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 ‘Conor McGregor to Win in Round 1’ @ 4.00 = Potential profit of £60.00
Lay £20.41 on ‘Conor McGregor and 1’ @ 3.75 = Potential liability of £56.12
Outcomes
Let’s have a look at our profit/loss for the two potential outcomes…
| Outcome | Paddy Power | Exchange | Profit/Loss |
|---|---|---|---|
| McGregor wins in Round 1 | + £60.00 | – £56.12 | £3.88 profit |
| McGregor doesn’t win in Round 1 | – £20.00 | + £20.00 | £0.00 |
So, if Conor McGregor fails to win in Round 1, we’ll break even and there’s no harm done. However, if he does win in Round 1, we’ll make a nice risk-free profit of £3.88 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 £1.02.
* Poirier won the fight by technical knockout in Round 2, resulting in break even on this Paddy Power price boost. *
