Matched Betting Hub
The Match Betting Hub (MBH) is your dedicated space for match betting on Smarkets. We've added three core features to the Hub;
- Specials
- Matched Betting Calculator
- Advanced Search and Filters
Here’s a guide to each feature and how to make the most of them.
Specials
In our Specials section, you can easily find Boosted prices that offer Matched Bettors a positive EV.
It gives you key information such as:
- Which Sportsbook has the offer
- What the offer is
- Selections and Boosted Price
- Your optimum stake based on a £10 back bet
- How much Profit you stand to win regardless of the outcome
As you can see from the first Special. If you were to place a £10 bet on Virgin Bet's Boosted price and Lay £11.27 on Smarkets, then you would guarantee yourself a return of £1.27.
If there are a lot of Specials available, you can click the See More button on the right-hand side of the Specials and then you can filter by the Sportsbook and Competition.
Matched Betting Calculator
The MBH Calculator is an essential tool for planning and calculating your bets efficiently. It allows you to:
- Calculate Stake Requirements – Based on the odds and stakes involved, the calculator will give you the ideal stakes for your back and lay bets.
- See Potential Profit or Loss – Instantly view the potential outcomes of your bets, helping you decide if the opportunity aligns with your strategy.
- Adjust Variables on the Fly – Experiment with different odds, stakes, and commission rates to fine-tune your betting setup for the most favourable results.
You can find this on the right-hand side of the Matched Betting Hub.
