Outcomes

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

OutcomeNetBetBetfairProfit/Loss
Chelsea win+ £11.50– £11.91£0.41 loss
Chelsea lose or draw– £10.00+ £9.57£0.43 loss

So, no matter the outcome, we’ll lose a maximum of £0.43 in qualifying for our potential free bets.

Free bets

We’ll receive a £2.00 free bet for each of the specified outcomes. Free bets will be credited within 24 hours of our qualifying bet being settled and will be valid for 7 days on any sport.

Using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to convert any free bet into 80% cash.

Therefore, if all five outcomes occur, we should be able to get £8.00 cash from our 5 x £2.00 free bets. If we take into account our minimum qualifying loss of £0.41, this gives us a potential profit of £7.59 on this NetBet offer!

* Chelsea won the match 2-0 and no free bets were triggered, resulting in a loss of £0.41 on this NetBet offer. *
