The Masters 2021 tees off on Thursday and you don’t want to miss these Paddy Power price boosts! They’ve enhanced Jordan Spieth to finish in the top 5 (including ties) from 5/2 to a rather nice 5/1 and Rory McIlroy to do the same from 3/1 to 11/2. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £5.12 and here’s how…
1. Jordan Spieth to finish in the top 5
If you’d like more information about price boosts and how they work, please see my price boosts guide.
The maximum stake for this power price boost is £20.00.
We can calculate our lay stake using my Matched Betting Calculator…
As you can see, the calculator tells us that our lay stake should be £25.64…
Place £20.00 on Jordan Spieth to finish in the top 5 (inc. ties) @ 6.00 = Potential profit of £100.00
Lay £25.64 on Jordan Spieth (Top 5) @ 4.70 = Potential liability of £94.86
Outcomes
Let’s have a look at our profit/loss for the two potential outcomes…
| Outcome | Paddy Power | Exchange | Profit/Loss |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spieth finishes in top 5 | + £100.00 | – £94.86 | £5.14 profit |
| Spieth finishes outside top 5 | – £20.00 | + £25.12 | £5.12 profit |
So, no matter where Jordan Spieth finishes, we’ll make a guaranteed profit of £5.12 on this Paddy Power price boost!
Note: If you would prefer a risk-free shot at £24.49 profit, you can simply use the ‘Underlay‘ tab in the ‘ADVANCED‘ section of the calculator.
2. Rory McIlroy to finish in the top 5
The maximum stake for this power price boost is £20.00.
We can calculate our underlay stake using my Matched Betting Calculator. We just need to open up the ‘ADVANCED’ section and click the ‘Underlay’ tab…
As you can see, the calculator tells us that our lay stake should be £20.41…
Place £20.00 on Rory McIlroy to finish in the top 5 (inc. ties) @ 6.50 = Potential profit of £110.00
Lay £20.41 on Rory McIlroy (Top 5) @ 5.80 = Potential liability of £97.96
Outcomes
Let’s have a look at our profit/loss for the two potential outcomes…
| Outcome | Paddy Power | Exchange | Profit/Loss |
|---|---|---|---|
| McIlroy finishes in top 5 | + £110.00 | – £97.96 | £12.04 profit |
| McIlroy finishes outside top 5 | – £20.00 | + £20.00 | £0.00 |
So, if Rory McIlroy finishes outside the top 5, we’ll break even and there’s no harm done. However, if he finishes in the top 5, we’ll make a nice risk-free profit of £12.04 on this Paddy Power price boost!
Note: If you would prefer to lock in a smaller profit, you can simply use the ‘Standard‘ tab on the calculator for a guaranteed profit of £2.04.
* Jordan Spieth finished in a tie for 3rd place and Rory McIlroy missed the cut, resulting in a profit of £5.14 on these Paddy Power price boosts. *
