Everton - Can We Beat The Odds?

The sixth game of our Premier League season is upon us this weekend and we welcome Everton to the Liberty Stadium this afternoon and that has to mean that our latest bets are in play.

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)

This weekend that sees us with the bet on us to win at 13/10, a 2-1 Swans win at 17/2 and Bafetimbi Gomis to score first at 5/1.

We are currently with quite a decent profit showing for this season but with the disappointment of last week we will be looking to bounce back tomorrow not just on the pitch but at the bookies as well.

The weekend bets and running totals are below

Swansea City to a man : A total unprofessional embarrassment

With the Hull City away game an early kick off this Saturday (12.30pm) MKM stadium the Swans have the usual slim selections to choose from.
