What Profit Boost means

A profit boost is a promotional token that increases a specific bet's payout odds by a set percentage - commonly anywhere from 25% to 100%. Profit boosts are frequently applied to parlays specifically, since boosting a parlay's already-inflated payout offsets some of the compounding vig baked into multi-leg pricing, making boosts one of the few promotional tools that can meaningfully shift the math in a bettor's favor rather than simply being a marketing gesture.
