Another winner.

Today we boosted Stefan Posch to be booked in partnership with @bet365.

Posch was already top price at 13/5, with William Hill next best at 9/4.

We boosted him to 11/4.

🟨 Booked after 40 minutes.

We’ll be back tomorrow with another exclusive price boost for SpankTheBookies followers.

Exclusive price boost for SpankTheBookies followers.

Edson Álvarez to be booked vs South Africa has been boosted to 9/2 with bet365.

✅ Bigger than EVERY other bookmaker.

The next best price is just 3/1 with Sky Bet.

Nicknamed "El Machín", Álvarez is Mexico's midfield enforcer and tactical fouls are part of his game.

He was booked within 40 minutes of coming on against Serbia in Mexico's final warm-up match.

Wilton Sampaio referees tonight and averages close to five yellow cards per game.

We make 9/2 a very strong bet and believe the price is fantastic value.

🏇 3:33 Ludlow – Race Preview 🏇

I like Hard Dealt in this and here’s why.

Back in December I heard Dicky Johnson (who runs the syndicate that owns her) say she’d be one to follow when stepped up in trip. That stuck with me.

I’ve backed her twice since.

Both times this Walk In The Park mare finished second to Analiese. On each occasion she looked slightly outpaced turning in, with Analiese already kicking for home — but Hard Dealt has stayed on strongly late and hit the line hard.

Those runs suggest today’s extra furlong could unlock a bit more improvement.

Henry Daly sends three runners to Ludlow:
- A 125/1 shot in the opener (ran like the odds suggested)
- Hard Dealt here
- A 22/1 shot later on the card

📊 Daly has an 18% strike rate at Ludlow over the past five years, and David Bass rides — he’s in form with 4 winners from his last 17.

☑️ Everything points to this step up in trip being the right move.

Hard Dealt (3:33 Ludlow) – 3/1

RT @SpankTheBookies: Manchester United vs Manchester City: New Era, Same Questions - Where’s the Betting Value?

I’ve landed on three bets…

[Spank The Bookies @SpankTheBookies]

A lot of people are disputing several @OptaJoe / @OptaAnalyst decisions from yesterday’s Arsenal vs Wolves game.

The main ones for me are:

1) Mané should be credited with a shot for Wolves’ goal. He takes the initial effort, which is then turned in by Arokodare. Opta haven’t awarded Mané the shot, and that decision needs reviewing.

2) Declan Rice’s free kick was clearly saved by Sam Johnstone. You can see the Wolves goalkeeper get a touch on it with his fingers. That should be recorded as a save.

3) There are also questions around Bukayo Saka’s involvement in the first goal, which several people have asked me to flag for review.

That’s potentially three major data decisions in one match, all of which have had a financial impact on punters.

It’s vital that Opta get these calls right — and where there’s doubt, decisions should be reviewed when requested.

One of our followers is currently four figures down because Mané hasn’t been credited with a shot. That isn’t acceptable.

If you’ve been affected by any of these Opta decisions from this game, please RT, share, and submit a request via the Opta contact form asking for a review of all three incidents.

We’ll do what we can to help. 🤝

BOOKING TIP FOR TODAY (12:30pm) ⚠️
(3 min read)

Southampton’s Leo Scienza is the most-fouled player in the Championship this season — and it’s not even a debate.

He’s been fouled 49 times, averaging 5.16 fouls won per 90 minutes. The next closest player (minimum 2 games) is Ethan Laird at 3.90 per 90. In other words, Scienza is basically winning an extra free-kick per game just for existing.

Unsurprisingly, this keeps landing defenders in trouble.

Scienza has started 7 of Southampton’s last 8 games, and in those 7 starts the opposition RB / RWB / RCB has been booked 4 times:
• Iwata (Birmingham RB)
• Ramsey (Charlton RB)
• Palmer (Sheff Wed RCB)
• Offiah (QPR RWB)

Different clubs, different systems, same outcome: defenders arriving late, smashing into him, referee reaching for the pocket. I’ve seen people say he “could win a free-kick in an empty room” — which feels generous, because he’d probably win two.

Today Southampton face Norwich, and Kellen Fisher is lining up at RB, with the unenviable task of trying to stop Scienza without fouling him. Fisher has been booked 4 times in 13 starts, so the ref already knows his name.

I’m taking the straight single on Kellen Fisher to be booked, priced around 13/5.

If you’re feeling adventurous, Pelle Mattson is another candidate for a booking, he plays in midfield and might have to get across to double up on him — the double sits around 17/2— but I’ll be keeping it sensible and sticking with the single.

If this sort of stat-led waffle, a share or follow is appreciated.

BOOKING TIP FOR THIS EVENING – STRONG FANCY ⚠️

(Around 3 min read - Likes and shares appreciated)

Southampton’s Leo Scienza is currently the most fouled player in the Championship, and it’s not even close. He’s been fouled 46 times, averaging 5.23 per 90 minutes. The next closest player with 2+ games is Ethan Laird at 3.90 per 90, meaning Scienza draws an extra foul per match compared to anyone else in the league.

He’s started 6 of Southampton’s last 7 games, and in those six starts, the defender on his side — RB/RWB/RCB — has been booked 4 times. Those bookings were against Iwata (Birmingham), Ramsey (Charlton), Palmer (Sheff Wed) and Offiah (QPR). Different players, different systems, same problem: Scienza forces defenders into awkward, last-ditch challenges.

People on here have joked that he could “win a free-kick in an empty room,” and plenty rate him as one of the best attackers in the league right now. Whatever your view, he’s consistently drawing contact, turning defenders, and creating high-risk defensive situations.

Tonight, Southampton face WBA, and George Campbell is expected to start at right-back. He’s been booked 3 times in 13 starts, and he’s the type of defender who can be dragged into physical duels when isolated 1v1. With Scienza running directly at him, the matchup speaks for itself.

The price is around 13/5 for a Campbell booking.
If you’re someone who likes doubles, the players operating on his side — Molumby (RCM) and Phillips (RCB) — sit around 12/1 and 18/1 for card combos.

Personally, I’ll just be taking the single.

If you find this sort of analysis useful, feel free to share and drop a follow.
