How It Works

⚡ What are Price Boosts?

Price boosts (also called odds boosts or enhanced odds) are promotions where bookmakers increase the odds on selected bets. Instead of the standard market odds, you get enhanced odds, giving you extra profit if your bet wins.

Example: A team is 2.00 to win, but the bookmaker boosts it to 2.50. If you bet $100 and win, you get $150 profit instead of $100 - an extra $50!

•Max stake limits mean you can't always capitalize fully
•Boosted odds usually can't be cashed out early
•Some bookmakers restrict accounts that only bet boosted odds

A price boost calculator works out the lay stake and guaranteed profit from enhanced odds offers, where a bookmaker temporarily offers higher-than-normal odds. By laying the boosted selection on an exchange, you lock in profit regardless of the result.

Enter your stake, the boosted odds, the normal exchange lay odds, and your commission rate. The calculator shows your lay stake, liability, and guaranteed profit.

Price Boost: A Worked Example

Setup: Team A boosted from 2.50 to 4.00. Stake: €25. Lay at 2.55, 5% commission.

Lay stake

Lay = (4.00 × 25) ÷ (2.55 − 0.05) = 100 ÷ 2.50 = €40

If Team A wins

Bookmaker: +€75. Exchange: −€62. Net: +€13

If Team A loses

Bookmaker: −€25. Exchange: +€38. Net: +€13

Guaranteed profit: €13 from €25 stake (52% ROI on qualifying stake).

Common Mistakes with Price Boosts

✕
Using boosted odds as the lay price. The boost is only at the bookmaker. Lay on the exchange at the normal market price.
✕
Ignoring maximum stake limits. Most price boosts cap stakes at €5-€25. Check the limit before calculating.
✕
Slow execution. Check exchange liquidity at the current lay price before placing the back bet, then lay immediately.
