FA Cup: the method behind our predictions

FA Cup (England): before every match we compare the odds of several bookmakers and use them to derive our tip and the estimated probability of a 1, X or 2 result.

  • The tip is the outcome we think most probable. Where the favourite has only a narrow edge, we suggest double chance instead.
  • The coloured 1 – X – 2 bar gives our estimated chance of each outcome: home win, draw or away win.
  • Fair odds are simply 1 divided by the probability. A bookmaker's price above the fair odds may mean value, yet value never guarantees a winning bet.

Completed matches are in the results, the remaining rounds in the fixture list and the top scorers in the scorers ranking.

FA Cup: frequently asked questions

FA Cup: which games have we predicted?

The next predicted game is Huddersfield – Exeter City (Sat 7 Nov · 15:00).

FA Cup: how do we choose our tips?

Our starting point is the odds of several bookmakers: we take out the margin and average what is left. The tip is meant as information.

How do I read the 1 – X – 2 bar?

The coloured bar gives our estimated chances, where 1 stands for a home win, X for a draw and 2 for an away win.

What are fair odds?

Fair odds are 1 divided by our estimated probability for the outcome. A bookmaker paying more than that may offer value, but no bet is ever a sure thing.

FA Cup: what is the commonest scoreline?

Over the seasons listed, 1–1 has come up more than any other score, in 11% of games.

Can a prediction guarantee a winning bet?

No. The predictions are meant as information and offer no guarantee of winning. You must be 18 or over to bet, so gamble responsibly.
