4th Round (and replays) out of the way

Chelsea 7/4
Man City 4/1
Tottenham 13/2
Villa 7/1
Birmingham 14/1
Fulham 14/1

Bolton 40/1
Portsmouth 40/1
West Brom 50/1
Stoke 50/1
Reading 100/1
Southampton 150/1
Palace 150/1
Deby 200/1
Cardiff 200/1
Notts County 500/1

Bolton may be a value bet as I think they will knock Spurs out.

Odds after Quarter Final Draw (4 games require a replay)

Chelsea 11/8
Villa 6/1 (require replay Palace H)
Tottenham 13/2 (require replay Bolton H)
Man City 10/1 (require replay Stoke A)
Birmingham 12/1
Fulham 14/1
Portsmouth 25/1
Stoke 40/1 (require replay Man City H)
West Brom 50/1 (require replay Reading H)
Bolton 66/1 (require replay Tottenham A)
Reading 100/1 (require replay West Brom A)
Palace 200/1 (require replay Villa A)

No major changes as a lot of the unfancied teams got knocked out, and the few that are still in, have to face replays. Although unrealistic, if all 3 of Villa, Man C and Spurs go out in their replays, we could become 2nd favourites. It'll be after the replays are concluded that we'll get to see a more realistic market.

Quarter Final Line Up - Prices to win FA Cup

Chelsea 11/10 v Stoke 25/1
Reading 50/1 v Villa 4/1
Fulham 12/1 v Tottenham 5/1
Portsmouth 25/1 v Birmingham 12/1

These are best odds with all main bookies. Corals seem very competitive with most teams.


Chelsea might look like the obvious winners, but where as they've been forunate to keep getting home draws against lesser opponents. They have a PL title and a CL competition to compete in, not winning the FA Cup will not cost Ancelotti his job. Stoke will go for this, and although I couldn't see them beating Chelsea at the bridge, they may be capable of forcing a replay. Villa have another cup final to compete in, and Reading have been one of the giant killers this season, that game will not be easy. Spurs along with Villa are still in the race to finish 4th, and Fulham away is a really tough fixture. Fulham themselves are still ejoying their Europa League campaign. Best value - Blues, Stoke and Reading.

When Pompey go into administration, I'd be interested to see if their odds shift out at all. A club resigned to relegation and a lot of players in the market for moves, and all that jazz...

Plus a token bet on us loike.

Can you get e/w on those odds? Portsmouth at 25s looks well worth it to me.

As a rule its 'one third the odds to reach the final 'i.e. 1.2' so say £50 each way on Pompey at 25/1 would mean a return of £466.67 getting to the final or £1,766.67 if they won the cup.

So basically, one lucky goal against shot-shy Blues and one lucky ball in the bag with serial woeful second half of the seasoners, aston villa's number on and we're home and dry?
