Place £10.00 on Dereck Chisora @ 6.00 = Potential profit of £50.00

Lay £9.12 on Dereck Chisora @ 6.60 = Potential liability of £51.07

Outcomes:

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

Outcome Bookie Exchange Profit/Loss
Dereck Chisora wins + £50.00 – £51.07 £1.07 loss
Dereck Chisora doesn’t win – £10.00 + £8.93 £1.07 loss

So, regardless of the outcome, we’ll lose £1.07 in qualifying for our potential free bets.

Free Bets:

We’ll receive a £5.00 free bet for every official knockdown that is recorded. Free bets will be credited within 24 hours of our qualifying bet being settled and will be valid until 09:00 on Monday 2nd November 2020.

If three official knockdowns are 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 £1.07, this gives us a potential profit of £10.93 on this Betfred offer!

* Oleksandr Usyk won the fight on points and there were no knockdowns, resulting in a loss of £1.07 on this Betfred offer. *
