Qualifying Bet:
If you’re unfamiliar with qualifying bets, please see my Qualifying Bet Strategy page for a walk-through guide on how it should be done.
Having looked at the odds available, we could place our qualifying bet on Man Utd in the 90 Minutes market.
If Man Utd score first and go on to draw or lose the match, our winnings will be paid in cash, up to a maximum of £50.00.
To calculate our back stake, we just need to divide £50.00 by 2.00 (back odds – 1.00), which gives us £25.00. That’s an ideal stake amount as it’s best that we stick to round numbers when placing our qualifying bet.
At the time of writing, laying our bet at Smarkets gives us the smallest qualifying loss.
We can calculate our lay stake using my matched betting calculator…
As you can see, the calculator tells us that our lay stake should be £23.58…
Place £25.00 on Man Utd @ 3.00 = Potential profit of £50.00
Lay £23.58 on Man Utd @ 3.20 = Potential liability of £51.87
Outcomes:
Let’s have a look at our potential profit/loss for the possible outcomes…
Outcome | Bookie | Exchange | Profit/Loss |
---|---|---|---|
Man Utd score first and win | +£50.00 | -£51.87 | £1.87 loss |
Man Utd score first and don’t win | +£50.00 | +£23.10 | £73.10 profit |
Man Utd don’t score first and win | +£50.00 | -£51.87 | £1.87 loss |
Man Utd don’t score first and don’t win | -£25.00 | +£23.10 | £1.90 loss |
So, if Man Utd score first and go on to draw or lose the game, we’ll receive cash winnings of £50.00, plus the £25.00 of our stake that contributed to those winnings, giving us a profit of £50.00 at William Hill. We’ll also win £23.10 from our lay bet at Smarkets, giving us a nice overall profit of £73.10!
Any other outcome and we’ll lose a maximum of £1.90. Risking £1.90 to make a profit of £73.10, gives us effective odds of 39.47, which I’m sure you’ll agree, makes this a profitable offer in the long run.
If eligible, our cash winnings will be credited within 2 hours of the match finishing or by 12:00 on Monday 25th February 2019.
Note: If your team scores first, you can either let it run as above or place an extra back bet to lock in a profit. If you decide to guarantee a profit, you just need to divide the sum of your potential loss and potential profit by the back odds. For example, if the back odds are 1.80 (4/5), you would divide £74.97 (£1.87 + £73.10) by 1.80, giving you a back stake of £41.65 and a guaranteed profit of £31.45.
* The match was drawn 0-0, resulting in a loss of £1.90 on this William Hill offer. *
