World Cup 2018 Top Goalscorer Offer – Paddy Power

The World Cup 2018 is fast approaching and you don’t want to miss this Paddy Power offer. Simply bet £10.00 on the World Cup Top Goalscorer and Paddy Power will give us a £2.00 free bet every time they score a goal during the tournament! Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential profit of £8.60 and here’s how…

Qualifying Bet:

Qualifying bets must be placed between Friday 8th June 2018 and 16:00 on Thursday 14th June 2018, to be eligible.

It’s entirely up to you which player you place your qualifying bet on. Having looked at the odds available, we could place our qualifying bet on Neymar (10/1).

Just bear in mind that our exchange funds will be tied up until our player’s team gets knocked out. The alternative is to not lay our bet and just let the qualifying bet run. Neymar should score enough goals to cover some of the £10.00 stake and we could win big if he goes on to be top goalscorer.

We can calculate our lay stake using my matched betting calculator.

Outcomes:

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

So, regardless of who is top goalscorer, we’ll make a loss of £1.00 in qualifying for our potential free bets.

NOTE: It’s worth pointing out that if we select the same player for the various different bookmaker Top Goalscorer offers, we would need a huge amount in our exchange account to cover the overall liability. By selecting a few different players, we can reduce our overall liability at the exchange. That’s because only one player can be top goalscorer (winnings are reduced if players finish tied), so we just need enough exchange funds to cover the player with the largest liability.

Free Bets:

For every goal that Neymar scores, we’ll receive a £2.00 free bet by midnight on the day the game finishes. Free bets will be valid 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 Neymar scores 6 goals in total, we’ll receive £12.00 in free bets. By using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to extract 80% cash from our £12.00 in free bets, so £9.60. If we take our qualifying loss of £1.00 into account, that gives us a potential profit of £8.60 on this Paddy Power offer!

* Neymar scored 2 goals and did not finish as Top Goalscorer, resulting in a profit of £2.20 on this Paddy Power offer. *
