Ladbrokes Free Bet Offer – England v Italy

It’s time for another Ladbrokes free bet offer!  Simply place a £25.00 bet on England v Italy and if Italy win, Ladbrokes will refund all losing first goalsorer, correct score and scorrecast bets as a free bet up to £25.00!  Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential profit of £18.00 and here’s how…


Qualifying Bet:

If you’re unfamiliar with qualifying bets, please see my Qualifying Bet Strategy page for a walkthrough guide on how to place your qualifying bets.

Whenever I do these Ladbrokes free bet offers, I always stick to the correct score market. I find the liquidity at the betting exchange is far better than goalscorer markets and I just feel more comfortable here.  We need to select a scoreline that isn’t an Italy win.  This ensures that if Italy win the match, we will automatically qualify for a free bet refund as our qualifying bet will have lost.  It’s entirely up to you which score you go for.  Having looked at the odds available, I’ve opted for a 3-1 England win.

Place £25.00 on 3-1 England @ 29.00 = Potential profit of £700.00

Lay £24.21 on 3-1 England @ 30.00 = Potential liability of £702.09

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

 

3-1 England +£700.00 – £702.09 = £2.09 loss
Not 3-1 England and Italy win -£25.00 + £23.00 + £20.00 (extract 80% from our £25.00 free bet) = £18.00 profit
Not 3-1 England and Italy don’t win -£25.00 + £23.00 = £2.00 loss

 

So if Italy win, we will make a profit of £18.00.  We do, however, stand to lose a maximum of £2.09 if Italy don’t win, but I’m sure you’ll agree this is a small risk worth taking as the odds on an Italy win are currently around 3.05.

If you’re not sure how to extract 80% of our £25.00 free bet, please see my Free Bet Strategy page for a walkthrough guide.
