Round 2 of the League Cup is often a graveyard for newly promoted Premier League sides who only have survival on their minds.
After a thrilling 4-3 victory in the Premier League on Saturday it may sound like madness to oppose Bournemouth here but the price on the upset is simply too steep.
Hartlepool (17/2 Bet365) enjoyed a dazzling end to last season to secure their League Two status and they have carried on where they left off by winning four of their first five matches of 2015-16 in all competitions.
Eddie Howe is set to rest his star men with top flight survival the only prize worth fighting for. Many Cherries fans might even welcome an early exit and we can agree with that sentiment with a giant killing offering big winnings.
