Qualifying bet
If your bet loses, your stake will be refunded as a free bet, so you can treat this as a ‘Money Back if Bet Loses‘ offer.
You’ll need to build a bet you can lay at a betting exchange in one bet. Please see my ‘Bet Builders‘ guide for more information about them and possible selections.
At the time of writing, ‘Draw (Result) / Under 2.5 (Total goals)‘ is available to back at odds of 4.00 (3/1).
You can lay ‘Draw / under 2.5 goals‘ at Smarkets in their ‘Winner and over – 2.5‘ market at odds of 4.30.
If your qualifying bet is placed at odds of 5.00 (4/1) or greater and wins, 888sport will give you a £5.00 free bet, courtesy of their daily ‘4/1 Winner Offer’.
Either exchange works for this offer
Betfair and Smarkets are both great options for this offer. If you’ve not used one of them, now is a great time to give them a try.
- Money back as cash up to £20
- 0% commission for 60 days
You can work out your lay stake using the ‘Money Back if Bet Loses‘ setting on my Matched Betting Calculator. You can enter ‘£8.00‘ as your ‘Cashback’ figure as this is the amount you can expect to convert your £10.00 free bet into, should your bet lose.
As you can see, the calculator tells you that your lay stake should be £7.44.
Place £10.00 on ‘Draw / Under 2.5’ @ 4.00 = Potential profit of £30.00
Lay £7.44 on ‘Draw / under 2.5’ @ 4.30 = Potential liability of £24.55
Outcomes
Let’s look at your profit/loss for the possible outcomes.
| Outcome | 888sport | Smarkets | Free Bet | Profit/Loss |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0-0 or 1-1 draw | + £30.00 | – £24.55 | £5.45 profit | |
| Any other outcome | – £10.00 | + £7.44 | + £8.00 | £5.44 profit |
So, no matter the outcome, you’ll make a minimum profit of £5.44 on this 888sport offer!
If your qualifying bet loses, your free bet will be credited within 72 hours of settlement. Your free bet will be valid for 7 days, and the free bet stake will not be returned with any winnings.
