The Sky’s The Limit

Posted on May 26, 2011 by  

Next up on our Champions League profit trail comes Skybet, with a very nice refund offer that should appeal to everyone.

If either Lionel Messi OR Wayne Rooney score during 90 minutes on Saturday we will refund all losing goalscorer, correct score and scorecast bets!

All you need to do is find a close matchup in odds on any of the above markets to back and lay. Then lay a few £’s on Rooney or Messi as an “Anytime Scorer” on Betfair. We will publish some examples once the scorer markets are up on Betfair but they should be available at a decent price to lay so we should be able to lock in a few quid here.

UPDATE: Prices not great so not much to go on at the moment…..

Basically look to BACK / LAY 0-0 for £50, then LAY Rooney (4) or Messi (2.64) in the TO SCORE market to lock in the profit.

BACK 0-0 @ SKYBET with £50 @ 7.5
LAY 0-0 @ BETFAIR with £39.27 @ 9.6 (£337.72 to cover)

LAY MESSI (To Score) with £19.41 @ 2.64 (£25.32 to cover)

Outcomes:

0-0 – Lose £12.69 on correct score / Win £18.44 on MESSI = £5.74

Not 0-0 / MESSI doesn’t score – Lose £12.69 on correct score / Win £18.44 on MESSI = £5.74

Not 0-0 / MESSI does score – Lose £12.69 on correct score / Lose £31.83 on MESSI = -£44.52

With the £50 refund to come to give you £5.48 profit

The bonus would be that Rooney scores and Messi doesn’t as you would get the free bet refund and the profit. So maybe if the odds improve could look at switching the bet around if you think Messi has more chance of scoring.

All the calculations can be done using our ever so handy spreadsheet, as featured in the Paddypower cashback offer here….
