Bwin Free Bet Offer – Brazil v Croatia

Say hello to this cracker of a Bwin free bet offer!  Back Brazil to beat Croatia and if they fail to win, Bwin will refund our stake as a free bet up to a maximum of £50.00!  That’s money back if Brazil lose – or even draw!  Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a minimum guaranteed profit of £7.50 and here’s how…

Qualifying Bet

If you’re unsure about how to place qualifying bets, check out my Qualifying Bet Strategy page for a walkthrough guide on how it should be done.

Place £50.00 on Brazil @ 1.30 = Potential profit of £15.00

betfair

Lay £50.00 on Brazil @ 1.35 = Potential liability of £17.50

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

 

Brazil win +£15.00 – £17.50 = £2.50 loss
Brazil don’t win -£50.00 + £47.50 + £40.00 (extract 80% from our £50.00 free bet) = £37.50 profit

 

If you’re unsure how to extract 80% of our £50.00 free bet, check out my Free Bet Strategy page for a walkthrough guide on how it should be done.

So as things stand we will make £37.50 profit if Brazil fail to beat Croatia.  Unfortunately, we also stand to lose £2.50 if Brazil do beat Croatia and so we need to insure ourselves against this by backing Brazil.  I’ve done a quick odds comparison and at the time of writing, Betbright are offering the best odds on a Brazil win.

Place £30.00 on Brazil @ 1.34 = Potential profit of £10.20

Let’s have a look at our overall profit/loss for the two outcomes…

 

Brazil win -£2.50 + £10.20 = £7.70 profit
Brazil don’t win +£37.50 – £30.00 = £7.50 profit

 

As you can see, regardless of the result of the opening game, we will make a guaranteed minimum profit of £7.50!
