World Cup 2018 preparations continue with England v Costa Rica tonight and Genting Bet are getting in on the action! Simply place a £10.00 pre-match bet on England v Costa Rica and Genting Bet will give us a free bet equal to the amount of goals scored in the game. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential profit of £3.00 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 they should be done.
Qualifying bets must be placed at odds of 1.80 (4/5) or greater between 00:00 on Wednesday 6th June 2018 and 20:00 (kick-off) on Thursday 7th June 2018, to be eligible.
It’s entirely up to you what you place your qualifying bet on. Having looked at the odds available, we could place our qualifying bet on England in the First Half Result market.
At the time of writing, laying our bet at Betfair gives us the smallest qualifying loss.
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 £9.48…
Place £10.00 on England (First Half) @ 2.00 = Potential profit of £10.00
Lay £9.48 on England (Half Time) @ 2.16 = Potential liability of £10.99
Let’s have a look at our potential profit/loss for the possible outcomes…
| England lead at half-time | + £10.00 – £10.99 = £0.99 loss |
| England don’t lead at half-time | – £10.00 + £9.00 (£9.48 minus 5% commission) = £1.00 loss |
So, regardless of the half-time score, we’ll lose a maximum of £1.00 in qualifying for our potential free bets.
Free Bets:
We’ll receive a free bet equal to the amount of goals scored in the game. Free bets will be credited by 23:59 on Friday 8th June 2018 and will be valid for 3 days.
Free bets must be placed at odds no greater than 5.00 (4/1). By using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to extract 80% of any free bets as cash.
Therefore, if 5 goals are scored in the game, we’ll receive a £5.00 free bet, from which we can extract £4.00 cash. If we take into account our maximum qualifying loss of £1.00, this gives us a potential profit of £3.00 on this Genting Bet offer!
* England led 1-0 at half-time on their way to winning the match 2-0, resulting in a profit of £0.61 on this Genting Bet offer. *
