It’s the Premier League Darts Play-Offs 2017 tonight 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 18th May 2017) is as follows…
| Start time | Fixture |
|---|---|
| 19:20 | Michael Van Gerwen v Gary Anderson |
| 20:30 | Peter Wright v Phil Taylor |
| Later | The Final |
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 Peter Wright 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…
As you can see, the calculator tells us that our lay stake should be £23.95…
Place £25.00 on Phil Taylor @ 2.625 = Potential profit of £40.63
Lay £23.95 on Phil Taylor @ 2.76 = Potential liability of £42.15
Let’s have a look at our potential profit/loss for the possible outcomes…
| Taylor wins having won the first leg | + £40.63 – £42.15 = £1.52 loss |
| Taylor wins having lost the first leg | + £40.63 – £42.15 + £20.00 (extract 80% from £25.00 free bet) = £18.48 profit |
| Taylor doesn’t win | – £25.00 + £23.47 = £1.53 loss |
So, if Phil Taylor wins having lost the first leg, we’ll make a nice profit of £18.48. Any other outcome and we’ll make a maximum loss of £1.53. Risking £1.53 to make a profit of £18.48, gives us effective odds of 13.08, which I’m sure you’ll agree, makes this a profitable offer in the long run.
This offer is available on both Semi-Finals and then the Final. 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…
| Fixture | Selection | Back Odds | Lay Odds | Qualifying Loss | Potential Profit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Van Gerwen v Anderson | Anderson | 3.40 | 3.60 | £1.74 | £18.28 |
| Wright v Taylor | Taylor | 2.625 | 2.76 | £1.53 | £18.48 |
| Van Gerwen v Wright | Van Gerwen | 1.25 | 1.23 | +£0.31 | £4.69 |
