BetVictor Free Bet Offer – Leyton Orient v Rotherham

I love the BetVictor free bet offers because their odds are some of the most competitive around.  If the League One Play-Off Final between Leyton Orient and Rotherham goes to a Penalty Shoot-Out, 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 £19.82!  And here’s how…

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.

Ordinarily, I would say we need to avoid selecting a correct score that is a draw as this would ensure that our qualifying bet has lost if the game is decided by a penalty shootout.  However, having looked at the odds available, betting on a 0-0 draw gives us the least risk and therefore I’m happy to take a chance on it finishing 1-1, 2-2 or 3-3 instead.

 

Step 1:

betvictor

Place £25.00 on 0-0 draw @ 13.00 = Potential profit of £300.00

betfair

Lay £26.10 on 0-0 draw @ 12.50 = Potential liability of £300.15

Step 2:

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

 

0-0 draw

+£300.00 – £300.15 = £0.15 loss

Not 0-0 draw and penalties

-£25.00 + £24.82 + £20.00 (Assumes an 80% return from our £25.00 free bet) = £19.82 profit

Not 0-0 draw without penalties

-£25.00 + £24.82 = £0.18 loss

 

So we will make £19.82 profit if the game doesn’t finish 0-0 and the match goes to penalties!  If the game finishes 0-0 or doesn’t go to penalties, we will make a maximum loss of £0.18, which I’m sure you’ll agree is a risk worth taking as Play-Off Finals are traditionally tight affairs.
