Rut Posted 26 January, 2011 Posted 26 January, 2011 I was thinking I'd find something like 16/1 on a Saints win. Nowhere near that is available though. Best widely available odds out there are: 4/9 Man Utd 7/2 Draw 7/1 Saints Some bookies even have as at 6/1. To put it into perspective Villa are currently 10/1 to win at Old Trafford next week and Everton are 7/1 to win at Arsenal. I guess the bookies expect a weakened Man Utd team - hence our odds being not that big. Anyone putting any money on the game? I probably will still have a sneaky fiver on Saints @ 7/1 (just in case...). For those doubters I guess you will be lumping on Man Utd at 4/9 then? Seems like quite a good price actually.

There was a bit of 9.2 on there (now gone). Come Sat there will be a lot more traded so I expect bigger odds will be around... I honestly thought I'd get 20/1 somewhere. Man Utd ain't lost all season and after losing to Leeds last year I don't think they will take the game too lightly. Praps the bookies are just trying to make the odds match the 1976 Cup Final - they are similar at the mo.
Whitey Grandad Posted 26 January, 2011 Posted 26 January, 2011 Shouldn't that be 'odds-on to beat Man Utd.' ?

I think Fergie will rest quite a few, and if they line up with neville, evans and fabio at the back you might be wishing you took the 7s as all of that will have gone...
dune Posted 26 January, 2011 Posted 26 January, 2011 7/1 is rubbish. We were 4/1 when beat them in the Premier league last. I know this because i collected £50.
dickyhale Posted 26 January, 2011 Posted 26 January, 2011 (edited) 7/1 is a fair price with PP had a sneaky tenner on them and a daft tenner on Saints to win 1-0 @22/1 Yes l know a fool and his money http://www.oddschecker.com/football/english/fa-cup/southampton-v-manchester-united/winner Edited 26 January, 2011 by dickyhale

I do not bet on Saints anymore.... they have been know to let me down just a couple of times in the past.

Was that the Sunday game? I remember that cos I had a score on Saints at 4/1. Only because the day before I was at a Totton game and this old geezer kept saying 'I've got a feeling' (quite a few times) that Saints would win the next day. After guzzling a few pints I got that feeling as well. Wish I'd put a ton on instead (but sadly wasn't that p#ssed by the time I put the bet on). Anyway - yeah we were an ok Prem team at 4/1. Now 2 leagues down and we are only up to 7/1.
Ekelund24 Posted 26 January, 2011 Posted 26 January, 2011 Man U starting -2 at 3/1 is a good shout depending on the team but Lambert (13/5) and Guly (3/1) to score anytime seem good bets
Saint_clark Posted 26 January, 2011 Posted 26 January, 2011 We were 7-1 to win in '76 as well...good omen IMO
Junction 9 Posted 26 January, 2011 Posted 26 January, 2011 Odds on? That's mental. Won't be bothering with them at those odss even if Fergie does put the kids out.

I think it'll be a close game.
