Sky Bet – Chelsea v Liverpool Boost

It’s Chelsea v Liverpool in the EFL Cup Final on Sunday, and you don’t want to miss this Sky Bet price boost! They’ve enhanced Mo Salah to score in 90 minutes from 6/4 to a rather nice 3/1. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a profit of £4.48 and here’s how…

Price boost

The maximum stake may vary per customer, but it’s likely to be £10.00.

Place £10.00 on ‘Salah to score in 90mins’ @ 4.00 = Potential profit of £30.00

Smarkets logo

Lay £10.21 on ‘Mohamed Salah’ (Anytime Goalscorer) @ 3.50 = Potential liability of £25.52

Outcomes

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

OutcomeSky BetSmarketsProfit/Loss
Salah scores in 90 mins+ £30.00– £25.52£4.48 profit
Salah doesn’t score in 90 mins– £10.00+ £10.00£0.00

So, if Mo Salah fails to score in 90 minutes, we’ll break even, and there’s no harm done. However, if Salah does score in 90 minutes, we’ll make a nice profit of £4.48 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 fixed profit of £1.26.

* Mo Salah failed to score in 90 minutes, resulting in break-even on this Sky Bet offer. *
