Soccer Special Super Boost – Sky Bet

There’s a big afternoon of New Year’s Day football to look forward to and you don’t want to miss this Sky Bet Soccer Special Super Boost! They’ve enhanced Arsenal and Portsmouth to win, plus our choice of Aston Villa to win, lose or draw. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a risk-free potential profit of £14.27 and here’s how…

Soccer Special Super Boost:

The maximum stake will vary per customer, but is likely to be £10.00.

It’s entirely up to you which combination you go for. Having looked at the odds available, we could place our qualifying bet on Arsenal, Portsmouth & Aston Villa all to win.

At the time of writing, laying our bet with Smarkets gives us the biggest risk-free potential profit.

We can find the acca market via the following link trail…

Smarkets > Football > Accumulators > Tuesday

We can calculate our underlay stake using my matched betting calculator. We just need to open up the ‘SHOW ADVANCED’ section and click the ‘UNDERLAY’ tab…

As you can see, the calculator tells us that our lay stake should be £10.21…

Place £10.00 on Arsenal, Portsmouth & Aston Villa all to win @ 6.00 = Potential profit of £50.00

Smarkets logo

Lay £10.21 on ‘Will Arsenal, Portsmouth & Aston Villa all win on Tuesday, January 1st? – Yes’ @ 4.50 = Potential liability of £35.73

Outcomes:

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

Outcome Bookie Exchange Profit/Loss
Treble wins +£50.00 -£35.73 £14.27 profit
Treble doesn’t win -£10.00 +£10.00 £0.00

So, if our treble doesn’t win, we’ll break even and there’s no harm done. However, if our treble does win, we’ll make a nice risk-free profit of £14.27 on this Sky Bet Soccer Special Super Boost!

* Aston Villa were the only team not to win their respective fixture, resulting in break even on this Sky Bet price boost. *
