Ten bet sfor FA Cup weekend

Here’s a few of the weirder and tastier punts for this FA Cup weekend. Get on!

1 HAVING A BALL
ONLY one Premier League team bit the dust in the FA Cup third round – QPR at the hands of Sheffield United.

A maximum of 13 top-flight teams can make it through to round five and bet365 go 14-1 they all go through – including Manchester United, who play League Two Cambridge tonight.

It’s 10-11 that ten or 11 Prem teams go on.

If you back the top ten in the Prem to WIN this weekend – Chelsea, Manchester City, Southampton, Man United, Arsenal, Spurs, West Ham, Liverpool, Swansea and Stoke – it pays 88-1 at Paddy Power using their online 20 per cent bonus on winning accas.

Take out West Ham at Bristol City, Swansea at Blackburn and Stoke at Rochdale and its 21-2 with the same firm.

2 FA CUP GOALS
TITANBET have a decent market betting on the highest-scoring of the Saturday games.

Chelsea v Bradford is 4-1 fave with Man City v Middlesbrough and Liverpool v Bolton 11-2 shots, Derby v Chesterfield and Spurs v Leicester 8-1, Cardiff v Reading and Sunderland v Fulham 10-1, Blackburn v Swansea and Southampton v Crystal Palace 11-1, Birmingham v WBA 14-1 and Preston v Sheffield United 16-1.

They also punt on the number of goals in the Saturday FA Cup games going 11-2 for under 29, 6-5 for between 29 and 34 and 15-8 for more than 34.

Spurs v Leicester has a definite shout at 8-1 for most goals.

3 STRIKER LIGHT
WITH just 11 goals in 22 Premier League games, Aston Villa’s frontline have shown they couldn’t hit a barn door with, well, a barn really.

888sport offer 11-2 that their next goal – they play Bournemouth in the FA Cup on Sunday — will be scored by a Villa defender.

4 MISSING YA
ALREADY Manchester City look like they’re missing inspirational midfielder Yaya Toure, who is out on duty at the Africa Cup of Nations.

888sport go 6-1 that City fail to win a league game until the Ivory Coast star returns. (Bet is void if he plays for City before February 7).

5 THE FAMOUS FOUR-PLAY
THE Tots’ Tips Four-Play roared in again last week at Titanbet’s enhanced 8-1 following on from a 21-1 stonker the week before. Hope you were on them!

This week it’s Watford to bash Blackpool, Wolves to choke Charlton, MK Dons to biff Barnsley and Spurs to lash Leicester at an enhanced 11-2 with Titanbet. And it could be even bigger!

6 AWAYS
IF you’re looking for a bit of fun playing away then how about United at Cambridge, Southend at Portsmouth, Luton at Cheltenham, Wycombe at Mansfield and Arsenal at Brighton?

(Perm in ten trebles, five 4-folds, one 5-fold).

7 BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE AND DRAWS
THE perennial hardest nut to crack.

We’re going for Blackburn v Swansea, Oxford v Exeter, Norwich v Brentford, Northampton v Newport, Cardiff v Reading, Bristol City v West Ham (perm in six 5-folds, one 6-fold).

On the draws front we’re chasing another 40-1 jackpot treble with Wigan v Huddersfield, Colchester v Leyton Orient and AFC Wimbledon v Accrington.

8 THE SIX-UP
NORWICH, Watford, MK Dons, Yeovil, Tranmere. Wycombe Perm in six 5-folds, one 6-fold. The 6-fold acca alone pays 38-1.

9 FA CUP YANKEE
MAKE a B-line for in-form Birmingham to KO West Brom, table-topping Bristol City to stun West Ham, Spurs to let loose on Leicester and Championship leaders Bournemouth to annihilate Aston Villa (if they want to).

Or have the Cherries got their eyes on bigger prizes — promotion?

10 AND FINALLY...
IF THERE is to be a big upset this weekend how about Bolton at Liverpool?

The Reds might just have one eye on the second-leg Capital One semi against Chelsea on Tuesday while Wanderers have lost just one of their last 12. They will have huge support and are 10-1 at Titanbet to win and 13-5 at Coral with a goal start.
