Unlucky loser can enjoy fresh format

Punters betting on the new Betfred Cup in Scotland today should be aware of the updated format of the competition.

It has had a severe makeover from its tired old state and now features group formats with drawn matches going straight to a penalty shootout. The winner of the shootout will be awarded a bonus point.

All of that doesn’t alter the fact that it’s the middle of July and nearly all the clubs involved are treating the games as glorified friendlies, meaning it’s an utter minefield and extreme caution should be taken.
