using this thread to run a trading idea on the cup. based on teams with a chance of success, but who could easily fall at the first hurdle.
the perfect scenario is a draw in their game today/tomorrow.
never tried this before so putting up here to try and avoid errors, as i would look silly, and to hopefully obtain some thoughts on the idea, and any advice as to future bets and lays as the event unfolds.
in a perfect world, others (ilunga

) could do the same bet with different teams and we can see how we all do.
Outright Market
£40 Liverpool @ 8.4 (296)
£18 Spurs @ 17.5 (297)
£12.50 Bolton @ 25 (300)
£9 Everton @ 34 (297)
£9 Portsmouth @ 34 (297)
£6 Man City @ 50 (294)
total staked on outrights = £94.50
then the plan is to recoup the stakes as they progress, with hopefully each of the teams having some draws along the way.
