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 £9.64…
Place £10.00 on France @ 2.70 = Potential profit of £17.00
Lay £9.64 on France @ 2.82 = Potential liability of £17.54
Outcomes
Let’s have a look at our potential profit/loss for the possible outcomes…
| Outcome | Betfred | Betfair | Profit/Loss |
|---|---|---|---|
| France win | + £17.00 | – £17.54 | £0.54 loss |
| France lose or draw | – £10.00 | + £9.44 | £0.56 loss |
So, regardless of the outcome, we’ll lose a maximum of £0.56 in qualifying for our potential free bet.
Free bet
We’ll receive a £5.00 free bet if there are over 2.5 goals in the match. Free bets will be credited by 12:00 on Wednesday 16th June 2021 and will be valid until 09:00 on Thursday 17th June 2021.
Using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to convert our free bet into 80% cash, so £4.00. If we take into account our minimum qualifying loss of £0.54, this gives us a potential profit of £3.46 on this Betfred offer!
Risking a potential loss of £0.56 to make a potential profit of £3.46 gives us effective odds of 7.81. So, given that the odds are just 2.10 (11/10) for there to be over 2.5 goals, this is a profitable offer in the long run.
* France won the match 1-0, resulting in a loss of £0.54 on this Betfred offer. *
