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 £9.86…
Place £10.00 on Man Utd @ 2.05 = Potential profit of £10.50
Lay £9.86 on Man Utd @ 2.10 = Potential liability of £10.84
Outcomes:
Let’s have a look at our potential profit/loss for the possible outcomes…
| Outcome | Bookie | Exchange | Profit/Loss |
|---|---|---|---|
| Man Utd win | + £10.50 | – £10.84 | £0.34 loss |
| Man Utd don’t win | – £10.00 | + £9.66 | £0.34 loss |
So, regardless of the outcome, we’ll lose £0.34 in qualifying for our potential free bet.
