World Cup 2018 Offer – 10Bet

The World Cup 2018 is just around the corner and you don’t want to miss this 10Bet offer. Simply bet £20.00+ on any team to win the tournament and 10Bet will give us a free bet every time they win a match in 90 minutes! Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential profit of £20.52 and here’s how…

Qualifying Bet:

Qualifying bets must be placed between 00:00 on Monday 21st May 2018 and 23:59 on Wednesday 13th June 2018, to be eligible.

The free bets range from £3.00 to £6.00, depending on which team you select as follows…

£3 Free Bets £4 Free Bets £5 Free Bets £6 Free Bets
Germany Portugal Croatia All others
Brazil England Uruguay
Spain Belgium Russia
France Argentina Colombia
Poland
Mexico

It’s entirely up to you which team you place your qualifying bet on. Having looked at the odds available, we could place our qualifying bet on Belgium.

At the time of writing, laying our bet at Smarkets gives us the smallest qualifying loss.

Just bear in mind that our exchange funds will be tied up until our team get knocked out. The alternative is to not lay our bet and just let the qualifying bet run. Belgium should win enough matches to cover some of the £20.00 stake and we could win big if they go on to win the tournament.

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 £18.49…

Place £20.00 on Belgium @ 12.00 = Potential profit of £220.00

Smarkets logo

Lay £18.49 on Belgium @ 13.00 = Potential liability of £221.88

Let’s have a look at our potential profit/loss for the possible outcomes…

Belgium win + £220.00 – £221.88 = £1.88 loss
Belgium don’t win – £20.00 + £18.12 (£18.49 minus 2% commission) = £1.88 loss

So, regardless of who wins the tournament, we’ll lose £1.88 in qualifying for our potential free bets.

NOTE: It’s worth pointing out that if we select the same team for the various different bookmaker Outright Winner offers, we would need a huge amount in our exchange account to cover the overall liability. By selecting a few different teams, we can reduce our overall liability at the exchange. That’s because only one team can win the tournament, so we just need enough exchange funds to cover the team with the largest liability.

Free Bets:

For every match that Belgium win in 90 minutes, we’ll receive the respective free bet by 10:00 the following day. Free bets will be valid on any World Cup market for 7 days and free bet stakes are not included in any returns.

There are 3 group matches and 4 potential knock out matches. If Belgium win all 7 matches, we’ll receive £28.00 in free bets. By using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to extract 80% cash from our £28.00 in free bets, so £22.40. If we take our qualifying loss of £1.88 into account, that gives us a potential profit of £20.52 on this 10Bet offer!

* Belgium won 6 matches on their way to finishing 3rd in the tournament, resulting in a profit of £17.32 on this 10Bet offer. *
