In this article, we propose a risk-based overbooking model, in which an overbooking limit is chosen such that an expected profit is maximized. We derive an optimality condition, when a show demand given a total number of  reservations follows a binomial distribution. We also determine a directional change of  the optimal overbooking limit with respect to various model parameters, such as a show-up probability, a per-unit revenue and a per-unit oversale cost. Finally, we show that the optimal expected profit decreases, if  the show-up probability increases.
