Betfred – Ryder Cup 2021 Offer

The Ryder Cup 2021 tees off on Friday and Betfred are getting in on the action! Bet £10.00+ on the top combined points scorer and Betfred will give us a £2.00 free bet every time our selection scores a point. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential profit of £6.20 and here’s how…

Place £10.00 on Jon Rahm @ 7.50 = Potential profit of £65.00

Betfair logo

Lay £8.35 on Jon Rahm @ 9.00 = Potential liability of £66.80

Outcomes

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

OutcomeBetfredBetfairProfit/Loss
Rahm top scores+ £65.00– £66.80£1.80 loss
Rahm doesn’t top score– £10.00+ £8.18£1.82 loss

So, no matter the outcome, we’ll lose a maximum of £1.82 in qualifying for our potential free bets.

Free bets

We’ll receive a £2.00 free bet every time our selection scores a point or a £1.00 free bet if they score half a point. Free bets will be credited within 24 hours and will be valid until 09:00 on Tuesday 28th September 2021.

Ryder Cup matches are worth one point and if a match is tied, the point is halved between the two teams. If Jon Rahm plays and wins all five possible matches, we’ll receive £10.00 in free bets.

Using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to convert our free bets into 80% cash, so £8.00. If we take into account our minimum qualifying loss of £1.80, this gives us a potential profit of £6.20 on this Betfred offer!

* Jon Rahm scored 3 ½ points and didn’t finish top combined points scorer, resulting in a profit of £3.78 on this Betfred offer. *
