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 guaranteed profit of £3.18 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 Thursday 16th March 2017 and Sunday 19th March 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 Southampton (17/4) to beat Tottenham (Match Odds market)…

17 / 4 = 4.25… 4.25 * 1.50 = 6.375… 6.375 + 1.00 = 7.375

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 Southampton @ 7.375 = Potential profit of £63.75

Lay £13.46 on Southampton @ 5.50 = Potential liability of £60.57

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

Southampton win + £63.75 – £60.57 = £3.18 profit
Southampton don’t win – £10.00 + £13.19 (£13.46 minus 2% commission) = £3.19 profit

So, regardless of the outcome, we’ll make a guaranteed profit of £3.18 on this 888sport offer!
