The Betfair Football £10 Bet of the Day
Day 197: We're backing IK Sleipner to keep a clean sheet against Motala at [2.16]
After a rough patch earlier in May, our Bet of the Day form improved to such a dramatic extent that we have had seven winners in nine days, taking our overall profit to £118.42 and ensuring that we will finish with three figures regardless of the outcome of what is our final ever £10 daily wager.
But while over £100 is a lovely sum to be taking into the summer, there's no chance that we will simply settle for that as we're desperate to sign off with a fifth triumphant tip in a row. Our selection as we strive to achieve that goal is to back IK Sleipner to keep a clean sheet against Motala at [2.16].
Why have we opted for a team in the Swedish regional divisions? The primary reason is that there are practically no matches taking place today and while our preference would have been simply to bet on the hosts triumphing, we wanted to end by backing something at a price greater than evens.
IK Sleipner are third in the Division 1 Sodra, a point off the top of the table, while their visitors are right at the bottom with just three points to their name and on a dismal run of four successive losses during which they have managed to muster just one goal.
Their away record so far this season is even more pitiful, with three defeats suffered in three outings and each of the last two coming without scoring. Such ineptitude should be punished by a side that remain unbeaten at home, especially as they thumped the strugglers 4-0 the last time they met.
Our bet: We're backing IK Sleipner to keep a clean sheet against Motala at [2.16], meaning that - before factoring in commission - we stand to win £11.60. Sign up for a new account now and have your first bet of up to £25 refunded if it loses.
