It's always hailed as one of the best weekends in the football calendar but the 3rd Round of the FA Cup is an absolute minefield for us punters.
It kicks-off tonight when the haves and have-nots meet at the County Ground where Swindon Town host English champions Manchester City. Swindon faced an uncertain future in the summer and just two weeks before the season started had just six first team players so a live FA Cup tie will be a welcome boost to the club's coffers.
There'll be no Pep Guardiola on the sidelines for City and we can expect some fringe players to get a run out but that won't make League Two's Swindon's task any easier and it's a surprise to see them as short as 10/1 – Only two weeks ago Newcastle United were 12/1 to win at home to City. In turn, that makes he 2/9 on the away win look a bit of value for big hitters.
Best bet could be to focus on the half-time markets where the bookies are a bit more generous. The first half Asian goal line is se at 1.5, which pays 1.900 but City -1.0 on the half-time asian market pays 2.100.
In France, Marseille should be succesful against Bordeaux who have conceded 21 in their last eight Ligue 1 matches. As should Bayern Munich at home to struggling Borussia Monchegladbach who were winless in their last five before the winter break (D1 L4), conceding 14 in the process. The Bayern / Marseille double pays 11/10.

- Man City -1.0 on 1st Half Asian Handicap 2.100 (Be365)

Forgot to Post small but of reasoning.
3 red cards in the past 2 matches between the 2 sides.
Refferee has given out 33 yellows and 3 reds in his last 9 games.
Also both to score at 4/5 looks a not bad shout as in bordaeux’s last 11 its landed 10 but decided I think cards look better.

No joy with Roma last night surprising given all the players missing.
Man City have 7 first team players islotaing with COVID and have confirmed they are playing their kids, hence the prices reflective in market
Price reflection? 14/1 To 7/1
city have 12 players with first team experience availible for tonights game, some first team players, some second team.
Thats according to the coach who will take charge tonight.
Bayern, marseille, trabzonspor all win and over 1.5 goals in match 3/1
I’d recommend Marseille for any accas anyone is doing today. Bordeaux have half their squad out.
Bayern and Bordeaux having covid crisis. On the following if both games survive postponement

Over 1 card each team 10/1 Bet365
Worth a punt considering City should be fielding a few youngsters tonight .
Swindon Town v Manchester City:
Both teams to score.
Each team over 1 card.
Each team over 3 corners.
55/1 @ William Hills on your odds specials.
Surely worth a pound of anyone’s money.
Absolutely ???
Exactly the same bet on Bet365 is 66/1
It pays to shop around & Bet365 seems to have far better odds on the cards market than anyone else for this match.

Both teams to score is 11-8 at HILLS ?.
Probably means city fielding a strong line up…..
FYI just heard on sky sports news Leicester only have 7- 9 first team players available for tomorrow’s game against Watford. They include vardy, iheanacho and daka… May be worth a quid or 2 on Watford or Watford DC or btts .. something to keep an eye on…
Vardy, daka and iheanacho are out injured*
Rob Hunt 6/1 @bet365
Did a little research and seems that the price shall be lower for this one. Darren England is not prone to show cards in cup matches, so that might be the reason. Still will take a gamble here.
Oh, and that’s Swindon vs ManC game. :)
No luck with the gamble. Swindon was way too disciplined today. ?

Louis reed to get booked in the Swindon game, he plays in the middle and loves to get stuck in… Got booked in the other 2 FA cup games leading up to this game.
Good luck

Smaller side bets
Over 2.5 match goals 11-8
Btts and over 2.5 goals 9-5.
*** Amorebieta seen btts in all 11 home games, including the top 3 sides almeria (last time out), vallodolid and eibar ***.
Tenerife are 4th.
They have seen btts in 20 of last 23 home games in total
Reverse fixture in October
Tenerife 2 amorebieta 1
Amorebieta won the corner count 9-5 at this game which shows how they play.
Tenerife generally score and have a lot of shut outs on their record but I can’t ignore amorebieta’s home scoring record.
Prediction 1-1 or 1-2
????????????????
Thanks big boss btts 27 min

Cheers guys ?.
Naps a winner which is always pleasing, no side bets though ?.
Unreal again elvis ?
changed my mind on a scorer bet going for this as they do like a red in it………….

Man City HT/FT

Marseille Double Chance
Ligue 1 – Bordeaux v Marseille
As others have pointed out, this fixture has a history of some drama and the ref has already sent off a few Marseille players this season so am on that path:
Red card @ 7/2 (NAP)
Marseille red card @ 17/2
Free bet punt – both teams red card @ 75/1 (boosted)
All with Paddy Power
Red card / penalty @ 7/1 with WH also
Not the best game. Should’ve been at least a penalty late on but all bets down ❌
