Sky Bet Offer – Soccer Special Price Boost

It wouldn’t be a big weekend of Premier League football without a Sky Bet Soccer Special Price Boost! They’ve enhanced Manchester City, Bournemouth and West Ham all to win from 3/1 to 9/2. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a risk-free potential profit of £7.22 and here’s how…

Price Boost bet:

Maximum stakes for this offer may vary for different accounts, but the following example is based on a maximum stake of £25.00. We can underlay this accumulator on the Betfair Exchange to make this offer risk-free.

You can find the accumulator market by heading over to the Betfair Exchange and searching ‘acca’ in the search box at the top of the homepage or alternatively, by using the following link trail in the left-hand sidebar…

Football > English Premier League > 15.00 Acca Sat 05 Nov

We just need to divide our stake of £25.00 by 0.95 to account for the 5% commission that Betfair charge on net winnings. This gives us a lay stake of £26.32…

skybet

Place £25.00 on Man City, Bournemouth & West Ham to win @ 5.50 = Potential profit of £112.50

betfair

Lay £26.32 on Bournemouth/Man City/West Ham @ 5.00 = Potential liability of £105.28

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

Treble wins + £112.50 – £105.28 = £7.22 profit
Treble doesn’t win – £25.00 + £25.00 (£26.32 minus 5% commission) = £0.00

So, if our enhanced treble doesn’t win, we’ll break even and there’s no harm done. If, however, it does win, we’ll make a nice risk-free profit of £7.22 on this Sky Bet offer.

NOTE: If you don’t want to underlay this price boost, you can just lay it normally for a guaranteed profit of £1.39.
