Game of two halves

The Road to Cheltenham 2022 Freebet Week 6 Summary

Week 6 was infinitely better than week 5 with a clean sheet as far as the qualifying bets go
Bet 1 Was Leeds v Liverpool on Monday 19th April and was BTTS “Yes” placed In-Play 22 minutes into the game at odds of 2.0 – Won £5.00
Bet 2 was a “Half Time/ Full Time” Bet in the Aston Villa v Man City game which again was placed at 2.0 on “Away/Away” which also won £5.00
Bet 3 was a SkyBet Special where they boosted Mo Salah to have 1+ shots on Target from 1/8 to Evens) – he scored in 3 minutes flat – Another fiver>
Bet 4 was tense. The Soccer Saturday Price Boost featured Watford, Barnsley, and Norwich all to win boosted from 5.0 to 7.0. Barnsley held on after scoring after 2 minutes right up until 98th minute where Rotherham had an unprecedented 16 shots of which 7 were on target. Never has my finger hovered over the cash out button as much 😰😱 My nerve however held and paid off with a £30.00 Profit
Bet 5 went back to good old nearly reliable BTTS “Yes” in the Reading v Swansea game getting 11/10 (2.1) making me another £5.50
This gave me a total Profit on the week as £50.50
On Sunday I stuck £5.00 on to get a matched free bet on the Man City v Spurs game just before half time at odds of 4.0 (3/1) and as everyone knows Tottenham failed to turn up to the game – £5.00 loss but an extra £5.00 free bet
Bet 1 it should be noted was a “Game of two halves” where SkyBet will give a £5.00 fre bet if you bet £5.00 cash in-play
So in summary £15.00 in free bets added this week and a Total profit of £45.50 for the week making a campaign total profit of £32.22 when I take previous losses into account.

The Road to Cheltenham 2022 Week 6 Bet 1

It doesn’t seem like it was 6 weeks since Cheltenham, they say time goes faster the older you get.
Tonight Leeds Host Liverpool and yes you guessed it I will be Putting a BTTS “Yes” bet on in-play. Two reasons, at the moment BTTS odds are just 1.5 so I will be watching the game and the odds until they reach 2.0 the second reason is that SkyBet is using the game to offer their “Game of Two Halves” promotion which means that if you bet £5.00 in play at odds of 1.5 or better then you get a £5.00 free bet to use in the second half, but as with all SkyBet free bets they never expire 😁.
Onto tonights bet though, Leeds Utd have scored in only two of their last home games But their average goals per game is 1.4, also only 7 of their 21 home goals have been scored in the first half making it a distinct possibility that the odds could indeed get to 2.0 as Liverpool’s first half scoring rate when they are away is even worse than Leeds’ at 28% or only 8 out of 29 away goals scored in the first half, their scoring rate per game when away however is 1.92. I will be hoping that both teams score their first goals between minutes 46 and 61. If there is an early goal then I will be taking the odds if they are 1.5 or better to secure the free bet. If the odds settle after the first goal below 1.5 then contingency plan A will kick in and a Over 3.5 bet should be at 2.0 or better and usually with early goals come more goals. The last time these two played each other the score was 4-3 and Salah had a hat-trick with two penalties.
