Hartlepool host Leyton Orient in a lunchtime kick-off today and BetBright are running a great little in-play offer! Simply place a £10.00 correct score bet on Hartlepool v Leyton Orient and if it loses, BetBright will refund our stake as a free bet to be used in play on Portsmouth v AFC Wimbledon at 14:30. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £4.05 and here’s how…
Qualifying Bet:
We need to find a selection that has tight back and lay odds. If we underlay our bet instead of matching it completely, we can guarantee ourselves a profit on any outcome. Having looked at the odds available, I’ve opted to place my qualifying bet on 2-1 Leyton Orient.
I like to place my exchange lay bets with Smarkets as they have great liquidity, the site is really easy to use and they only charge 2% commission in comparison to the 5% charged by other betting exchanges.
We can calculate our lay stake using the matched betting calculator…
As you can see, the calculator tells us that our lay stake should be £6.68…
Place £10.00 on 2-1 Leyton Orient @ 7.75 = Potential profit of £67.50
Lay £6.68 on 2-1 Leyton Orient @ 10.50 = Potential liability of £63.45
Let’s have a look at our potential profit/loss for the possible outcomes…
| 2-1 Leyton Orient | +£67.50 – £63.45 = £4.05 profit |
| Not 2-1 Leyton Orient | -£10.00 + £6.55 + £7.50 (extract 75% from our £10.00 free bet) = £4.05 profit |
So regardless of the result of the match, we will make a guaranteed profit of £4.05 on this BetBright offer!
If our qualifying bet loses, our free bet will be credited before Portsmouth v AFC Wimbledon kicks off at 14:30.
If you’re not sure how to extract 75% of the £10.00 free bet, please see my Free Bet Strategy page for a walk-through guide on how it should be done.
