Nor will a league championship, however well the club has played across the season.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTake a hypothetical selection accepted at 12/1. After a convincing win, you might see the same club offered at 8/1, but your earlier bet still has 12/1 attached. A less favourable draw could send the new price the other way.

It brings clubs from different leagues together without Premier League or EFL sides entering later.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe names can look similar on a busy football page. The FA Cup, FA Vase and EFL Trophy are other competitions, each with its own field.

A team coming through qualifying may therefore have several wins behind it before meeting a club just starting its campaign. Look at who those victories came against.
