Coral Offer – Real Madrid v Atletico Madrid

Real Madrid face Atletico Madrid in the season-ending Champions League Final and Coral are running a great price boost on the action. They’re enhancing Cristiano Ronaldo to score from 4/7 to a tasty 2/1 for a limited time only. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a risk-free potential profit of £2.94 and here’s how…

This price boost goes live on the Coral site at 12:00 today (Saturday 28th May 2016) and won’t be around for long so make sure you grab it! There is a maximum stake of £10.00.

We can underlay this price boost on the Betfair Exchange to make this offer risk-free. We just need to divide our stake of £10.00 by 0.95 to account for the 5% commission that Betfair charge on net winnings. This gives us a lay stake of £10.53…

Place £10.00 on ‘Ronaldo to score in 90 mins’ @ 3.00 = Potential profit of £20.00

betfair

Lay £10.53 on Ronaldo ‘To Score’ @ 2.62 = Potential liability of £17.06

Let’s have a look at our profit/loss for the two potential outcomes…

Ronaldo scores + £20.00 – £17.06 = £2.94 profit
Ronaldo doesn’t score -£10.00 + £10.00 (£10.53 minus 5% commission) = £0.00

So if Ronaldo fails to find the net, we’ll have broken even and there’s no harm done. If, however, Ronaldo does score, we’ll have made a risk-free profit of £2.94 on this Coral price boost.
