Real Football Man All of the Football, All of the time
After the international hiatus it is now time to once again ask ourselves the question as to whether or not the SkyBet Price Boost can make you rich or not. The barren run has continued and fingers crossed we can see a reversal of fortune this weekend
Just under a fortnight ago the treble on offer was this
Newcastle to beat Bournemouth
Southampton to beat Burnley
Sheffield United to beat Hull
The odds were a generous 7/1 and to be honest with those three picks there were going to have to be, truth be told I was not confident going into the afternoon with that treble if anyone was going to let me down it was to be Southampton.
But as it turns out Newcastle did me no favours either as they conceded a late goal to Bournemouth which saw Eddie Howe’s men earn all three points on Tyneside. Sheffield United came good with Leon Clarke scoring four goals against Hull but as we know 1 out of 3 is simply not good enough.
So let’s have a look at what it has done in terms of the ongoing stats.
Price Boosts Bet On – 11
Money Placed – £55
Price Boosts Won – 2
Total Winnings – £32.50
Profit – Minus £17.50
Win Rate – 18.1%
So now I’m £17.50 down, this is not a good scenario. I can afford another six straight losses before reinvestment.
