BetVictor Free Bet Offer – Brazil v Mexico

I love the BetVictor free bet offers because their odds are some of the most competitive around.  If a red card is shown at any time during the Brazil v Mexico match, BetVictor will refund losing correct score, First/Last/Anytime Goalscorer, Half-Time/Full-Time, Scorecast & Spincast bets as a FREE BET up to £25.00.  Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential profit of £18.85 and here’s how…

Qualifying bet

If you’d like more information about qualifying bets and how they work, please see my qualifying bets guide.

Whenever I do these BetVictor free bet offers, I always stick to the correct score market. I find the liquidity at the betting exchange is far better than goalscorer markets and I just feel more comfortable here. 

It’s entirely up to you which score you go for. Having looked at the odds available, we could place our qualifying bet on a 1-1 draw.

Outcomes

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

OutcomeBetVictorBetfairFree BetProfit/Loss
1-1 draw+ £262.50– £263.65£1.15 loss
Not 1-1 draw and red card– £25.00+ £23.85+ £20.00£18.85 profit
Not 1-1 draw without red card– £25.00+ £23.85£1.15 loss

So, we’ll make a nice profit of £18.85 if the match isn’t drawn 1-1 and there’s a red card and we stand to lose £1.15 on any other outcome. Risking £1.15 to make a profit of £18.85 gives us effective odds of 17.39. So, given that the odds are just 4.20 (16/5) for a red card to be shown, this is a profitable offer in the long run.

If you’re unsure how to convert your £10.00 free bet into £8.00 cash (80%), please see my free bets guide for a walkthrough of how it should be done.
