Sky Bet 'Squad Bet'

Sky Bet are no strangers to coming up with innovative ideas, and they've done it again, adding a brand-new feature to their already excellent platform!

Squad Bet, as the name suggests, allows you to assemble a squad of players from the two teams playing and bet on what they will achieve collectively. (For example, Player A, Player B, Player C to have 6+ shots on target combined).

Your bet is based on real stats from the current and previous campaigns, giving you every chance of making a correct prediction.

The best part of the feature is the ability to add and remove players and create a bet based on the squad you’ve picked.

Where you can find Squad Bet

The feature is located on the match event header of the game you've selected, if available. Not every match includes the new feature.

Squad Bet - How it works

Here's a bit more information on how this exciting new feature works:

Which markets can you bet on?

Squad Bet outcomes include:

  • Goals
  • Shots on Target
  • Shots
  • Fouls Committed
  • Fouls Won
  • Assists

You can decide to assemble your squad using players from both teams, or just stick to players from one team, e.g. Top Finishers, Top Home Finishers, Top Away Finishers.

Note: Outcomes are subject to availability and change.

How do you edit your squad?

When you click on a market, the top 4 players with the best stats are automatically selected. But you can choose to deselect these and add another player to your squad instead.

Just click on a player to add or remove it from your squad. A maximum of 20 players can be included, with 2 being the minimum.

How to place your Squad Bet

Once you've done your tinkering, it's time to predict the outcome your squad will achieve between them.

Your bet won't be added to your bet slip until you decide and select the combined number of shots on target, for example.

Use the left and right arrows to find the options available.
