NBA Profit Boost Offer – Unibet

There’s plenty of NBA action to look forward to in the early hours of Saturday morning and you don’t want to miss this Unibet offer! They’re giving customers a 25% profit boost to use on any match! Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £3.29 and here’s how…

Key Terms:

  • This offer can be found behind door number 21 on Unibet’s Advent Calendar 2018 page.
  • Maximum stake of £50.00.
  • Our profit boost will be available from 00:00 on Friday 21st December 2018 until 23:59 on Saturday 22nd December 2018.
  • Our profit boost will be visible in our betslip once we have selected an eligible NBA bet.

Qualifying bet:

If you’re unfamiliar with qualifying bets, please see my Qualifying Bet Strategy page for a walk-through guide on how it should be done.

Once selected in our betslip, the profit boost will boost our odds by 25%.

Having looked at the odds available, we could place our qualifying bet on Indiana Pacers to beat Brooklyn Nets.

At the time of writing, the back odds are 1.74, so we need to work out what our new odds will be once the 25% profit boost has been applied…

1.74 – 1.00 (stake) = 0.74
0.74 * 1.25 (25%) = 0.925
0.925 + 1.00 (stake) = 1.925

At the time of writing, laying our bet at Smarkets gives us the biggest guaranteed profit.

We can calculate our lay stake using my matched betting calculator.
