I’m just putting together a fantasy betting game featuring English FA Cup and League Cup (and Milk Cup), but I’m having difficulty finding out the historical odds. I’ve tried the most popular sites but they don’t go back anywhere near as far enough.
i’d just appreciate your help in finding sites where I can find out the odds or if any of you know what they were.
Discussing the betting odds for the FA Cup and League Cup from '78 to '88 is a delightful trip down memory lane! Betting back then was a whole different ball game compared to today. 3.
The same level of info or accessibility wasn't there, and people had a strong connection with their local bookies and newspapers.
One thing to remember is that bookies Casinos want to keep you. They set the odds to ensure they come out on top in the long run. Back then, without all the modern data and insights, people often bet based on gut feelings and local knowledge. It was more about having a feel for the teams and the game.
