The NBA Finals 2017 are underway and Betsafe are getting in on the action! Place a £50.00 single in play bet on the next game of the NBA Finals 2017 and Betsafe will give us a £20.00 free bet to be used on the following NBA Finals game. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £30.00+ and here’s how…
Qualifying Bet:
If you’re unfamiliar with qualifying bets, please see my Qualifying Bet Strategy page for a walk-through guide on how they should be done.
We are entitled to one free bet per game, so we can take advantage of this offer multiple times.
To qualify for each £20.00 free bet, we must bet £50.00+ in play at odds of 1.80 (4/5) or greater on the next NBA Finals 2017 game…
| Game | Fixture | Tip-off | Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | Golden State Warriors @ Cleveland Cavaliers | 02:00 | Thursday 8th June 2017 |
| 4 | Golden State Warriors @ Cleveland Cavaliers | 02:00 | Saturday 10th June 2017 |
| 5 | Cleveland Cavaliers @ Golden State Warriors | 02:00 | Tuesday 13th June 2017 |
| 6 | Golden State Warriors @ Cleveland Cavaliers | – | If needed |
| 7 | Cleveland Cavaliers @ Golden State Warriors | – | If needed |
For those of you that are unfamiliar with basketball, the NBA Finals are a best of 7 series. Golden State Warriors won the series 4-1, meaning the final two games were not required.
It’s entirely up to you what you place your qualifying bet on. We’ll need to be quick when placing our qualifying bets as odds do fluctuate in play.
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 stakes using the matched betting calculator.
Aim to lose no more than £5.00 on our qualifying bet
Free Bet:
Our £20.00 free bet will be credited by 12:00 the following day and must be used on the next NBA Finals 2017 game. Free bets can be used pre-match or in play and should our qualifying bet be placed on a game which is a title decider (and so no NBA Finals game will be played afterwards), the free bet will be credited on any sport and will be valid for 7 days.
Before we are able to withdraw any winnings, we must wager them once at odds of 1.50 (1/2) or greater within 7 days. As we’ll be placing our free bet at high odds, hopefully our profit will go straight into our exchange accounts.
By using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to extract at least 75% of our £20.00 free bets as cash, so around £15.00. If we take into consideration our qualifying loss of £5.00, we should make a guaranteed profit of £10.00 on each game with this Betsafe offer!
* Extracting profit from our free bets was a little trickier than anticipated due to a lack of markets. Despite this we should still have been able to extract around 60% cash from our £20.00 free bets, giving us a guaranteed profit of £7.00 on each game. *
