Betway Offer – Premier League Darts 2017

It’s Week 12 of the Premier League Darts 2017 and you don’t want to miss this Betway offer! Simply place a Win/Draw/Win bet on any match in the Betway Premier League, and if the player we back loses the first leg and wins the match, Betway will double our winnings as a free bet, up to £25.00. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us an overall potential profit of £50.00+ and here’s how…

Qualifying Bets:

The schedule for tonight (Thursday 20th April 2017) is as follows…

Start time Fixture
19:15 Dave Chisnall v Adrian Lewis
20:05 Phil Taylor v Gary Anderson
20:55 Peter Wright v James Wade
21:40 Michael van Gerwen v Raymond van Barneveld
22:10 Dave Chisnall v Phil Taylor

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.

If our selection loses the first leg and goes on to win the match, Betway will double our winnings as a free bet, up to a maximum of £25.00.

In darts, the player who throws first in a leg has the advantage and is expected to win the leg. The player listed first in the above fixtures will throw first in the first leg.

It’s entirely up to you who you go for. Having looked at the odds available for Dave Chisnall v Phil Taylor, I’ve opted to place my qualifying bet on Phil Taylor.

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 stake using my matched betting calculator…

Place £25.00 on Phil Taylor @ 2.00 = Potential profit of £25.00

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

Taylor wins having won the first leg + £25.00 – £25.25 = £0.25 loss
Taylor wins having lost the first leg + £25.00 – £25.25 + £20.00 (extract 80% from £25.00 free bet) = £19.75 profit
Taylor doesn’t win – £25.00 + £24.74 = £0.26 loss

So, if Phil Taylor wins having lost the first leg, we’ll make a nice profit of £19.75. Any other outcome and we’ll make a maximum loss of £0.26. Risking £0.26 to make a profit of £19.75, gives us effective odds of 76.96, which I’m sure you’ll agree, makes this a profitable offer in the long run.

This offer is available on all five matches. It’s entirely up to you what you place your qualifying bets on. I’ll update the following table with my actual selections once the matches have been played…
