BoyleSports Offer – Premier League Top Goalscorer 2016/17

The Premier League returns on Saturday and you don’t want to miss this BoyleSports offer! Simply place a £20.00 bet on any player in the Premier League 2016/17 Top Goalscorer market and BoyleSports will give us a £2.00 free bet every time he scores between now and the end of 2016. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential profit of £15.01 and here’s how…

Qualifying Bet:

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

We must opt-in on the promotions page and place our qualifying bet before 12:00 on Tuesday 6th September, to be eligible.

It’s entirely up to you who you place your qualifying bet on. Having looked at the odds available, I’ve opted to place my qualifying bet on Sergio Aguero of Manchester City.

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…

As you can see, the calculator tells us that our lay stake should be £16.13…

Place £20.00 on Sergio Aguero @ 4.50 = Potential profit of £70.00

Lay £16.13 on Sergio Aguero @ 5.60 = Potential liability of £74.19

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

Aguero top scores + £70.00 – £74.19 = £4.19 loss
Aguero doesn’t top score – £20.00 + £15.81 (£16.13 minus 2% commission) = £4.19 loss

So, regardless of who finishes top scorer, we will lose £4.19 in qualifying for our potential free bets.

Free Bets:

For every goal that Sergio Aguero scores between now and 31st December 2016, we will receive a £2.00 free bet within 24 hours. Free bets will be valid for 7 days.

If Sergio Aguero were to score 12 goals, we would receive £24.00 worth (12 x £2.00) of free bets, from which we would extract 80% as cash, so £19.20. If we take into account our qualifying loss of £4.19, this gives us a potential profit of £15.01 on this BoyleSports offer!

NOTE: If you do not wish to have funds tied up in your Smarkets account for the duration of the season, you could let your back bet run as a punt. Aguero should score enough goals to cover your £20.00 stake and if he finishes as top scorer, you’ll make a nice profit of £70.00 in addition to the free bets.

If you do want to lay your selection, it’s worth pointing out that if we select different players for the various different bookmaker Top Goalscorer offers, this will help reduce our overall liability at Smarkets and if one of our selections wins, we will not pay quite as much commission as we only pay commission on net profits.

* Sergio Aguero didn’t finish as top goalscorer but scored 10 Premier League goals between the start of the season and the end of 2016, meaning I made a profit of £11.81 on this BoyleSports offer. *
