Sky Bet Offer – Soccer Special Price Boost

The weekend just wouldn’t be the same without a Soccer Special Price Boost from Sky Bet! They’ve enhanced Chelsea, Manchester City and Southampton all to win from 3/1 to a tasty 9/2. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential risk-free profit of £7.22 and here’s how…

Maximum stakes for this offer may vary for different accounts, but the following example is based on a maximum stake of £25.00.

We can underlay this accumulator on the Betfair Exchange to make this offer risk-free.

You can find the accumulator markets via the following link trail Betfair Exchange > Football > Barclays Premier League > Sat 16th Jan > 15:00 Acca Saturday 16 January Premier League.

We just need to divide our stake of £25.00 by 0.95 to account for the 5% commission that Betfair charge on net winnings. This gives us a lay stake of £26.32…

Place £25.00 on Chelsea, Man City and Southampton to win @ 5.50 = Potential profit of £112.50

betfair

Lay £26.32 on Chelsea, Man City and Southampton to win @ 5.00 = Potential liability of £105.28

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

Treble wins +£112.50 – £105.28 = £7.22 profit
Treble doesn’t win -£25.00 + £25.00 (£26.32 minus 5% commission) = £0.00

So if our enhanced treble doesn’t win, we break even and there’s no harm done, however, if it does win, we will make a nice risk-free profit of £7.22 on this Sky Bet offer.
