Marathonbet predict the opening weekend… using 2 Mums & an Xbox

This season, Marathonbet have decided to add to the influx of Premier League betting predictions by going down the alternative route and pitting 2 Mother’s against each other to play through the opening 10 games of the season on the popular football video game FIFA.

Putting to the test the age-old saying that ‘Mother knows best’ – the sports betting brand had the two women that have never before played a video game in their lives, recreate the games that will be played across the opening weekend of the Barclays Premier League to eventually reach a set of predictions that possibly no one else in the world will have landed on.

The video piece on one hand challenging football fans to think about their own predictions, and on the other, creating an appealing proposition for an accumulator, with £10 being placed on the 10 games, returning a potential £2,589,599*.

The video found here allows you to watch the calamitous play through; however the full run-down of results is below:

Manchester United 0 Spurs 2
Bournemouth 0 Aston Villa 0
Norwich City 1 Crystal Palace 1
Everton 2 Watford 0
Leicester City 1 Sunderland 0
Chelsea 0 Swansea 1
Arsenal 1 West Ham 0
Newcastle 0 Southampton 0
Stoke City 1 Liverpool 0
West Bromwich 0 Manchester City 1

Not actually too bad for a couple of Mums that don’t watch football or play videogames, PR Manager of Marathonbet had this to say about the alternative predictions: “This year we wanted to predict the opening of the season in a way different to anybody else, and taking into account that our audience are not only predominately male and fans of football, but also enjoy comedy and videogames – there wasn’t any better way than testing out if Mother does really know best about everything… including the Barclays Premier League!”
