I've gone for Reading and Wolves in a double. I hope we'll be too good for Luton.

Schards#2 Betfair: Luton to win in normal time - 8.0

Luton are a driven team desperate for success in this tournament. Reading are not.

That is a sensational price.



where did you get 8's?


also think they have bigger concerns than this cup.....

I had one of those embarrassing "I'm a geek aren't I?" moments last night when I was LOLing about someone on HobNob who'd got eights on a Luton win.

Must remember to blame "someone at work" next time.

I have lumped a three figure sum on Russia, with the plan being to then re-invest any winnings on a lay multiple of England and Eire

I think ROI will win again and I see 7/5 (Jennings Bet) as a price worth taking, I will also back Russia @ 3/10.

3/10 was gone (into 1/4) so did h/t Russia win @ 4/6 instead. Russia were winning 1-0 at h/t and now Wales have equalised... :lol:

Missed my bet on Ukraine so c'mon Kazakhstan :lol:

I am far from being a Man Utd fan (about as far as you could possibly get) but their current price of 11/4 looks a real value bet to me especially with Chelsea as short as evens.
I could never back them and I think that luck very much went their way last season but for fans that like a bet this price is generous.
