Learn what price boosts are and how to use them effectively.
A price boost is when a bookmaker temporarily increases the odds on a selection (sometimes an acca). If the boosted back odds are higher than the exchange lay odds, you can often lock in a small instant profit by backing at the bookie and laying on the exchange.
1) Find a boost on a popular market.
2) Check the matching lay market and liquidity on the exchange.
3) Enter numbers into your calculator (normal mode), including commission.
4) Place the back bet at the boosted price, then the lay bet at the exchange price.
You can use our standard calculator to calculate your stake and profit.
Stick to big events so your lay bet matches quickly. Avoid obscure ‘specials’ that don’t have a lay market. Read any terms (max stake, in-play only, boost times). Keep your staking natural on the bookmaker to help account health over time.
You can still lay price boosts if they are an accumulator, however, this does require some advanced techniques which we will cover in future guides.
