BoyleSports Price Boost – Celtic & Man Utd

It’s a day of Cup Final action on Saturday and you don’t want to miss this BoyleSports price boost. They’re enhancing Celtic to win the Scottish FA Cup and Man Utd to win the English FA Cup from evens to a tasty 2/1! Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a risk-free potential profit of £6.91 and here’s how…

Price Boost Bet:

The maximum stake for this price boost is £10.00.

Place £10.00 on Celtic & Man Utd both to win the cup @ 3.00 = Potential profit of £20.00

As both matches kick-off at different times and don’t overlap, we can lay each leg sequentially for a risk-free potential profit.

We start by placing a lay bet on Celtic. If Celtic don’t win the cup, our price boost bet has lost and we’ve broken even. If Celtic do win the cup, we can then place our next lay bet on Man Utd. When laying sequentially, we continue placing our lay bets so long as our price boost legs keep winning.

We can calculate our lay stakes using my Sequential Lay Calculator

Match 1: Celtic v Motherwell

(Kick-Off: 15:00 on Saturday 19th May 2018)

I like to place my exchange lay bets with Betfair as they have great liquidity and the site is really easy to use.

Lay £10.53 on Celtic to win the cup @ 1.17 = Potential liability of £1.79

If Celtic win – £1.79
If Celtic don’t win – £10.00 + £10.00 = £0.00

So, if Celtic don’t win the cup, the offer will be over and we’ll have broken even. However, if Celtic do win the cup, we’ll have lost £1.79 so far.

Match 2: Chelsea v Man Utd

(Kick-Off: 17:15 on Saturday 19th May 2018)

Lay £12.42 on Man Utd to win the cup @ 1.91 = Potential liability of £11.30

If Man Utd win + £20.00 – £1.79 – £11.30 = £6.91 profit
If Man Utd don’t win – £10.00 – £1.79 + £11.79 = £0.00

So, if either team fails to win their respective cup, we’ll have broken even and there’s no harm done. However, if both teams win the cup, we’ll have made a nice risk-free profit of £6.91!

It’s worth nothing that the above workings are based on the lay odds that were available at the time of writing. If the lay odds fluctuate before we are able to place our lay bets, this may result in us making more potential profit, less potential profit or even a slight loss, so please bear that in mind before deciding whether or not to do this offer.

* Celtic won the cup and Man Utd didn’t, resulting in break even on this BoyleSports price boost. *
