FOOTBALL: SPREAD BETTING
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.THERE WAS little to suggest in their match against France that South Africa will set the nets billowing against Denmark today. Bafana Bafana had just two shots, neither on target, against the hosts. That makes IG's quote of 2.4-2.9 for their total goals in the tournament a must-sell. It is so out of sync with Sporting's opinion - 1.5-2.0 - that a buy with them results in a profit of 0.4 made by exerting no more energy than that required to make two phone calls.
The cushy group France have found themselves in means Barthez and Djorkaeff are favourites in Sporting's "End to End Index" which pairs a goalkeeper with an outfield player and rewards a clean sheet or a goal with a point. Barthez should have have no problem with his part of the equation, so it's up to Djorkaeff to keep his end up.
Sporting clients have a chance to prove themselves shameless, getting a better price on the "Sheikh and Vac" market if they sing the advert. It's an impossible market to gauge as it takes in Saudi Arabia hitting the bar, headers in their own area and the number of minutes their substitutes are on. Your betting strategy may need shaking up but this will hardly put the freshness back.
