English Fa Cup Betting – The Basics
Centrebet's English FA Cup betting odds enable punters to bet on the world's oldest knockout football competition. Officially known as the Football Association Challenge Cup, the English FA Cup began life in 1872 when 15 teams, including Scottish amateur side Queen's Park, took part in its first running.
The tournament has grown substantially since then. Six hundred and eighty seven clubs will compete in the 2006 / 2007 English FA Cup, each dreaming of lifting aloft the famous trophy at Wembley Stadium in London's northern suburbs on May 19.
English Fa Cup Betting - Bet Types
The 2006 / 2007 English FA Cup kicks off with extra preliminary round matches on August 18. However, Centrebet will not offer any English FA Cup betting options, other than a book on the competition winner, until the first round proper takes place in the first week of November. You will have to search far and wide before finding a bookmaker that offers English FA Cup odds on games in rounds before the 48 English League One and Two teams become involved.
Centrebet issues English FA Cup betting odds on every match from round one to the final, with popular game markets including head to head, half-time/full-time double result and first goal scorer.
Centrebet increases its FA Cup match betting offerings as the tournament progresses, with a veritable feast of options on high-profile games at the business end of the tournament.
English Fa Cup Betting - Favourites For Season 2006 / 2007
Not since Tottenham's win in 1991 has a side other than England's five 2005-2006 Champions League representatives lifted aloft the Football Association Challenge trophy, with Arsenal (1993, 1998, 2002, 2003, 2005), Chelsea (1997, 2000), Everton (1995), Liverpool (1992, 2001) and Manchester United (1994, 1996, 1999, 2004) dominating the competition. Consequently, it makes sense not to look past the clubs at the top of Centrebet's English Premier League betting market.
