Skybet have absolutely had everyone’s pants down with that Asensio boost. 5/1 for a SOT in big letters, evens in the small print, then he doesn’t even start and cash out is suspended.

Came in.... but Sky definitely have inside info with these boosts.
 
Will clearly be in their terms if they void or wait to see if he appears as sub.
Of course, still scummy though. If he’d have come on in injury time they’d have taken everyone’s money. Also I’m sure they’ve voided these before when the player hasn’t started, like literally last weekend. Haaland I think?

Got lucky. I generally try not to bet on SOTs as they’re subjective apparently and they just hide behind opta.
 
I can assure you. They do not.

It was also a better price for 2+ SOT on every other operator, pretty much.

You work for Sky betting?

I wasn't really referring to Asensio so much either, more their 1SoT weekly boosts they used to do.... and them magically picking Salah or Kane the one weekend they start on the bench etc. Their odds are always hysterically bad, I'd not use them for much.

In the industry.

They lose money on the SOT boosts. They are loss leaders.
 
Skybet are shit BTW. Before I get accused of being on their payroll. Huge margins and basically a marketing firm not a bookie. Just some of the stuff spouted is tosh!
 
Obviously, but still, picking the most obvious players in the sole week they don't start is insanely fishy, and yes, given you don't work for them, I'll continue to believe they have inside knowledge..... and still pick them anyway.

Since I'm pretty certain even when Kane, Salah etc were the choices, they'd mostly always cash in from their cameos anyway :lol:
