I wonder what markets?

    Boyles had an ad up on their website today.
    "We beat the Premier League and Champions League prices of 20 leading bookmakers on Oddschecker last year".

    Source Oddschecker From August to December 2014.

    When you clicked on the ad, no details of any of the markets appeared.
    According to the Oddschecker website, there are 25 bookies on the site and that includes 3 Betting Exchanges so are they saying they beat every other bookie bar 1 over 5 months?
    When I have looked at Boyles prices in the past, they have never been top price on any market or team W/D/W markets so wondering does anybody know what market(s) they might be talking about in the ad?

    They're a shambles, I wouldn't pay a blind bit of attention to some of the nonsense their PR people spout.

    One for the Advertising Standards Authorities perhaps...
    Very hard to call due to high frequency fluctuations.

    As far as I can see they never "beat" the top 20 other bookies?
    Even looking at minor markets, they are never top in any of them so I still can't figure out where they are top unless I'm missing something?
    Might send them a mail.

    I assume that they beat each individual bookie, at some point over the course of the year. Which is meaningless.
    They say nothing about constancy or yearly average.
