Betbright Free Bet Offer – World Cup Golden Boot

This Betbright free bet offer is one of the best World Cup offers around.  Simply place £25.00 on the top goal scorer market at the World Cup 2014 and Betbright will give us a £5.00 free bet every time he scores!  Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential profit of £20.20 and here’s how…

Qualifying bet

If you’re new to matched betting, have a look at my Qualifying Bet Strategy page for a walkthrough of how you should place your qualifying bets.  For this offer, it makes sense to place our qualifying bet on one of the favourites as this requires the least money in our betting exchange account to lay.  Having looked at the odds available, I’ve opted for Lionel Messi.  Argentina have a favourable group and should have a deep run in this year’s tournament.

betbright

Place £25.00 on Lionel Messi @ 8.00 = Potential profit of £175.00

betfair

Lay £22.35 on Lionel Messi @ 9.00 = Potential liability of £178.80

Let’s have a look at our potential profit/loss for the two outcomes…

Messi wins Golden Boot

+£175.00 – £178.80 = £3.80 loss

Messi doesn’t win Golden Boot

-£25.00 + £21.23 = £3.77 loss

So we will make a maximum loss of £3.80 in qualifying for this offer.

Free bets

Every time Lionel Messi scores at the World Cup in 90 minutes or extra-time, we will receive a £5.00 free bet.  By using straightforward matched betting, we are able to extract 80% of any free bet (see my Free Bet Strategy page), which in this case gives us £4.00 profit per free bet.  This means we only need Messi to score once to break even and any more after that is clear profit.  A Golden Boot winner typically scores approximately 6 goals which gives us a potential overall profit of £20.20!

* Lionel Messi went on to score 4 goals at the World Cup 2014, giving us £20.00 in free bets, 80% of which was extracted as cash.  Taking into account our qualifying loss of £3.77, we made an overall profit of £12.23! *
