It’s Netherlands v England tonight and you don’t want to miss this Betfred ‘Bet £10, Get £5’ offer! Place a single bet of at least £10.00 on any pre-match market for Netherlands v England and Betfred will give us a £5.00 free bet to be used in play on the same match. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £2.96 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 it should be done.
Qualifying bets must be placed at odds of 1.50 (1/2) or greater between 09:00 and 19:30 on Friday 23rd March 2018, to be eligible.
Having looked at the odds available, we could place our qualifying bet on a Draw in the Match Result market.
I like to place my exchange lay bets with Betfair as they have great liquidity and the site is really easy to use.
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 £9.70…
Place £10.00 on a draw @ 3.20 = Potential profit of £22.00
Lay £9.70 on a draw @ 3.35 = Potential liability of £22.79
Let’s have a look at our potential profit/loss for the possible outcomes…
Draw | + £22.00 – £22.79 = £0.79 loss |
Not a draw | – £10.00 + £9.21 (£9.70 minus 2% commission) = £0.79 loss |
So, regardless of the result of the match, we’ll lose £0.79 in qualifying for our £5.00 free in play bet.
Free Bet:
Our £5.00 free bet will be credited within 15 minutes of kick-off (19:45 on Friday 23rd March 2018) and will be valid until 09:00 on Monday 22nd January 2018.
It’s impossible to know what odds will be available until the match has kicked off but by using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to extract 75% out of the £5.00 free bet as cash, so £3.75. If we take into account our qualifying loss of £0.79, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £2.96 on this Betfred offer!
* England won the match 1-0, resulting in a profit of £2.96 on this Betfred offer. *
