Nah, before the match kicked off, fancied it to be a draw. Had I placed the bet then watched the game I'd have been shitting it.

[/color] There will be no tips this weekend. The 3rd round of the Cup is not a good time to get involved and is bonus week for the bookies. Don't know the likely line ups or the motivation of the players/managers. That said i do like Gillingham at odds against to beat Stockport. Stockport have won only once at home and concede an average of two goals a game. Actually that will be my tip. £10 on that will keep me interested.[/quote] With my new found love of gambling I thought FA Cup week would be quids in. I put together a 6 team accumulator last night and got like 4 or 8 to 1 (can't remember which). It'd still be an idea if you put 10+ pounds on a bet but I don't wanna go there. It'd do my head in losing a tenner. Fuck that.

I couldn't imagine ever having enough money to do 50 sheets on a bet.
There's a character on another forum I go on. He was saying back in the 90's he had a grand on a dog that he had got his mate to put on. When it was coming last he lost it and run on the track and the race was called off.
His exact quote was "I took an absolute pasting but I got my bag of sand back" which still makes me smile
Respect to gamblers worldwide!

Fucking hell. If that's true then fair play to that guy. Although, not really, but it's a nice story.

I've put a couple of 20 quid bets and i must say every 20 quid bet i've put on has come off, i'm so certain about them, i think the last one was Chelsea beating Liverpool at the end of last season, it was so obvious at the time.

My greatest bed was backing Gallas to score first vs Chelsea a few years back
50/1 and stuck £2 on it at the time
Otherwise Dover to beat Gills at 7/1 (£10)
Might do a cheeky tenner this weekend

Gonna wait to see line Ups but
If Arsenal play a strong squad rotated side then i tip Arsenal -1 (i.e Arsenal to win by at least 2 goals), if they don't and play more kids then Arsenal and Over 2.5 goals and Both teams to score
Banker has to be Birmingham Millwall Under 2.5 goals, neither side conceed many goals.

And I realised I've never seen County even score against us there - so its all pointing to a County win

Neither do I tbh, it probably started when they had that disgusting 4-0 capitulation against Man Utd. I'd rather Arsenal won the Carling Cup - not just saying that cos we're in the semi's, been saying it for some years now. Anyway, with the recent fixture pileup he'll play a much changed team which wont be nearly as motivated as the Carling Cup teams of yore. I can't see Arsenal winning it at all.

Arsenal Line-up today: Szczesny, Eboue, Squillaci, Djourou, Gibbs, Denilson, Song, Rosicky, Arshavin, Chamakh, Bendtner
Bit strong, in it?
Stuck a sov on Bendter to score first and Arsenal to win 4-1.
