Man Utd at home - 1.25 - 130 may be the lock of the year.

Madejski says he has two first teams at Reading

</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>Reading chairman John Madejski has defended his manager's decision to rest several first-team regulars for the FA Cup tie against Manchester United.
Royals boss Steve Coppell has raised eyebrows by sticking by his policy of using fringe players in the Cup. "When you have a squad of 38 players you need to give everybody a chance," Madejski told BBC Five Live. "Just because we happen to be playing United, to leave out the players that have got us so far would not be right."

The article said ManU will also rest players. Will that have an impact on the game?

The Man Utd and Reading squads cannot be compared. Please bear in mind Utd are at home in a cup competition they LOVE to win in Manchester and Rooney is on fire right now. If they start Rooney, Ronaldo and Scholes, which I really think they will, against Readings FIRST team I would take this bet. Against Readings fringe squad this is a no brainer.

Grab this line before it gets to - 1.75.

IS the line right now probably already assumes Man Utd were going to rest a few starters but it is news if Reading is going to put a B team out.

Man U has good depth anyway, the dropoff from the starters to the bench is minimal.

thanks for the headsup Joey.

HPark1 · Feb 16, 2007

Well Rooney is suspended and Van Der Saar is out but Ronaldo will probably play.

I don't hate soccer, but I also don't hate money. Winbet may be a drunk sometimes, but the old fart knew what he was saying when you can't beat the football market. It's just too damn sharp.

As for this game, taking Man United -1.5 is great value. But I suck at capping the sport. Good Luck.

I had great success at the recent World Cup and U19 championships.... but I'm wary of betting solely on injuries/rest. Anyone remember the White Sox resting all their starters and still sweeping the Indians?

Yeah, this is what every other punter in the world thinks too. Books giving away money this weekend? I doubt it. If anything, I'd go the other way.
