888 Treble The Odds Welcome Offer
-
I saw the 888 Treble The Odds offer.
Is this the case we can apply Overlay?
Say, the odds are 4.00 888 vs 4.20 SMarkets, and I back maximum £10.
If I win in 888, my total winning will be £30 x 3 = £90
Thus after I overlay £33.55 (Lay Liability will be £107.36) rather than normal lay of £9.57,
– Back wins: + £90 (888) – £77.36 (SMarkets) = +£12.64
– Lay wins: – £10 (888) + £22.88 (SMarkets) = +£12.88
So, I can assure the guaranteed profit of around £12+.Can anybody confirm if my approach is correct or point out if I misunderstand any?

New to matched betting?
My Matched Betting Academy is the best place to get started. Learning the fundamentals takes 10-15 minutes and you’ll make £15 in the process.

Using the calculator just on the qualifying bet setting put £10 as stake, 10 (3/1 x 3 = 9 + 1) in the back odds and 4.2 in the lay odds (2% commission) gives you a guaranteed profit of £13.44
+0Tony, you’re absolutely right, thanks.
+0Just worth mentioning that the treble odds winnings will come via free bets. This means, unless you’re good at extracting money from free bets, you’ll only win 70-80% of the extra winnings from the triple odds. You can of course extract 100%+ if you find a good arb, but I know most people don’t early on in their matching betting learning.
So you’ll probably want to adjust your calculations based on that – i.e. you might get 45-50 quid extra rather than 60 (haven’t read the calculations but that’s just an example).
