Betfair Offer – Premier League Top Goalscorer 2015/16

The Premier League is back and we don’t want to miss this Betfair offer!  Simply place a £25.00 bet on any player in the Premier League Top Goalscorer market and Betfair will give us a £5.00 free bet for every game he scores in between now and 31st October 2015.  Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential profit of £86.50 and here’s how…

Betfair Top Scorer

Qualifying Bet:

If you’re unfamiliar with qualifying bets, please see my Qualifying Bet Strategy page for a walkthrough guide on how to place your qualifying bets.

To qualify for this offer, we must place our qualifying bet before 00:00 on 1st September 2015.

It’s entirely up to you who you place your qualifying bet on.  Having looked at the odds available, I’ve opted to place my qualifying bet on Sergio Aguero.

Ordinarily I would advise laying our selection at Smarkets to minimise our qualifying loss. Personally, I’m not a fan of having money tied up in my exchange accounts for any length of time. Aguero should bag us a few free bets to cover the outlay, so I’m just going to let this one run.

If you do decide to lay it, 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 the matched betting calculator.

Free Bets:

We will receive a £5.00 free bet for every game in which Sergio Aguero scores between now and 31st October 2015. Free bets will be credited within 12 hours of each match ending and will be valid for 48 hours.

By using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to extract 80% out of any free bets we receive.  Say for example, Sergio Aguero scores in 6 of Manchester City’s 11 fixtures.  We would receive £30.00 worth (6 x £5.00) of free bets,  £24.00 of which would be extracted as cash.  If we take into account our potential qualifying profit of £62.50, this gives us a potential overall profit of £86.50!

* Sergio Aguero scored in just 2 of Manchester City’s opening 11 Premier League games. He also fell just short of being the top goalscorer, finishing on one goal less than Harry Kane. This gave me an overall loss of £17.00 on this Betfair offer. *
