It’s Slovakia v Republic of Ireland in the Euro 2020 Play-Off Semi-Finals on Thursday and you don’t want to miss this BoyleSports risk-free bet offer! Simply place a pre-match bet of up to £10.00 on Slovakia v Republic of Ireland and if it loses, BoyleSports will refund your stake as a free bet. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £5.52 and here’s how…
Key Terms:
- This offer is only available on mobile or in shop using a BoyleXtra card.
- Place a bet of up to £10.00 on any Slovakia v Republic of Ireland market.
- Qualifying bets must be placed before 19:45 (kick-off) on Thursday 8th October 2020.
- If our first bet loses, BoyleSports will refund our stake as a free bet.
Qualifying Bet:
If our first bet loses, our stake will be refunded as a free bet, so we can treat this as a risk-free bet offer.
We’ll need to place our bet at long odds in order to maximise our profit.
At the time of writing, the lay odds aren’t quite tight enough, so I’ll use fictional lay odds for Slovakia 2-1 in the Correct Score market in the following example and I’ll update the bottom of the post with an actual selection after the match.
At the time of writing, laying our bet at Betfair is likely to give us the biggest guaranteed profit.

We can work out our lay stake by using the ‘Risk-Free Bet’ setting on my Matched Betting Calculator. We can enter £8.00 as our ‘Cashback’ figure as this is the amount we can expect to convert our £10.00 free bet into, should our bet lose…
As you can see, the calculator tells us that our lay stake should be £7.68…
Place £10.00 on ‘Slovakia 2-1’ @ 10.00 = Potential profit of £90.00
Lay £7.68 on ‘2-1 (Slovakia)’ @ 12.00 = Potential liability of £84.48
Outcomes:
Let’s have a look at our potential profit/loss for the possible outcomes…
| Outcome | Bookie | Exchange | Free Bet | Profit/Loss |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Slovakia win 2-1 | +£90.00 | -£84.48 | £5.52 profit | |
| Slovakia don’t win 2-1 | -£10.00 | +£7.52 | +£8.00 | £5.52 profit |
So, no matter how the match finishes, we’ll make a guaranteed profit of £5.52 on this BoyleSports offer!
If eligible, our free bet will be credited within 24 hours and will be valid for 7 days.
