Skybet Free Bet Offer – Brazil v Mexico

It’s time for another World Cup Skybet free bet offer!  If Brazil fail to beat Mexico in 90 minutes, Skybet will refund all losing first goalscorer, last goalscorer, correct score and scorecast singles as a free bet up to £25.00 the next day.  Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a risk-free potential profit of £7.29 and here’s how…

I always stick to the correct score markets for these types of offers and for this particular offer, we need to select a correct score that sees Brazil win the match.  This ensures that if Brazil fail to beat Mexico, we will qualify for the free bet as our qualifying bet will have lost.  Having looked at the odds on offer, I’ve opted to place my qualifying bet on 3-0 Brazil.

Place £25.00 on 3-0 Brazil @ 9.50 = Potential profit of £212.50

betfair

Lay £22.73 on 3-0 Brazil @ 10.50 = Potential liability of £215.94

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

3-0 Brazil +£212.50 – £215.94 = £3.44 loss
Brazil win by other scoreline -£25.00 + £21.59 = £3.41 loss
Brazil fail to win -£25.00 + £21.59 + £20.00 (extract 80% from our £25.00 free bet) = £16.59 profit

If you’re unsure how to extract 80% of our £25.00 free bet, check out my Free Bet Strategy page for a walkthrough guide on how it should be done.

So as things stand we will make £16.59 profit if Brazil fail to beat Mexico.  Unfortunately, we also stand to lose a maximum of £3.44 on a Brazil win and so we need to insure ourselves against this by backing Brazil.

Place £9.30 on Brazil @ 1.37 = Potential profit of £3.44

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

3-0 Brazil -£3.44 + £3.44 = £0.00
Brazil win by other scoreline -£3.41 + £3.44 = £0.03 profit
Brazil fail to win £16.59 – £9.30 = £7.29 profit

So if Brazil win, we will break even and there’s no harm done.  However, if Brazil fail to beat Mexico in 90 minutes, we will make a nice profit of £7.29!
