Paddy Power – Chelsea v Man City Boost

It’s Chelsea v Man City in the Premier League on Saturday and you don’t want to miss this Paddy Power price boost! They’ve enhanced Romelu Lukaku to have 1 or more shots on target from 1/5 to a rather nice evens. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a risk-free potential profit of £4.42 and here’s how…

Power Price Boost

The maximum stake for this power price boost is £20.00.

As you can see, the calculator tells us that our lay stake should be £21.06…

Place £20.00 on ‘Romelu Lukaku to have 1 or more shots on target’ @ 2.00 = Potential profit of £20.00

Lay £21.06 on ‘Lukaku To Have Over 0.5 Shots On Target’ @ 1.74 = Potential liability of £15.58

Outcomes

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

OutcomePaddy PowerExchangeProfit/Loss
Lukaku has 1+ shots on target+ £20.00– £15.58£4.42 profit
Any other outcome– £20.00+ £20.00£0.00

So, if Lukaku fails to hit the target, we’ll break even and there’s no harm done. However, if Lukaku has 1 or more shots on target, we’ll make a nice risk-free profit of £4.42 on this Paddy Power price boost!

If you would prefer to lock in a smaller profit, you can simply use the ‘Standard‘ tab on the calculator for a guaranteed profit of £2.48.

* Lukaku failed to have a shot on target, resulting in break even on this Paddy Power price boost. *
