What are Odds Boosts offers

Odds boost offers (also called price boosts or enhanced odds) are special promotions from bookmakers that temporarily increase the payout odds on specific bets, like markets, player props, or accas. 

These boosts make a winning wager pay out 10%–40% more than usual. Oddsmart have developed an Odds Boost Matcher, which helps you automatically find matched bets coupled with Odds Boost offers from leading bookmakers.

How Odds Boosts Work

Bookmaker selects specific bets
often on major matches or events—and enhances the odds for a limited time.
Users see the boosted odds
clearly marked in-app or on-site; clicking the boosted price adds the selection to your betslip.
Maximum stake limits apply
usually £30–£50 per bet—and winnings may be paid in cash or free bets depending on the bookmaker.

Why They Matter in Matched Betting

From a matched-betting perspective, odds boosts are prime opportunities.  You can:
Back the boosted odds with the bookmaker
Lay the same selection at lower odds on an exchange
Lock in a guaranteed profit using a matched-betting calculator in “normal” mode.
Platforms like Oddsmart’s Odds Boost Matcher help you quickly find and assess boosts across bookmakers in one place.

Tips to Maximise Boosted Odds

Use your matched-betting calculator to check actual profit vs. implied edge.
Focus on boosts where your research supports the outcome—don’t bet just because the odds are flashy.
Be mindful of expiry times, stake caps, and whether the boost pays in cash or free bets.
