Default My FA Cup trading bet.

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.

Individual R3 Games

£70 Lay Liverpool @ 2.06
£35 Lay Spurs @ 1.89
£38 Lay Bolton @ 1.80
£25 Lay Everton @ 2.22
£40 Lay Portsmouth @ 1.75
£22 Lay Man City @ 2.32
