888sport Offer – Juventus v Real Madrid

Juventus face Real Madrid in Cardiff tonight and 888sport are getting in on the action! Simply place a bet on Juventus v Real Madrid and 888sport will apply a 50% boost to our winnings! Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £2.43 and here’s how…

Qualifying bet:

The maximum stake for this offer is £10.00.

To be eligible for this offer, we must deposit £20.00+ using the deposit code ‘Champions’ between Friday 2nd June 2017 and Saturday 3rd June 2017. A profit boost token will then be credited to our account.

Our profit boost token gives us a 50% boost on our winnings. Only the fractional odds are boosted by 50%, so say we back a selection at 10/1 (11.00), our boosted odds would be 15/1 (16.00).

Having looked at the odds available, I’ve opted to place my qualifying bet on Real Madrid (8/5) in the Match market…

8 / 5 = 1.60…
1.60 * 1.50 = 2.40…
2.40 + 1.00 = 3.40

I like to place my exchange lay bets with Smarkets as they have great liquidity, the site is really easy to use and they only charge 2% commission in comparison to the 5% charged by other betting exchanges.

We can calculate our lay stake by entering our boosted odds into the matched betting calculator…

Lay £12.69 on Real Madrid @ 2.70 = Potential liability of £21.57

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

Real Madrid win + £24.00 – £21.57 = £2.43 profit
Real Madrid don’t win – £10.00 + £12.43 (£12.69 minus 2% commission) = £2.43 profit

So, regardless of the outcome, we’ll make a guaranteed profit of £2.43 on this 888sport offer!
