Australia lose or draw– £10.00+ £9.30£0.70 loss

So, no matter the outcome, we’ll lose a maximum of £0.70 in qualifying for our £5.00 free bet.

Free bet

Our £5.00 free bet will be credited within 24 hours of the 2nd Test starting and valid for 4 days.

Using straightforward matched betting, we should convert our free bet into 80% cash, so £4.00. If we take into account our maximum qualifying loss of £0.70, this gives us a minimum profit of £3.30 on this Grosvenor offer!

* Australia won the 2nd Test, resulting in £3.31 profit on this Grosvenor offer. *
