Researching bookies boosted bets. Are they really value or just a way of getting you to part with your money

Off to a good start today 👍
Each week, as well as the free fives game run by VirginBet they also do something that they call Team Fives Weekly, and basically it is the top 5 strikers of the week and a selection of bets associated with these players in terms of goals scored or shots on target.
This weeks 5 are
Aubameyang
Lukaku
Ronaldo
Vardy
Watkins
The page is difficult to find so I recommend clicking the link above.
The bets on the page are
All 5 to score at odds of 80/1 (81.00)
All 5 to have 1 or more shots on Target 19/10 (2.90)
Over 1.5 GOALS combined 3/10 (1.30)
Over 2.5 GOALS combined 10/11 (1.90)
Over 3.5 GOALS combined 9/4 (3.25)
Over 4.5 SHOTS on Target combined 1/16 (1.06)
Over 5.5 SHOTS on Target combined 2/13 (1.15)
Over 6.5 SHOTS on Target combined 1/3 (1.33)





These then are the 5. My initial thoughts are that both Ronaldo and Aubameyang should score at least 1 each and this bares out the low odds offered. The only player not to score this season so far is Watkins and against Everton this might stay. The big London derby between Spurs and Chelsea also casts doubt over Lukaku making the scoresheet. Vardy is Vardy and if he has it in his mind to score he most probably will and against Brighton I wouldnt bet against it happening
I will be putting a small bet onto over 2.5 goals at 1.90 hoping Ronaldo will bag at least 2 leaving the rest to score just 1 between them.
Good Luck in whatever you decide and please gamble responsibly.

All 5 members of my elite squad now complete Lets have a look what I have got
Odegaard: With just one goal last season for Arsenal from 9 appearances I wont hold my breath about him scoring against Norwich. Having just come off international duty for Norway and only having played 71 minutes this season for the mighty gunners it may seem a bit of a stretch.
Antonio: This Jamaican striker for West Ham is in a unique position to create a new record in the Premier by scoring and assisting in 4 consecutive games. I have every hope that he might win me a quid or two. His price to score on betfair at the moment is 2.42
Phillips: Another International Duty player last scoring for Leeds Utd in the Football League Cup in August against Crewe. In a game against Liverpool on Sunday will he score? even if he plays perhaps not.
Jansson: A fives team wouldn’t be a fives team without a defender or two and as Brentford are not playing any teams which have any of my potential goalscorers I hope he stops a few goals going in.
Raul: Likes to score for Mexico but has yet to score for wolves and the last time that he did was nearly a year ago.
These are my five hopefuls and won’t be retiring from the proceeds this weekend – if there are any
VirginBet Fives is free to play on the VirginBet site If you havn’t already why not get fridays player at least – They may score – Good Luck to everyone who does have a team this weekend.
