BoyleSports Offer – Premier League Crossbar Money Back

It’s Week 5 of the Premier League 2016/17 season and you don’t want to miss this BoyleSports offer! Simply place a pre-match bet on selected Premier League games this weekend, 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 £96.68 and here’s how…

Qualifying Bets:

This weekend’s eligible matches are as follows…

Fixture Kick-Off Date
Hull City v Arsenal 15:00 Saturday 17th September 2016
Everton v Middlesbrough 17:30 Saturday 17th September 2016
Watford v Man Utd 12:00 Sunday 18th September 2016
Crystal Palace v Stoke City 14:15 Sunday 18th September 2016
Tottenham v Sunderland 16:00 Sunday 18th September 2016

We must opt-in to this promotion to be eligible.

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 Hull City 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 @ 1.615 = Potential profit of £15.38

smarkets whiteLay £25.23 on Arsenal @ 1.62 = Potential liability of £15.65

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

Arsenal win + £15.38 – £15.65 = £0.27 loss
Arsenal don’t win and crossbar struck – £25.00 + £24.73 + £20.00 (extract 80% from stake refund) = £19.73 profit
Arsenal don’t win and crossbar not struck – £25.00 + £24.73 = £0.27 loss

So, if Arsenal don’t win and the crossbar is struck, we will make a nice profit of £19.73. If, however, Arsenal do win or the crossbar isn’t struck, we’ll have made a small loss of £0.27. Risking £0.27 to make a profit of £19.73, gives us effective odds of 74.07, which I’m sure you’ll agree, makes this a very profitable offer in the long run.

This offer is available on all five specified matches. It’s entirely up to you which selections you go for, but here’s what I’ll be going for…

Fixture Selection Back Odds Lay Odds Qualifying Loss Potential Profit
Hull City v Arsenal Arsenal 1.615 1.62 £0.27 £19.73
Everton v Middlesbrough Everton 1.615 1.67 £1.02 £18.98
Watford v Man Utd Man Utd 1.667 1.70 £0.69 £19.31
Crystal Palace v Stoke City Crystal Palace 2.05 2.12 £1.08 £18.92
Tottenham v Sunderland Tottenham 1.333 1.34 £0.26 £19.74

So, as you can see, we’ll lose £3.32 if we don’t hit any winners, but with £96.68 in potential profit up for grabs, this offer is well worth a shot!

* The crossbar was struck during the Watford v Manchester United game, which Watford won 3-1, meaning I made an overall profit of £16.68 on this BoyleSports offer. *
