Victory over Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup (2007/08)

Rochdale, then playing in League 2 (fourth division), faced Nottingham Forest, a League 1 (third division) club that was considered the clear favourite. About 5,000 spectators gathered at Spotland Stadium, and few expected the modest club to put up a fight.

The match began with both teams playing cautiously, but Rochdale gradually took the initiative. In the 68th minute, striker Adam Le Fondre scored the decisive goal, sending the ball into the net after a precise pass from deep in the field. Nottingham Forest tried to fight back, but Rochdale's defence held firm, securing a sensational 1-0 victory. The odds for a win were 4.50-5.00, which attracted the attention of players betting on the underdog.

It is known that one fan from Manchester bet £100 on Rochdale to win at odds of 4.80. His winnings amounted to £480, which was a significant sum at the time.

Draw with Tottenham in the FA Cup (2018)

Another landmark match for Rochdale took place on 18 February 2018 in the fifth round of the FA Cup against Tottenham, one of the Premier League giants. The game at Spotland attracted a lot of attention, as Rochdale were in League One at the time and Tottenham were fighting for a place in the Champions League. The odds for a win were as high as 15.00, and for a draw around 7.00, making bets on any positive outcome for the hosts extremely risky but potentially lucrative.

Tottenham took the lead in the 45th minute thanks to a goal from Lucas Moura, but Rochdale did not give up. In the 65th minute, Ian Henderson equalised with a shot from a corner kick. The tension mounted, and in added time, in the 93rd minute, Steve Davis scored an incredible goal to give Rochdale a sensational 2-2 draw. This result forced the teams to play a replay at Wembley, where Tottenham eventually won 6-1.

The draw was a real triumph for the fans and those who took a chance on the underdog. One local resident reportedly bet £50 on a draw at odds of 7.50, winning £375.

Success against Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup (2018)

The same 2017/18 season brought another cup sensation. In the fourth round of the FA Cup, Rochdale faced Wigan Athletic, the League One champions that year. The match, played on 27 January 2018, ended in a 1-0 victory for Rochdale. The only goal was scored by Ian Henderson in the 53rd minute, converting a one-on-one after a mistake by the Wigan defenders.

Wigan were considered favourites with odds of around 1.50 to win, while Rochdale's chances were estimated at 6.00-7.00. The underdog's victory came as a surprise, and bets on it brought significant winnings. One fan reportedly bet £200 on Rochdale to win at odds of 6.50, winning £1,300. This match cemented Rochdale's reputation as a team capable of surprises and attracted the attention of those looking for high odds in cup competitions.
