How To Make Money With Price Boosts

When the boosted back odds are higher than the betting exchange’s lay odds, you can lock in an instant profit.

Taking Sky Bet’s boost above as an example.

They are offering you odds of 2/1 (3.0) for Messi to have 2 or more shots on target in the match between Argentina and Mexico.

You can lay this bet using Matchbook‘s enhanced special at odds of 2.36.

Placing a back and lay bet on this price boost will lock you in a profit regardless of the outcome.

A Matched Betting calculator will show you the profit you can lock in: 

Using this price boost with a £10 back stake will lock you in £2.71.

There are 2 possible scenarios:

 

If Messi has 2 or more shots you will make £20 profit from Sky Bet.

You will also lose the liability amount of £17.29 from the lay bet losing.

This will leave you with £2.71 profit overall.

 

If Messi has 0 or 1 shot on target you will lose the £10 back stake at Sky Bet.

You will win the lay bet amount of £12.71 from the lay bet winning.

This will leave you with £2.71 profit overall.

Price Boosts Final Thoughts

You now know how to give your betting profits an easy boost.

You may have realised that price boosts follow the same process as Arbitrage betting.

Placing Arb bets is not recommended unless you are gubbed from a bookmaker account.

Price boosts differ because bookmakers are actively promoting the boosts to regular punters.

So placing these boosts help you blend in even though you are taking value.

The best Arb bets however are found using software and will make you stand out as an Arber/Matched Bettor.
