We can calculate our lay stake using the ‘Qualifying Bet‘ setting on my Matched Betting Calculator…
As you can see, the calculator tells us that our lay stake should be £47.13…
Place £50.00 on Liverpool @ 2.30 = Potential profit of £65.00
Lay £47.13 on Liverpool @ 2.46 = Potential liability of £68.80
Let’s have a look at our potential profit/loss for the possible outcomes…
| Outcome | Bet365 | Betfair | Profit/Loss |
|---|---|---|---|
| Liverpool win | + £65.00 | – £68.80 | £3.80 loss |
| Liverpool lose or draw | – £50.00 | + £46.18 | £3.82 loss |
So, regardless of whether Liverpool win, lose or draw, we’ll lose a maximum of £3.82 in qualifying for our £50.00 free bet.
Free bet
Our £50.00 free bet will only become available once the match starts and must be used in play. Free bet stakes are not included in any returns.
It’s impossible to know what odds will be available until the match has kicked off, but we should be aiming to convert our £50.00 free bet into around 75% cash, so £37.50.
If you’re unsure how to convert free bets into cash, please see my free bets guide for a walkthrough of how it should be done.
I’ll use back odds of 8.50 and lay odds of 9.80 for 2-1 Liverpool in the following example to illustrate how things should pan out.
We can calculate our lay stake using the ‘Free Bet‘ setting on my Matched Betting Calculator…
As you can see, the calculator tells us that our lay stake should be £38.34…
Place £50.00 on 2-1 Liverpool @ 8.50 = Potential profit of £375.00
Lay £38.34 on 2-1 Liverpool @ 9.80 = Potential liability of £337.39
Let’s have a look at our potential profit/loss for the possible outcomes…
| Outcome | Bet365 | Betfair | Profit/Loss |
|---|---|---|---|
| Liverpool win 2-1 | + £375.00 | – £337.39 | £37.61 profit |
| Liverpool don’t win 2-1 | – Free bet | + £37.57 | £37.57 profit |
So, with some decent odds, we’ll convert our £50.00 free bet into around £37.50 cash.
If we take into account our maximum qualifying loss of £3.82, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £33.68 on this Bet365 offer!
* Liverpool won the match 2-0, resulting in a profit of £33.70 on this Bet365 offer. *
