FA Cup: how our tips work
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 what we think is the most likely result. When the favourite is only just ahead, our advice is double chance.
- The coloured 1 – X – 2 bar shows how likely we think each outcome is, from a home win through a draw to an away win.
- Fair odds mean 1 divided by the probability. A bookmaker offering more than the fair odds could be good value, though this is never a guarantee.
Completed matches are in the results, the remaining rounds in the fixture list and the top scorers in the scorers ranking.
