2019 World Matchplay Darts Offer – Betfred

It’s the 2019 World Matchplay Semi-Finals on Saturday and you don’t want to miss this Betfred ‘Bet £10, Get £5’ offer! Place a single bet of £10.00 or more on Rob Cross v Daryl Gurney or Glen Durrant v Michael Smith and Betfred will give us a £5.00 free bet to use on Sunday’s final. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £3.50 and here’s how…

Key Terms:

  • We must place a single bet of £10.00 or more.
  • Qualifying bets must be placed at odds of 1.50 (1/2) or greater.
  • Applies to bets placed on Saturday 27th July 2019.

Qualifying Bet:

If you’re unfamiliar with qualifying bets, please see my Qualifying Bet Strategy page for a walk-through guide on how it should be done.

Having looked at the odds available, we could place our qualifying bet on Glen Durrant to beat Michael Smith.

At the time of writing, laying our bet at Smarkets gives us the smallest qualifying loss.

We can calculate our lay stakes using my matched betting calculator…

As you can see, the calculator tells us that our lay stake should be £9.70…

Place £10.00 on Glen Durrant @ 1.727 = Potential profit of £7.27

Smarkets logo

Lay £9.70 on Glen Durrant @ 1.80 = Potential liability of £7.76

Outcomes:

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

Outcome Bookie Exchange Profit/Loss
Glen Durrant wins +£7.27 -£7.76 £0.49 loss
Glen Durrant doesn’t win -£10.00 +£9.50 £0.50 loss

So, regardless of the outcome, we’ll lose a maximum of £0.50 in qualifying for our £5.00 free bet.

Free Bet:

Our £5.00 free bet will be credited by 17:00 on Sunday 28th July 2019 and will be valid until 09:00 on Monday 29th July 2019.

By using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to extract 80% cash from our £5.00 free bet, so £4.00. If we take into account our maximum qualifying loss of £0.50, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £3.50 on this Betfred offer!

* Michael Smith won the match 17-10, resulting in a profit of £3.50 on this Betfred offer. *
