the market price is the number the same selection carries everywhere else; the boosted price is what this offer quotes for it. Across the 540 single-selection boosts sampled the mean market price was 2.75 and the mean boosted price 3.17, a mean uplift of +15.3%, and the mean implied chance of the selection fell from 39.8% to 34.6%.
Direct answer

The ten answers below cover the mechanism end to end: what an uplifted price is, what the cap does, what the uplift is worth on a small and a large stake, when the price reverts, and how a boosted price is settled. Each carries the figure the invented samples produced.

The questions, in full

q01

What is an uplifted price?

An offer that quotes better odds than the same selection carries at the market price, on terms the operator sets. Nothing is added to the account and nothing is subtracted from it; only the price of the selection changes. On the desk samples the mean offer moved the price by +15.3%, from 2.75 to 3.17.

q02

Is a price boost the same as a free bet?

No. A free bet adds a stake that is not yours and usually pays winnings without the stake. A boost changes the price of a stake that is yours and pays it in full if the selection wins. A boost carries no wagering requirement, because nothing is credited.

q03

What does the maximum stake on a boost do?

It limits how much of your bet is taken at the boosted price. Stake above the cap is taken at the ordinary market price. Across the samples 68.9% of offers capped the qualifying stake at 10.00, and the whole stake qualified on only 31.1% of offers.

q04

What is a boosted price actually worth?

The price difference multiplied by the stake, when the selection wins, and the same figure multiplied by the chance of winning when averaged across outcomes. On a 2.50 to 3.00 boost that is 5.00 on a 10.00 stake if it wins and 2.00 on average.

q05

Does staking more get more out of a boost?

Only up to the cap, and only in proportion to the stake inside it. On a 10.00 cap the same offer added 2.00 at a 10.00 stake and 2.00 at a 100.00 stake: 20.0% of the smaller stake and 2.0% of the larger.

q06

How much extra does an acca boost add?

The step grows with the number of legs: about +5.0% at two legs, +10.0% at three, +15.0% at four and +20.0% at five or more in the sample, a mean of +14.8% on a mean slip of 3.4 legs. The chance of every leg landing falls much faster than the step rises.

q07

Why was my boosted bet settled at the ordinary price?

Because one of the revert routes applied: the selection changed or was withdrawn (43.6% of sampled reverts), the market was resettled (28.2%), the boosted selection was not in the final slip (17.9%), or the operator declared a manifest error (10.3%). In the sample 14.4% of boosts reverted.

q08

Can an operator take back a boosted price?

It can settle at the market price under the conditions it named, including a declared manifest error. The desk does not claim how an operator ought to exercise that term, only that it exists in the sampled conditions and accounted for 10.3% of reverts.

q09

Is a boost token better than a market-wide boost?

They differ in three fields rather than in quality: who chooses the selection, how large the cap is, and how long the window lasts. A token gives the account the choice and a longer clock; a market-wide boost removes the choice, usually raises the cap and holds for hours.

q10

Does the desk tell me whether to take a boost?

No, and it will not. It explains how an uplifted price is quoted, capped, reverted and settled, using ten invented samples. Whether an offer suits a particular reader depends on a stake and a bankroll the desk does not know, and it gives no financial, legal or tax advice and ranks no offer.
