Tonight's betting

[Uncle Leo]

Big spread on tonight's game in the Racing Post. Headline advice is to back the draw at 12/5 (3.40) with Coral, VCbet or totesport. Oddly they have an asterisk next to Peter Clarke as 'likely penalty taker'.

No surprise to see Col Ewe Scum fan Andy Totham tip up Donny at 11/10 (2.10) in his Sun column today. :punch:

Best price you'll get on us to win inside 90 minutes is 14/5 (3.80) with William Hill or VCbet.

Best prices to qualify for the final:

Doncaster 4/7 (1.57) - Ladbrokes (keeping to our policy in recent years of keeping Southend on our side)

Southend 6/4 (2.50) - widely available

To be fair, he tipped us to win overall before the 0-0

So I make that us being the longest odds away win of any of the second legs so far. Not surprising really when 4 or our 5 away games against the others in the top six finished 1-3, 1-4, 1-3 and 1-4. :(

He supports Col Ewe. Who said anything about being fair? ;)

I'm going to stick a tenner on Donny for tonight I think. That way I have something to console myself with either way.

Good point, well made.

Ladbrokes go 40/1

Ladbrokes go 40/1

Sir Adam is always worth a bet. Think I will have a few quid on him for first goalscorer. Any idea how much he is US before I get down to the bookies later to check out the prices?

Sir Adam is 25/1 at Ladbrokes. Seems to be the best price for him as far as I can tell. :)

Jesus H - that is good indeed. I think I will bite their hand off for that.

Cheers Chris. :)

 

[Boreham Shrimper]

OK, against my better judgment I now have £10 @ 13/5 on us to win and £10 at Sir Adam to score first @ 25/1. :)

Blimey, that is a bit big. I'd go 16s, maybe 18s.

peter clarke at 33s with will hill... if he is definitely the pen taker i might put a quid on him and a quid on franno with a fiver on donny

What are the odds of the game going to pens, this is what I think will happen, then its a lottery who wins.

You can get 8/1 on your lot to win on penalties and 9/1 on Southend (Ladbrokes).

Uxbridge, I was just wondering what the odds of the game going to pens?

Probably about the same as the scores being level after 120 minutes ;)

We're not offering that as such - and I can't find any firms that are - but if you back both those outcomes you're effectively getting odds of about 15/4.
