The World Cup 2018 is almost here and you don’t want to miss this Sun Bets offer. Simply bet £25.00+ on the World Cup Top Goalscorer and Sun Bets will give us a £5.00 free bet every time they score during the tournament! Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential profit of £18.88 and here’s how…
Qualifying Bet:
Qualifying bets must be placed between 00:01 on Friday 1st 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 Timo Werner.
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 player’s team gets knocked out. The alternative is to not lay our bet and just let the qualifying bet run. Timo Werner should score enough goals to cover some of the £25.00 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…
As you can see, the calculator tells us that our lay stake should be £20.29…
Place £25.00 on Timo Werner @ 15.00 = Potential profit of £350.00
Lay £20.29 on Timo Werner @ 18.50 = Potential liability of £355.07
Let’s have a look at our potential profit/loss for the possible outcomes…
| Timo Werner top scores | + £350.00 – £355.07 = £5.07 loss |
| Timo Werner doesn’t top score | – £25.00 + £19.88 (£20.29 minus 2% commission) = £5.12 loss |
So, regardless of who is top goalscorer, we’ll lose a maximum of £5.12 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 Timo Werner scores, we’ll receive a £5.00 free bet within 24 hours, up to a maximum of £50.00 over the course of the tournament. Free bets will be valid until 16:00 on Sunday 15th July 2018 and free bet stakes are not included in any returns.
There are 3 group matches and 4 potential knock out matches. If Timo Werner scores 6 goals in total, we’ll receive £30.00 in free bets. By using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to extract 80% cash from our £30.00 in free bets, so £24.00. If we take our maximum qualifying loss of £5.12 into account, that gives us a potential profit of £18.88 on this Sun Bets offer!
* Timo Werner failed to score during the tournament, resulting in a loss of £5.12 on this Sun Bets offer. *
