Sunderland v Swansea - Did We Beat The Odds?
So are we still returning a profit in our beat the odds feature that is running through the whole season after the Swans 1-1 draw at Sunderland on Saturday?
It has often been said during our time in the Premier League that we upset the odds on a regular basis so we thought that this season we would test the theory to see whether we do actually achieve that.
We are not planning on making huge stakes, just a simple £1 on each of three separate bets for each Premier League game that we play during the course of the season.
The three bets per game will be
* £1 on the Swans to win
* £1 on first goalscorer (determined by entries into our prediction league)
* £1 on the correct score (again taken by entries into our prediction league)
So this weekend we lost two bets (the Swans to win and the score that was backed at 3-0 Swansea) but the good news is we had a 9-2 return on the first goal of the game that was scored by Bafetimbi Gomis.
So our season tally now looks like this
What to read next:
Brave Swans in memorable game at Carrow Road It was a pulsating game to watch and very much one of my favourite away games of the season. The Swans looked an entirely different side to that we saw at Middlesbrough when it is clear a catalyst for commitment was agreed behind the scenes at Swansea City. To a man every player grafted and
wore the shirt with pride. To see the players really acknowledge the Swans support at Carrow Road this afternoon was emotional.
Swansea reject Cullen contract and trigger one year option Liam Cullen has had his request for a new contract dismissed by Swansea City after discussions broke down last week. The lowest paid ‘senior’ player at the club ( he is twenty five) asked for a better contract increasing his £3,500 a week to around £7,000 a week over three years.
Sam Parker hasn’t turned down a new deal, he is willing to negotiate He was a revelation for the Swans for the few games he played this season, and now it emerges Sam Parker has ‘turned down’ a new Swansea City contract. News is thin on the ground, and some of it just incorrect as he looks to involve his representatives in some further negotiations. Plus his current contract runs for two more years.
Swansea City : The vision is clearer, so Jamal Lowe ? There were some worrying moments for the Swans yesterday, on three occasions mistakes from playing out from the back nearly saw the home side score. And is there now a case for Jamal Lowe to be offered a contract at Swansea ?
