What is an Odds Boost?
Enhanced odds go by a number of different names, depending on the bookie – Odds Boost, Odds Booster, Price Boost, Supercharge, Super Boost, Power Price and many more. They all essentially mean the same thing in that it's a selected market that is given a little bump in the odds offered. Maybe from 1.53 up to 2.0, or 6.0 up to 7.0, 15.0 up to 20.0 and so on. Generally, the lower the starting odds, the smaller the increase.
Sometimes, if the boost is a big one, the amount that you can stake will be limited to a maximum, but not always.
Generally, the sport where you see the most enhanced odds and price boosts is, unsurprisingly, football. That's where the biggest interest is and so it makes sense that it's also the place with the most marketing and promotion. Most bookies will offer this on a weekly basis (such as the weekend), but others, like bet365, William Hill, Paddy Power and a few more, will do daily boosts. And these go across a number of different markets.
Enhanced odds are also fairly commonplace for horse racing, too. Mostly these are for to win markets, but you can also find them for Place, and Over a certain number of lengths. If there is a big meeting, such as Cheltenham or Ascot, expect these types of enhanced odds offers to ramp up.
1 - Kwiff's Supercharge Odds
Kwiff bettors will always have the chance that their bet gets supercharged – and this is what helps the popular bookie rank so highly for enhanced odds.
This is done on a random basis, and punters won’t know until after the bet has been placed, but if it is, the odds will be supercharged and offer a much bigger payout. This isn’t a boost from 2/1 to 3/1 or the like, sometimes those odds will be Kwiffed ten-fold, so instantly become 20/1. Some are at smaller increases (my first Kwiff was 4.06 up to 5.04), but there have been cases in which they’ve been increased by 20 times. It can be an absolute game-changer.
It's worth noting that this is all on top of markets having more standardised enhanced odds and boosts, as well as other Kwiff free bets options.

bet365 offer their Bet Boosts across multiple sports, in multiple markets, every day. Punters can see which markets have been boosted along the top of the sport's section, along with how much money has been staked.
In the image below you can see boosts on football, darts and some other sports and is typical of bet365. On top of this, a few times of week (maybe three or four) they will so a Super Boost for one particular market. This, as you may expect, has a bigger increase, but the stake is limited. The limit is different for each user and depends on how much you've bet in the past, with more loyal customers getting higher limits.
