Sky Bet Offer – Super Sunday Price Boost

It’s a super Sunday, which can only mean one thing.  Sky Bet are running another price boost offer, perfect for the matched bettor. This week they’re offering 6/1 (boosted from 4/1) on Everton and Liverpool to both win today.  Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential risk-free profit of £29.78 and here’s how…

Price Boost Bet:

I don’t know if different people have different maximum stakes, but the maximum stake I was able to place was £27.50.

Place £27.50 on Everton and Liverpool to win @ 7.00 = Potential profit of £165.00

Match 1: Everton v Leicester City (14:05 kick-off)

On the first match, we have to cover our original stake of £27.50.  If we divide £27.50 by 0.95 (to account for the 5% Betfair commission), this gives us a lay stake of £28.95.

Lay £28.95 on Everton @ 1.83 = Potential liability of £24.03

If Everton win -£27.50 – £24.03 = -£51.53
If Everton don’t win -£27.50 + £27.50 = £0.00

So if Everton don’t win, the offer will be over and we’ll have broken even.  However, if Everton do win, we will lose £24.03.  This means on the next match we will have to cover both the £24.03 and the original stake of £27.50.  If we divide £51.53 by 0.95 (to account for the 5% Betfair commission), this gives us a lay stake of £54.24.

Match 2: Southampton v Liverpool (16:15 kick-off)

betfair

Lay £54.24 on Liverpool @ 3.05 = Potential liability of £111.19

If Liverpool win -£24.03 – £111.19 + £165.00 = £29.78 profit
If Liverpool don’t win -£27.50 – £24.03 + £51.53 = £0.00

So if either Liverpool don’t win, we’ll have broken even overall.  However, if Liverpool win, we’ll have made a nice profit of £29.78!
