Skybet Free Bet Offer – Spain v Holland

It’s time for another World Cup Skybet free bet offer!  If Spain lose or draw against Holland, 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 guaranteed risk-free profit of £5.65 and here’s how…

 

Qualifying Bet:

If you’re unsure about how to place qualifying bets, check out my Qualifying Bet Strategy page for a walkthrough guide on how it should be done.  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 Spain win the match.  This ensures that we qualify for the free bet in the event that Spain fail to beat Holland as our qualifying bet will have lost.

Place £25.00 on 1-0 Spain @ 6.00 = Potential profit of £125.00

Lay £22.90 on 1-0 Spain @ 6.60 = Potential liability of £128.24

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

 

Spain win +£125.00 – £128.24 = £3.24 loss
Spain don’t win -£25.00 + £21.76 + £20.00 (extract 80% from our £25.00 free bet) = £16.76 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 £16.76 profit if Spain don’t beat Holland.  Unfortunately, we also stand to lose £3.24 if Spain to manage to beat Holland and so we need to insure ourselves against this by backing Spain.

Place £11.11 on Spain @ 1.80 = Potential profit of £8.89

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

 

Spain win -£3.24 + £8.89 = £5.65 profit
Spain don’t win £16.76 – £11.11 = £5.65 profit

 

As you can see, regardless of the result of the game, we will make a guaranteed risk-free profit of £5.65!
