Fulham 12/1 to win the Cup

last updated Tuesday 27th November 2001, 8:58 AM
If you like adding the excitement of a bet to that of following the Fulham then, in relation to the Worthington Cup, the place to go is Victor Chandler and BlueSquare who are offering the best price of 12/1 about Fulham lifting the Cup. (see prices below)

Unfortunately in recent years the Worthington Cup has come close to losing any prestige it might have had with many teams, Man Utd in particular, showing open contempt for the competition. The common policy, pursued by clubs focusing on European commitment or important league issues, of fielding weakened squads makes the Worthington a difficult proposition from the betting point of view.

However the weakened team syndrome helps mid-table Premiership squads and they tend to take the competition more seriously because of their real chance of getting into Europe.

From Fulham's point of view the club is still very much focussed on the mission to establish itself as a Premiership club so the Worthington may still not be a huge priority. However winning or losing against other Premiership opposition would affect morale for the Premiership so there will have to be a determination to win that could carry Fulham to the final four games away.

Latest prices for the Worthington Cup show Fulham at 8/1 with the Tote and 12/1 with each of Victor Chandler and BlueSquare. These prices will of course be smaller once we have dumped Spurs out of the competition.
