26.4/1

On paper certainly but it is the FA Cup, you'd have thought at least one of those will see a shock and it's very rare a few ties don't go to extra time at least.

I still might have a tenner though :laugh:

You can never guess anything with the FA Cup, the chances of that coming in are very slim (as are most 26/1 bets) but I wish you well.

I'd put a pound on it myself just out of interest but you'd only get 4 out of 5 if I did!

I have a feeling that Grays will dump Carlisle out.

No. Backing odds on shots is a mug's game.

Moving from the FA Cup to league games, while travelling to an away game earlier this season, I read a report which shows why the bookmakers rarely lose.

It was based on games involving the so called big 4 of Man U , Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal.

Since January 2001 there had been 197 games involving them teams, were you could have bet on all 4 to win over the weekend (not playing each other in other word's)

If you had bet on all 4 to win on those 197 occassions, you would have won on 21 occassions, just over 10% of the time, now how many people actuaaly look at them 4 and put them in accumulators.

No such thing as a certainty.

A good bet?
