It’s a big day of Esports action on Saturday with the LEC Summer Split and you don’t want to miss this Betway ‘Bet £10, Get £10’ offer! Simply place a single bet on SK Gaming v Excel and Betway will give us a £10.00 free bet. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £7.32 and here’s how…
Key Terms:
- We must place a single bet on any SK Gaming v Excel 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 SK Gaming in the Match Winner market.
At the time of writing, laying our bet with Betfair gives us the smallest qualifying loss.
Betfair are currently offering new customers 0% commission up to £500 for the first 30 days.
If you’re an existing Betfair customer, you can opt in to pay just 2% commission by selecting their Basic reward plan.
For more information about My Betfair Rewards and how to opt in, please see my Betfair 2% Commission page.
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 £9.52…
Place £10.00 on SK Gaming @ 1.60 = Potential profit of £6.00
Lay £9.52 on SK Gaming @ 1.70 = Potential liability of £6.66
Outcomes:
Let’s have a look at our potential profit/loss for the possible outcomes…
| Outcome | Bookie | Exchange | Profit/Loss |
|---|---|---|---|
| SK Gaming win | +£6.00 | -£6.66 | £0.66 loss |
| SK Gaming don’t win | -£10.00 | +£9.32 | £0.68 loss |
So, regardless of the outcome, we’ll lose a maximum £0.68 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 £0.68, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £7.32 on this Betway offer!
* Excel won the match 1-0, resulting in a profit of £7.32 on this Betway offer. *
