important than the FA Cup. I think this one could end up a draw. Price is 3.5 at Paddypower
15:00 Sunderland (2.38) Draw (3.3) Blackburn (3.3)
Tricky one this. Depends on the team sheets. Both teams could realistically get relegated and this could prove a distraction. I'll leave judgement on this one until I see the team sheet.
15:00 West Brom (1.8) Draw (3.6) Burnley (4.8)
Another tricky one. Burnley were unlucky against Spurs but surely tired after their heroics. West Brom might not turn up. If they do, 1.8 is a steal. Can get 1.8 at Bet365
15:00 Wolverhampton (2.5) Draw (3.4) Middlesbrough (3)
Nice price on the away win here. Wolves can win the Championship this year and do they really want a cup run? Southgate under a lot of pressure and a game like this could ease some of the pressure if Boro win. Price for the Asian Handicap is 2.2 for Boro at +0 (ie, draw no bet) at Paddypower
17:15 Manchester United (1.36) Draw (5.5) Tottenham (10)
Lambs to the slaughter here. I usually say Man U are 1-0 wonders but I think this time they might run riot. Something seriously wrong with Spurs. While United are not conceding the logical bet is Man U to win to nil. Price is 2.25 at Ladbrokes
25 January 2009
13:30 Cardiff (6.5) Draw (4) Arsenal (1.67)
I need to check the team sheet but if Wenger puts the strongest team out this should be an away win. The FA Cup is the only thing Arsenal can win this season so Wenger should go for this. Price is a bit low but it is still my choice. 1.67 at VCBet
16:00 Liverpool (1.7) Draw (3.5) Everton (6.5)
Liverpool have two big games next week in the league. The big game for them was last Monday when they drew 1-1. I can see the same result again. Liverpool won't be as interested in this game but Everton don't have the strike force to win at Anfield though. Price for the draw is 3.5 at Paddypower
