Title: FA Cup: who is the value?
Post by: TightEnd on February 15, 2009, 06:45:59 PM
Blackburn or Coventry v Chelsea
Swansea or Fulham v Man Utd
Cardiff or Arsenal or Burnley v Sheffield United or Hull
Everton v West Ham or Middlesbrough

Man Utd   15/8      
Chelsea   10/3      
Arsenal   4      
Everton   9/2   
Fulham 22   
West Ham   25      
Blackburn   28      
Hull   33      
Middlesbrough 33      
Swansea   80      
Sheff Utd   80      
Burnley   100      
Coventry   80      
Cardiff   150

e/w 1/2 odds for the final

I know we can all look at Man U v Chelsea in the final, but where's the value outside that given this draw?

I was thinking West Ham at 25s but can't understand why they are shorter than Boro as they've had the home tie already

then again Boro at home is v winnable

of course Man U worthy favourties, this is for a punt at a price. Camel-lite if you will.

West Ham or Boro imo.  Decent odds and both have a chance against Everton, well more of a chance than against Man U, Chelsea or Arsenal.

I notice that the BBC page on the draw seem to have already knocked out Burnley.

15/8 Utd looks very fair to me.

Fulham. The winners will have to beat UTD at some point, what better stage than at home when UTD have bigger, more importnat games mid-march ish...

If I had to have a bet...

I went to the west ham game yesterday and west ham were poor, and without Carlton Cole they also looked toothless up front.

Arsenal 4/1 ldo.

no stand out lower league value out there this year.

I'm with kev, best bet for value is boro. most boring team in the draw but well capable of grinding out a cup result

The hammers never win at Everton FACT. We have to beat boro away first anyways. Then prob Chelski is the semi's and united in the final. gogogo

I agree, although, im on Swansea instead of Fulham.

Since the draw Swansea have gone out to 150.0, ive placed £5 up @ 200.0, waiting to be matched (hopefully!)

Man Utd will never take this tourney seriously again, get on now!





......Fulham will clearly pump Swansea in the replay now!





EDIT:

£3 Matched @ 200.0, still £2 remaining.

I think you've finally identified some value Dave, the Swans should never be that big after the way they've embarrassed Portsmouth(a), Fulham, Reading and Burnley(a) in recent weeks. About 60-1 would better reflect their chance imo.
