Betway Offer – Premier League Darts 2017

It’s Week 15 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 £63.02 and here’s how…

Qualifying Bets:

The schedule for tonight (Thursday 11th May 2017) is as follows…

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

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. Having looked at the odds available for Michael Van Gerwen v Gary Anderson, I’ve opted to place my qualifying bet on Gary Anderson.

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 Gary Anderson @ 4.00 = Potential profit of £75.00

smarkets whiteLay £25.77 on Gary Anderson @ 3.90 = Potential liability of £74.73

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

Anderson wins having won the first leg + £75.00 – £74.73 = £0.27 profit
Anderson wins having lost the first leg + £75.00 – £74.73 + £20.00 (extract 80% from £25.00 free bet) = £20.27 profit
Anderson doesn’t win – £25.00 + £25.25 = £0.25 profit

So, if Gary Anderson wins having lost the first leg, we’ll make a nice profit of £20.27. Any other outcome and we’ll make a small profit of at least £0.25.

This offer is available on all four matches. It’s entirely up to you what you place your qualifying bets on, but here’s what I’ll be going for…

Fixture Selection Back Odds Lay Odds Qualifying Loss Potential Profit
Chisnall v Wade Chisnall 1.727 1.79 £1.09 £13.45
Taylor v Lewis Taylor 1.833 1.92 £1.36 £15.30
Wright v van Barneveld Wright 1.727 1.75 £0.54 £14.00
Van Gerwen v Anderson Anderson 4.00 3.90 +£0.25 £20.27
