888sport Offer – Premier League Profit Boost

There’s plenty of Premier League action to look forward to this weekend and you don’t want to miss this 888sport offer! Simply place a bet on any Premier League match and 888sport will apply a 50% boost to our winnings! Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a minimum guaranteed profit of £3.27 and here’s how…

Qualifying bet:

The maximum stake for this offer is £10.00.

To be eligible for this offer, we must deposit £10.00+ using the deposit code ‘888PLBoost’ between Friday 31st March 2017 and Sunday 2nd April 2017. A profit boost token will then be credited to our account.

Our profit boost token gives us 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 Stoke City (16/5) to beat Leicester City (Match Odds market)…

16 / 5 = 3.20… 3.20 * 1.50 = 4.80… 4.80 + 1.00 = 5.80

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…

Place £10.00 on Stoke City @ 5.80 = Potential profit of £48.00

Lay £13.55 on Stoke City @ 4.30 = Potential liability of £44.71

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

Stoke City win + £48.00 – £44.71 = £3.29 profit
Stoke City don’t win – £10.00 + £13.27 (£13.55 minus 2% commission) = £3.27 profit

So, regardless of the outcome, we’ll make a minimum guaranteed profit of £3.27 on this 888sport offer!
