Any truth in this?

Pretty amazing for the swans if so.

40-1 is soooooo tight


Be a redic swoop

"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

Would not imagine they could pay his wages. He may come to prem but would be in a top 3-4 side

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.

They could afford wages, but they still won't buy him as club is run on tight ship.

The whole thing is PR stunt.

Impossible they take any money on it and they bet to a ridic % anyway

Terrible article. No sense is made in it at all. Ridiculous and really tilting even though it shouldnt be
