Real Football Man All of the Football, All of the time
It is that time of the week again when we discover whether the SkyBet Price Boost can make you rich, after an F.A. Cup hiatus this is the first article in a fortnight on this subject and to be honest the news is not particularly good as we are in the middle of a particularly barren run.
Last weekend I was offered the following treble
Chelsea to beat Leicester
Newcastle to beat Swansea
Wolves to beat Barnsley
And in a rare outcome, absolutely none of them come in as a winner. 1 or 2 would have been nice but at the end of the day that would have still not been enough as obviously you need to get 3 to get you over the line. Truth be told I have forgotten when the last win was as the statistics start to look bleak.
So let’s have a look at what it has done in terms of the ongoing stats.
Price Boosts Bet On – 20
Money Placed – £100
Price Boosts Won – 3
Total Winnings – £12.50
Profit – Minus £87.50
Win Rate – 15%
So as things stand I can afford two more losses before having to reinvest but truth be told if that is the case then it may well be a case of cutting the safety cord and calling it a day, as you can see I am leaking money at the moment and it is going to take something miraculous to get into profit.
I would imagine something in the region of three consecutive wins will turn it around but that of course is easier said then done
