Outcomes

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

OutcomeBetfredBetfairProfit/Loss
Povetkin wins+ £27.50– £29.48£1.98 loss
Povetkin draws or loses– £10.00+ £8.02£1.98 loss

So, no matter the outcome, we’ll lose £1.98 in qualifying for our potential free bets.

Free bets

We’ll receive a £5.00 free bet for every round with an official knockdown recorded. Free bets will be credited within 24 hours of qualifying bet settlement and will be valid until 09:00 on Monday 29th March 2021.

If three rounds have an official knockdown recorded, we’ll receive £15.00 in free bets. Using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to convert our free bets into 80% cash, so £12.00. If we take into account our qualifying loss of £1.98, this gives us a potential profit of £10.02 on this Betfred offer!

For those of you who are unfamiliar with boxing, the odds are just 1.25 (1/4) for either fighter to be knocked down, so we’ll be unlucky not to at least make a small profit.

* Dillian Whyte landed a fight-winning knockdown in the 4th Round, resulting in a profit of £2.02 on this Betfred offer. *
