You can calculate your underlay stake using my Matched Betting Calculator. You just need to open up the ‘Advanced’ section and click the ‘Underlay’ tab.
As you can see, the calculator tells you that your lay stake should be £10.53…
Place £10.00 on ‘Cristiano Ronaldo 1+ shot on target’ @ 2.00 = Potential profit of £10.00
Lay £10.53 on ‘Ronaldo To Have Over 0.5 Shots On Target’ @ 1.70 = Potential liability of £7.37
Outcomes
Let’s look at your profit/loss for the two potential outcomes…
| Outcome | Sky Bet | Matchbook | Profit/Loss |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ronaldo has 1+ shot on target | + £10.00 | – £7.37 | £2.63 profit |
| Any other outcome | – £10.00 | + £10.00 | £0.00 |
So, if Ronaldo fails to have a shot on target, you’ll break even, and there’s no harm done. However, if Ronaldo does hit the target, you’ll make a profit of £2.63 on this Sky Bet price boost!
If you prefer to lock in a smaller profit, you can simply use the ‘Standard‘ tab on the calculator for a minimum profit of £1.51.
