What they're saying, is that if you bet £100 you'll lose a £100 🙃. Unfortunatley, they've withdrawn and rested most of their key players for their run in, and they've therefore got nearly a full squad with which to prepare for the opening matches. They've played the game very cynically (as Arteta does) - but it sadly means they'll be ready and well prepared for saints, whilst we're missing key players (scienza, Downes, and stephens) and others are still away on international duty (manning, azaz, Charles, Larin etc). The kind of cup magic we need doesn't happen when the big clubs don't play by the same rules as the rest of us - sorry to be glum/pessimistic.
