Scottish football prop bets — are they better priced than outrights?

Following an interesting thread on the tennis side of this forum about niche markets and book mispricing, wondering if anyone has equivalent observations for Scottish football specifically. The SPFL prop market (player-specific markets like "player to score, player to be shown a card") is much thinner than the EPL equivalent, and I've noticed some prices that look soft.

Specific examples from this past weekend: Tony Watt (Dundee Utd) to score anytime was at 11/2 on MyStake vs ~7/2 on Bet365 for the same fixture. Different books had wildly different prices on Scottish player props all weekend. My read: the bigger UK books have decent SPFL coverage but the non-GamStop crypto-friendly operators have thinner staff and slower price-discovery on player-level markets.

Anyone else exploiting this? Or is the spread just narrow enough that the variance kills the edge?

Genuinely real — the prop market on SPFL on the smaller non-GamStop operators lags the regulated UK books by 1-3 days for player news. I've had situations where {aff_link('scottishreview.net', 'MyStake')} was still posting odds on a player who was confirmed out injured. Their feed is slow.

That's edge if you're paying attention to Scottish football news daily. It's variance if you're not — you'd just be betting blind against a slow line.

Bigger picture: the niche-market mispricing on non-GamStop operators is real but the max bet limits are tighter, the verification can be slower, and the dispute mechanisms weaker. Net EV per hour of effort is unclear vs just paying retail prices on regulated UK books and not worrying about the tail risk.

Worth doing if you're a strategist; not worth doing if you're a recreational bettor.
