A great in-play offer from Betfair. Grab an In-Play free bet on the WGC Matchplay Championship. Place a minimum £10.00 PRE-TOURNAMENT Outright Winner bet on the WGC MATCHPLAY CHAMPIONSHIP and you will receive (at tee off time) a £5.00 free bet to be used IN-PLAY ONLY on the same tournament. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a minimum guaranteed profit of £3.27. And here’s how…
Step 1:
Having looked at the odds available, I’ve decided to place my WGC Matchplay Championship bet on Rory McIlroy to win.
Place £10.00 on Rory McIlroy @ Betfair Sportsbook @ 17.00 = Potential profit of £160.00.
Lay £10.03 on Rory McIlroy @ Ladbrokes Exchange @ 17.00 = Potential liability of £160.48.
Step 2:
Let’s have a look at our current potential profit/loss for the two outcomes…
Rory McIlroy wins |
+£160.00 – £160.48 = £0.48 loss |
Rory McIlroy doesn’t win |
-£10.00 + £9.53 (£10.03 minus 5% commission) = £0.47 loss |
So regardless of the outcome, we will lose a maximum of £0.48 in order to claim our £5.00 in-play free bet.
Step 3:
Our account will be credited with the free bet on 20th February 2014. By using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to extract at least 75% of this free bet, so approximately £3.75. If we take into consideration our initial maximum loss of £0.48, we should make a minimum guaranteed PROFIT OF £3.27 on this offer.
