It’s the final of Britain’s Got Talent 2018 tonight and you don’t want to miss this Betfred ‘Bet £10, Get £5’ offer! Place a single bet of at least £10.00 on the winner of Britain’s Got Talent 2018 and Betfred will give us a £5.00 free bet to be used in play on the final. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £2.46 and here’s how…
Qualifying Bet:
If you’re unfamiliar with qualifying bets, please see my Qualifying Bet Strategy page for a walk-through guide on how it should be done.
Qualifying bets must be placed between 09:00 on Saturday 2nd June 2018 and 19:00 on Sunday 3rd June 2018, to be eligible.
Having looked at the odds available, we could place our qualifying bet on Lost Voice Guy.
We can find the lay market at Betfair via the following link trail…
Betfair Exchange > Special Bets > Britain’s Got Talent 2018
We can calculate our lay stakes using my matched betting calculator…
As you can see, the calculator tells us that our lay stake should be £9.17…
Place £10.00 on Lost Voice Guy @ 2.75 = Potential profit of £17.50
Lay £9.17 on Lost Voice Guy @ 3.05 = Potential liability of £18.79
Let’s have a look at our potential profit/loss for the possible outcomes…
| Lost Voice Guy wins | + £17.50 – £18.79 = £1.29 loss |
| Lost Voice Guy doesn’t win | – £10.00 + £8.71 (£9.17 minus 5% commission) = £1.29 loss |
So, regardless of the outcome, we’ll lose £1.29 in qualifying for our £5.00 free bet.
Free Bet:
Our £5.00 free bet will be credited within 30 minutes of live coverage of the Britain’s Got Talent Final 2018.
By using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to extract 75% out of the £5.00 free bet as cash, so £3.75. If we take into account our qualifying loss of £1.29, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £2.46 on this Betfred offer!
