Sky Bet Offer – Soccer Special Price Boost

A Super Sunday of Premier League football just wouldn’t be right without a Soccer Special Price Boost from Sky Bet! They’ve enhanced Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City all to win from 5/1 to a tasty 8/1. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential risk-free profit of £45.70 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.

Place £25.00 on Arsenal, Liverpool & Man City @ 9.00 = Potential profit of £200.00

Match 1: Arsenal v Leicester City (Kick-Off: 12:00)

On the first match, we have to cover our original stake of £25.00.  If we divide £25.00 by 0.98 (to account for the 2% Smarkets commission), this gives us a lay stake of £25.51.

Lay £25.51 on Arsenal @ 1.78 = Potential liability of £19.64

If Arsenal win – £19.64 = – £19.64
If Arsenal don’t win – £25.00 + £25.00 = £0.00

So, if Arsenal don’t win, the offer will be over and we’ll have broken even. However, if Arsenal do win, we will have lost £19.64 so far.

Match 2: Aston Villa v Liverpool (Kick-Off: 14:05)

So, if Arsenal win, this means on the next match we will have to cover both the £19.64 lost on the first match plus the original stake of £25.00. If we divide £44.64 by 0.98 (to account for the 2% Smarkets commission), this gives us a lay stake of £45.55.

Lay £45.55 on Liverpool @ 1.84 = Potential liability of £38.25

If Liverpool win – £19.64 – £38.25 = – £57.89
If Liverpool don’t win – £25.00 – £19.64 + £44.64 = £0.00

So if Liverpool don’t win, the offer will be over and we’ll have broken even. However, if Liverpool do win, we will have lost £57.89 so far.

Match 3: Man City v Tottenham (Kick-Off: 16:15)

So, if Liverpool win, this means on the next match we will have to cover both the £57.89 lost so far plus the original stake of £25.00. If we divide £82.89 by 0.98 (to account for the 2% Smarkets commission), this gives us a lay stake of £84.58.

Lay £84.58 on Man City @ 2.14 = Potential liability of £96.41

If Man City win – £19.64 – £38.25 – £96.41 + £200.00 = £45.70 profit
If Man City don’t win – £25.00 – £19.64 – £38.25 + £82.89 = £0.00

So, if any team fails to win along the way, we’ll have broken even and there’s no harm done. However, if all three teams win, we’ll have made a nice risk-free profit of £45.70!

I’d like to point out 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 or even a slight loss, so please bear that in mind before deciding whether or not to do this offer.
