Golden Guardians v Evil Geniuses Offer – Betway

It’s Golden Guardians v Evil Geniuses in the League of Legends Championship Series on Saturday and you don’t want to miss this Betway free bet offer! Simply place a single bet on Golden Guardians v Evil Geniuses and Betway will give us a £10.00 free bet. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £7.08 and here’s how…

Key Terms:

  • We must place a single bet on any Golden Guardians v Evil Geniuses market.
  • Qualifying bets must be placed at odds of 1.25 (1/4) or greater.
  • Maximum matched free bet of £10.00.

Qualifying Bet:

If you’re unsure about how to place qualifying bets, check out my Qualifying Bet Strategy page for a walk-through guide on how they should be done.

It’s entirely up to you what you place your qualifying bet on. Having looked at the odds available, we could place our qualifying bet on Evil Geniuses in the Match Winner market.

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

If you’re not yet signed up, Smarkets are currently offering a £10.00 welcome bonus for new customers.

Place £10.00 on Evil Geniuses @ 1.40 = Potential profit of £4.00

Smarkets logo

Lay £9.27 on Evil Geniuses @ 1.53 = Potential liability of £4.91

Outcomes:

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

Outcome Bookie Exchange Profit/Loss
Evil Geniuses win +£4.00 -£4.91 £0.91 loss
Evil Geniuses don’t win -£10.00 +£9.08 £0.92 loss

So, regardless of the outcome, we’ll lose a maximum of £0.92 in qualifying for our £10.00 free bet.

Free Bet:

Our £10.00 free bet will be credited within 24 hours of our qualifying bet being settled and will be valid for 7 days. Free bet stakes are not included in any returns.

By using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to extract 80% cash from our £10.00 free bet, so £8.00. If we take into account our maximum qualifying loss of £0.92, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £7.08 on this Betway offer!

* Golden Guardians won the match 1-0, resulting in a profit of £7.08 on this Betway offer. *
