Are the bookies having a laugh or what?

[highpeakblade]

I don't like to bet on United much or Wednesday for that matter, I try and steer away from em so my heart doesn't rule my head and ruin any winning opportunities, I do however sometimes like to have a bit in situations like tomorrow simply due to the better odds and stuff and the one of occasion. The bookies however have put me off having a punt big time with in my opinion silly odds, all-be-it flattering in my opinion they are still false and don't offer much value.

Billy Hills
SUFC 17/10 DRAW 21/10 FULHAM 17/10
Coral
SUFC 17/10 DRAW 12/5 FULHAM 6/4
Ladbrokes
SUFC 7/4 DRAW 12/5 FULHAM 6/4
Paddy Power
SUFC 13/8 DRAW 11/5 FULHAM 7/4
Sky Bet
SUFC 13/8 DRAW 23/10 FULHAM 13/8

Don't get me wrong it is flattering that we have been handed the same likeliness as Fulham of winning the game and we did beat Villa which goes in our favour however surely what with them being top flight and us being at the wrong end of league one surely us punters deserve better value than they are offering. Not a single bookmaker offering better value than 2/1?

Fulham have a game on Tuesday night, which considering their current plight is a lot more important than the cup. I wouldn't expect their first 11 tomorrow. A lot of people expect us to win.

Absolutely. We have a very good chance of winning tomorrow. I doubt it'll ever be 50/50 with a PL side, but we're probably around 35/40%. If we get the first goal, we'll win it.

Don't we have a game on Wednesday which considering our plight is a lot more important than the cup ?

For us, this would be a standard Saturday Tuesday fixter where as Fulham get 24 hours less.

Completely agree with you though

As stated above, I reckon the bookie's think Fulham won't be that bothered/play a weakened side due to the Tuesday game and not really come and attack us...I hope thats the case anyhow because otherwise 'they should win'.

UTB!

Like Chelsea wouldn't be bothered in the final game of a season, when they are in the FA cup final the following week? That worked well didn't it?

I wouldn't price it too differently myself. I would have Fulham as marginal favourites, but I am always slightly pessimistic about our chances. I think the bookies are calling it correctly.
