Football Tuesday 17th

Duckstabber · Jan 17, 2006

Only one pick today from the FA Cup:

Leeds Utd pk v Wigan Athletic, 1.86 @ Mansion

I got this price earlier today, the line is now Leeds -0.25 2.00 which I wouldn't play given the low total. But if you can find level ball anywhere, take it. Leeds are strong at Elland Road (8-3-2, 22-12) while Wigan miss a few important players.

I won't count this pick in my record since the price (as far as I know) has moved...

Pinnacle still has this at pk 1.709 (which is -141 in American odds).

1.709 is a little too low imo - but better than -0.25 2.00. Good luck with your under play!

No, that's Leeds on a 3-way line (1X2). In other words, you're betting on Leeds to win in regular time - extra time doesn't count). 2.45 is available at Mansion and 2.40 is widely available.

Yes, a tie is a loss.

A tie is a loss at +2.37 on the 3-way line. However, if you are able to get them at pk (stands for pick) then ties are counted as a push and a win is still a win.
