Sky Bet Price Boost – Mayweather v McGregor

All eyes are on Las Vegas this weekend as Floyd Mayweather fights Conor McGregor and you don’t want to miss this Sky Bet Price Boost! They’ve enhanced Floyd Mayweather to win in Rounds 1-4 from 4/1 to a tasty 6/1. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a risk-free potential profit of £23.67 and here’s how…

Price Boost bet:

The maximum stake for this price boost is likely to be around the £25.00 mark.

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

We can calculate our underlay stake using my matched betting calculator. We just need to open up the ‘SHOW ADVANCED’ section and click the ‘UNDERLAY’ tab…

Place £25.00 on Mayweather Rounds 1-4 @ 7.00 = Potential profit of £150.00

Lay £26.32 on Mayweather Rounds 1-4 @ 5.80 = Potential liability of £126.33

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

Mayweather wins in Rounds 1-4 + £150.00 – £126.33 = £23.67 profit
Mayweather doesn’t win in Rounds 1-4 – £25.00 + £25.00 (£26.32 minus 5% commission) = £0.00

So, if Mayweather doesn’t win in Rounds 1-4, we’ll break even and there’s no harm done. However, if Mayweather does win in Rounds 1-4, we’ll make a nice risk-free profit of £23.67 on this Sky Bet offer!
