Also like the look of Palace away at 5/1 and Wolves away at 4/1.

Thought so. They must have lost a bomb on that, too easy to rinse it. Bristol City let 2 bets down for a total of £110. 24 shots to 3 and they drew.

one of my personal betting rules (the other two are never do Italian football as it is corrupt and has let me down for my potential biggest 3 wins (one which was 7k), and never bet on away teams) is to never bet on Man City.

In 2 seasons been let down 9 times by them solely, for a total of 600 odd quid possible winnings

Anyone having a nibble on Bradford to qualify at 7/4? I've already got £50 on at 5/4. Trying to weigh up just how much I'd pay to ensure we'll go through, against how much a day at Wembley will cost me if we do make it.

Skybet getting flak for welching on bets

If that was Paddy Power they would have paid out and smiled the advertising.

Exactly this. I expect a lot of people had a bet that wouldn't have bothered otherwise, because of the better odds, so they've still taken a hit from the fcuk up.

Think it's more the fact when we make mistakes ie wrong bet they wouldn't cancel - but they can do what they like when they do.

Agree though- Trader obviously didn't realise the away goal rule and compared with other bookmakers they then re-priced accordingly
