Want some FA Cup bets? Then you’ve come to the right place. The magic of the FA Cup is legendary all around the world, even in the modern era of Champions League dominance. The oldest cup competition that exists in football, there’s just something special about the FA Cup that refuses to die. Here at Yesbets we’ll bring you the latest FA Cup betting offers from the major UK bookmakers, bringing you more value from your FA Cup betting

The usual rules about form can be thrown out of the window for the FA Cup as there is a long history of shock upsets and giant-killing results and this is where some great FA cup betting offers can come in handy as a form of insurance. There are plenty of examples of clubs from lower leagues, or even non-league clubs, pulling off successive wins over opposition from higher ranked teams to put together a good cup run. And it’s fair to say that the fans love an underdog!

In 2007 non-league Chasetown knocked out Port Vale, a team placed five divisions higher than them, becoming the smallest ever team to reach the third round of the FA Cup. In 2016-2017, two non-league teams, Sutton United and Lincoln City put together phenomenal runs, beating opposition such as Leeds, Brighton and Hove Albion and Oldham Athletic. Lincoln went all the way to the quarterfinals, finally losing to Arsenal. Upsets such as these underline just why the FA Cup is still so magical, and why it’s loved by fans young and old. Of course betting on the underdog always feels like a big risk at the time, so it’s worth checking to see if you can grab any free FA Cup bets to place at big odds for a big win.

 

Quite apart from making thrilling viewing, the potential for shock results offers incredible opportunities for football betting. Follow the Yesbets hot football FA Cup tips to spot the minnows which are best-placed to topple their higher-ranked opposition!

FA Cup Betting Types

If you fancy a flutter on the FA Cup, you’ll find that not only are there are a huge number of free bets and hot deals, but plenty of different types of bets too. Whether you’re fairly new to football betting or have lots of experience under your belt, you’ll be able to find a suitable bet that sets your pulse racing. We’ve got offers on BTTS, right through to accumulator bets, so let’s have a look at some potential betting options for the FA Cup.

Some of the most popular FA Cups bets include:

FA Cup Winner

Possibly the most popular bet of them all and one that’s easily accessible to even the most casual football better. Everyone who loves the beautiful game has an opinion on who’s going to lift the FA Cup every year, so why not put a little bet onto back up your opinion?

The big clubs such as Man City, Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal all have great FA Cup pedigree but will they be the winner? They’ve certainly dominated the list of winners but there’s a healthy smattering of other clubs in there too. In 2012/2013 Wigan Athletic beat Manchester City in the final to hold the Cup aloft - the same season they were relegated from the Premier League. Who could possibly have predicted that?

The chances are that one of the big boys will be the winner but cup competitions provide a genuine opportunity for others to emerge victorious. If the draw falls in the right way, the big clubs could do everyone a favour and knock each other out, leaving the route to the final much clearer for a smaller club to take the honours.

FA Cup Outright Market

FA Cup Final

If you think that betting on the outright winner doesn’t offer enough variety, you could opt to bet on the two clubs that will reach the final instead. The list of defeated finalists is huge, so you should be able to pick up some very healthy odds on this bet, particularly if you enter the market early.

Some of the clubs in the final in recent years have included Stoke City, Hull, Aston Villa, Crystal Palace, Millwall and West Ham. Many of these clubs have experienced a tumultuous time in the league, but have outperformed themselves to reach the FA Cup Final. This is what makes predicting the finalists so tricky, but also very exciting. Place your bets early for the highest odds, but it’s a market you can enter at any time during the competition. The longer you wait, the shorter odds you’ll get so it’s a careful balancing act!

BTTS - Both Teams To Score

You don’t have to confine your betting to the final, there’s plenty of opportunities to bet on matches along the way. BTTS is an excellent option for a draw that you fancy to be high-scoring.

Spurs and Manchester United traditionally play attacking, free-flowing football and have a good record in the FA Cup. If they’re drawn against each other, you might decide that they’re both likely to score, and place a BTTS bet.

There are lots of different options with BTTS. You can choose this bet on its own, or combine it with a prediction of which team will win. This latter option will give you higher odds as it’s much harder to get right. If you want some inspiration, take a look at our free BTTS tips.

Correct Score

Similarly to BTTS, you can bet on the outcome of any FA Cup match but rather than just betting that they’ll both find the back of the net, you can predict a specific score. This might involve both teams scoring, or just one - the decision is entirely yours.

Score a Hat-Trick

Got a sneaking suspicion that Harry Kane is going to bang in a hat-trick? You’ll regret not backing your hunch if he bags three goals. Find the bookie offering the best odds for this type of bet by checking out our list of free bets and deals above. It might also be worth checking to see if Betfred are running Double Delight Hattrick Heaven for the game you are interested in. Simply place a bet on the first goalscorer and if they score 2, you get double odds and if they score 3, you get treble odds.

In-Play Betting

Given the nature of FA Cup games, it may be sensible to see how the game is panning out before placing your bet. If you see one of the lower ranked teams really going for it, you may still be able to get great odds on them to win. Also look out for some tasty in-play offers from the likes of 10bet, 888Sport and Betfred. All 3 like to run in-play betting offers for the FA Cup from time to time, especially in the latter stages of the competition.

Accumulators

With the FA Cup providing some shock results every season, accumulators featuring FA Cup games should be treated with care. If you are going to place an accumulator featuring FA Cup matches, then we’d definitely recommend placing it with a bookie that offers Acca insurance. Some of the best Acca insurance will give you your money back as a free bet if one leg lets you down on a 5-fold and that is certainly better than not having any insurance at all.

Ladbrokes also ran a promotion on FA Cup accas, where you received 5 free spins for every winning leg. It’s a slightly different take on an FA Cup offer and given the choice between Ladbrokes’ offer and Acca insurance, Acca insurance wins hands down.

We’ve got a page dedicated to accumulator bets, explaining what they are and how to place them. you can also take a look at our free accumulator tips for football where we provide our selections for today.

There’s lots of other ways to bet on the FA Cup; each bookie will have the odds listed so why not let yourself be inspired by what’s on offer? Use your expertise and knowledge, combined with our free tips to give yourself every chance of bagging your own winner.
