Real Football Man All of the Football, All of the time
It is time to once again ask the question as to whether or not the SkyBet price boost can make you rich or not, the answer to that over the past few weeks has been not it cannot and with Christmas on the horizon I will not be buying an abundance of gifts for my loved ones off of the back of my winnings.
Anyway I digress slightly as it is time to reflect on how I fared last weekend. Going into Saturday SkyBet were kind enough to offer this treble ensemble:
Arsenal to beat Newcastle
Chelsea to beat Southampton
Watford to beat Huddersfield
And if those three matches were to come good I would get a 4/1 return on my winnings, giving me £25 for my efforts. Not a ground breaking return but quite simply a win would have been nice. I say would have because again I did not come up trumps.
This time it was Watford that let me down after their home defeat to Huddersfield, talk about a coupon buster, as we now know that two out of three is simply not good enough therefore it was another defeat in this slightly worrying streak.
So let’s have a look at what it has done in terms of the ongoing stats.
Price Boosts Bet On – 16
Money Placed – £80
Price Boosts Won – 3
Total Winnings – £32.50
Profit – Minus £47.50
Win Rate – 18.75%
That does not make for good reading does it, I am now more than 50% down as a return on my investment. Not only that but I can only afford six more losses before I reinvest and that ladies and gentlemen in the last thing I need to be doing right now.
