Hedonist Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 These tournaments look interesting, they may become freerolls, I think the score of 3-2 for Liverpool is unlikely but possible but the Arsenal one looks good.

Masterplan Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Re: Will Arsenal win? i'd go for the liverpool one over the arsenal one purely on an odds basis. west ham are going to lose almost certainly. whereas barca will be a tough cookie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The attitude of Liverpool fans, the press and most of the 'clever money' is that liverpool will win on Saturday, however, the preassure is on the favourites, West Ham have nothing to lose, and, as a cup final rather than a qualifier you have to win, that's what makes finals final. Without a doubt the support makes a difference, and the support from West Ham will actually be stronger and the desire from the players will be too. Expect a good game, and, in poker terms, the pot odds are slightly better for West Ham. If you look at previous finals(not just the FA cup), and the way the scoring has gone, you'll find that the half time/full time generaly comes out as winning/draw (how many times do we see penalties being played). Along similar lines Arsenal are the underdogs in Wednesday's match and having knocked out both Real Madrid and Juventus can't be considered easy meat (they have also gone through the compettition without conceding a goal). Now taking off my red coloured glasses (with white sleeves of course) I'd say that (bearing in mind the pot odds) that there is a good possibility of one of these results coming off (otherwise, everyone that does a score predictor in the premiership for 6 games would win every week). The problem with the FA cup score is it's an actual score and not just a win (that's got to give away how this match is being viewed by the bookies). The Arsenal attempt is being seen as a joke against the mighty Barca but in reality it will probably go to a 1-1 or 2-2 draw and end up being a penalty shoot out - who's got the cleanest sheet in Europe? and who would you back under those circumstances? I'd actually bet on one of either West Ham or Arsenal winning (and will do because the odds are favourable) but the fact the liverpool/West Ham game reqires a specific result can pretty much write off any added value to that tourney, where as the other on is a coin toss and a 50/50 chance on 3k added value is worth a shot. Am I talking too much?:D :D :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedonist Posted May 11, 2006 Author Share Posted May 11, 2006 Re: Will Arsenal win? I have just checked the odds on betfair, a 3-2 score for liverpool is 43-1 Arsenal to win are less than 2-1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
