I got a £20 bet with west ham to win FA cup at 28/1, now the odds of liverpool winning the cup are with betfair 11/4...

its quite obvious pool will win it, so do i bet 250 on liverpool you think? and win £100, or risk not winning nothing for us to win and win £560?? what ya reckon?

has harry posted for a while ??????

anyway mate , i hope we are talking now

i would deffo cover your bet , by your post above i assume liverpool are 2/5 to win it. so yeh its money for nothing isnt it. you outlay £250 to either win £100 or your original £560 , cant lose , easy money

but how much should i bet

im so sure liverpool will win im tempted to stick 500 down and win 200 instead

and i aint just saying this but we can beat anyone on our day - like arsenal 3-2

£20 bet on west ham at 28/1 gives you £580
£500 bet on liverpool at 2/5 gives you £700

so if west ham win you make £60, if liverpool win you make £180

it all depends on how convinced you are that liverpool will win. After all its only a one off game.

what about this , you put £400 on liverpool at 2/5 then you either gain £160 off liverpool or £160 off west ham

I would stick it so you make the same profit whoever wins that way you can enjoy your team in the final whatever the outcome.

think i'll do 250 on pool'

what amount does everyone else think?

if you like the idea of winning £160 either way then £400 will do exactly that , but if youj want to have the chance of winning more then the only way you can attempt that is to go lower onliverpool and hope west ham win.

I'm all for the £400 , you then know that the day of the cup final you have £160 extra in your pocket.
