Be a redic swoop Title: Re: David Villa to Swansea??? Post by: The Camel on December 19, 2012, 10:24:55 PM "Sky Bet have cut Swansea from 40/1 to 8/11 to make a shock swoop for Barcelona forward David Villa after seeing a string of significant bets."
£1 @ 40/1 50p @ 12/1 £4 @ 6/1 £10 @ 2/1 £8.98 @ 6/4 (they had been restricted) imo Title: Re: David Villa to Swansea??? Post by: Junior Senior on December 19, 2012, 10:26:06 PM Would not imagine they could pay his wages. He may come to prem but would be in a top 3-4 side

Post by: redarmi on December 19, 2012, 10:29:32 PM How stupid as an odds compiler do you have to be to go 40-1 about something when a punter phones up to ask for it like apparently happened in this situation, especially something like this. I mean has anyone ever just sat at home and thought to themselves "I might phone up skybet and see if I can get a price on Messi to go to Barnsley?, I think they might target him this year" It is beyond stupid to go up 40-1 in that situation. No wonder they won't take a bet if that is the standard of odds compiling.

He may come to prem but would be in a top 3-4 side They could afford wages, but they still won't buy him as club is run on tight ship. Title: Re: David Villa to Swansea???
