StevieDay1983 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 FA Cup 1st Round weekend this coming weekend. One of the most exciting times of the year, particularly for those who love a punt on this competition. It's all about the handicaps and the accumulators here but will you manage to avoid the dreaded giant-killings that come each year? What are you guys thinking will be the shock results amongst these? Alfreton Town to beat Newport County stands out for me. Think Eastleigh could also give Swindon a tough game. @addpea, keen to see you venture out of the non-league section to give your thoughts on this!

Kenton Schweppes Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Addpea has gone to Australia for 3 weeks!! Some hefty prices on the away team here, be worth taking double chance on some of them. Have to have a further study. I agree Stevie on Eastleigh giving Swindon a run for their money though.

StevieDay1983 Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 Hahaha, yeah, I saw that after I posted this. Never mind. Got enough Football League and non-league punters around here to get some decent tips in. Agree about the double chance on the away teams. I remember 10-15 years ago where a lower-placed away side would very rarely get the win but the gap in talent between the tiers of the league system are shortening so they are more likely to happen. One away side that stands out for me is Brackley to potentially beat Gillingham. The Gills are at sixes and sevens right now without a win in 8 matches I think? The FA Cup will either be the respite from league action they need or a further punch to the gut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darran Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Right the bets I have had are Oxford -1, Lincoln -1, Yeovil and Walsall double, Dartford , spennymoor and a treble on Oxford , Lincoln and barrow. pulsar12, StevieDay1983, black_baar and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bromsgrovegreen Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I also fancy Oxford to take care of Merstham comfortably, the pitch is decent and Merstham try to play good football according to their manager which should suit Oxford down to the ground. Oxford minus 1 evens, Oxford htft evens Oxford to win both halves 17-10 Oxford minus 2 9-4 pulsar12 and Sir Puntalot 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are just as many sides that will destroy lower-placed sides as there are that will suffer a shock defeat. On a sidenote, how did your boys fair in the competition? I could check myself but I'd rather get a first-hand view point! Haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenton Schweppes Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Think I might give the FA Cup ties a swerve but Halifax at 4/1 looks a decent price, bang in form they are and could shock The Daggers. Scunthorpe at 2/1 Charlton, no way should Scunthorpe be priced so highly, unless they've said they are fielding a 2nd string there is no way they should be 2/1.
