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 £3.64 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 ‘888PLBoost’ between Friday 14th April 2017 and Monday 17th 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 a draw (6/1) in Tottenham v Bournemouth (Match Odds market)…

6 / 1 = 6.00… 6.00 * 1.50 = 9.00… 9.00 + 1.00 = 10.00

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 a draw @ 10.00 = Potential profit of £90.00

Lay £13.93 on a draw @ 7.20 = Potential liability of £86.36

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

Draw + £90.00 – £86.36 = £3.64 profit
Not a draw – £10.00 + £13.65 (£13.93 minus 2% commission) = £3.65 profit

So, regardless of the outcome, we’ll make a minimum guaranteed profit of £3.64 on this 888sport offer!
