Place an Exchange bet of up to £10.00 on ‘Under 2.5 Goals’, and if your bet loses, your stake will be refunded as a free bet.

Qualifying bet
If your qualifying bet loses, Betfair will refund your stake as a free bet, so you can treat this as a ‘Money Back if Bet Loses‘ offer.
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 that 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 £4.84.
Place £10.00 on ‘Under 2.5 Goals’ @ 1.63 = Potential profit of £5.98
Lay £4.84 on ‘Under 2.5’ (Goals Over/Under) @ 1.65 = Potential liability of £3.14
Outcomes
Let’s look at your profit/loss for the possible outcomes.
| Outcome | Betfair | Exchange | Free Bet | Profit/Loss |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Under 2.5 goals | + £5.98 | – £3.14 | £2.84 profit | |
| Over 2.5 goals | – £10.00 | + £4.84 | + £8.00 | £2.84 profit |
So, no matter the outcome, you’ll profit £2.84 on this Betfair Exchange offer!
