BoyleSports Offer – Champions & Europa Leagues Crossbar Money Back

It’s Week 4 of the Champions and Europa Leagues and you don’t want to miss this BoyleSports offer! Simply place a pre-match bet on selected Champions League or Europa League games this week, and if either side hits the crossbar, BoyleSports will refund losing stakes on all pre-match markets as a free bet, up to a maximum of £25.00. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us an overall potential profit of £152.00 and here’s how…

Qualifying Bets:

This week’s eligible matches are as follows…

If you’re unfamiliar with qualifying bets, please see my Qualifying Bet Strategy page for a walk-through guide on how it should be done.

If either team hits the crossbar, BoyleSports will refund all losing bets on all pre-match markets for that particular match. Just to clarify, the ball must strike the crossbar and rebound back into play. The side posts do not count for the purposes of this offer.

Having looked at the odds available for Ludogorets Razgrad v Arsenal, I’ve opted to place my qualifying bet on Arsenal in the Match Betting market.

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 using my matched betting calculator…

Place £25.00 on Arsenal @ 1.40 = Potential profit of £10.00

smarkets whiteLay £25.00 on Arsenal @ 1.42 = Potential liability of £10.50

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

Arsenal win + £10.00 – £10.50 = £0.50 loss
Arsenal don’t win and crossbar struck – £25.00 + £24.50 + £20.00 (extract 80% from stake refund) = £19.50 profit
Arsenal don’t win and crossbar not struck – £25.00 + £24.50 = £0.50 loss

So, if Arsenal don’t win and the crossbar is struck, we’ll make a nice profit of £19.50. If, however, Arsenal do win or the crossbar isn’t struck, we’ll have made a small loss of £0.50. Risking £0.50 to make a profit of £19.50, gives us effective odds of 40.00, which I’m sure you’ll agree, makes this a profitable offer in the long run.

This offer is available on all eight specified matches. It’s entirely up to you which selections you go for. I’ll update the following table with my selections throughout the week…

Fixture Selection Back Odds Lay Odds Qualifying Loss Potential Profit
Ludogorets v Arsenal Arsenal 1.40 1.42 £0.50 £19.50
Man City v Barcelona Man City 2.80 2.90 £1.18 £18.82
Monchengladbach v Celtic Draw 4.50 4.50 £0.39 £19.61
Tottenham v Leverkusen Tottenham 2.05 2.08 £0.62 £19.38
Copenhagen v Leicester Copenhagen 2.30 2.34 £0.71 £19.29
Zenit v Dundalk
Fenerbahce v Man Utd Man Utd 2.15 2.20 £0.84 £19.16
Southampton v Inter

So, as you can see, we’ll lose between £0.50-£1.50 on each bet that doesn’t come off, but with approximately £19.00 profit per game up for grabs, this offer is well worth a shot!

* The crossbar was struck in Man City 3-1 Barcelona, Monchengladbach 1-1 Celtic, Tottenham 0-1 Bayer Leverkusen, Southampton 2-1 Inter Milan and Zenit 2-1 Dundalk. *
