Betway Offer – Premier League Darts 2017

It’s Week 13 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 27th April 2017) is as follows…

Start time Fixture
19:15 James Wade v Adrian Lewis
20:00 Dave Chisnall v Michael van Gerwen
20:45 Phil Taylor v Peter Wright
21:30 Gary Anderson v Raymond van Barneveld
22:15 Adrian Lewis v Michael van Gerwen

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. The lay odds and liquidity should improve in the build up to each match. In the meantime, I’ll use fictional odds for James Wade v Adrian Lewis in the following example and I’ll update the bottom of the post with my actual selections after the matches have been played.

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 Adrian Lewis @ 1.833 = Potential profit of £20.83

smarkets whiteLay £24.38 on Adrian Lewis @ 1.90 = Potential liability of £21.94

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

Lewis wins having won the first leg + £20.83 – £21.94 = £1.11 loss
Lewis wins having lost the first leg + £20.83 – £21.94 + £16.66 (extract 80% from £20.83 free bet) = £15.55 profit
Lewis doesn’t win – £25.00 + £23.89 = £1.11 loss

So, if Adrian Lewis wins having lost the first leg, we’ll make a nice profit of £15.55. Any other outcome and we’ll make a loss of £1.11. Risking £1.11 to make a profit of £15.55, gives us effective odds of 15.01, 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…

Wade v Lewis Lewis 1.833 1.98 £2.09 £14.58
