Coral Free Bet – £10.00 US Masters Offer

Another great in-play offer from Coral.   Simply place a £10.00 pre-tournament outright bet on the US Masters at Augusta and Coral will give us a FREE £10.00 bet to use in-play on the tournament.  Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a minimum guaranteed profit of £7.20.  And here’s how…

 

Step 1:

Having looked at the odds available, I’ve decided to place my bet on Dustin Johnson to win.

coral

Place £10.00 on Dustin Johnson @ 29.00 = Potential profit of £280.00

betfair

Lay £9.68 on Dustin Johnson @ 30.00 = Potential liability of £280.72

Step 2:

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

 

Dustin Johnson wins +£280.00 – £280.72 = £0.72 loss
Dustin Johnson doesn’t win -£10.00 + £9.20 (£9.68 minus 5% commission) = £0.80 loss

 

So regardless of the outcome, we will make a maximum loss of £0.80 in qualifying for our free £10.00 in-play bet.

 

Step 3:

Our account will be credited with the free bet at 13:00 hours on Thursday 10th April 2014 and expires at the end of the tournament.  By using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to extract at least 80% of the free bet, so approximately £8.00.  If we take into consideration our initial maximum loss of £0.80, we should make a minimum profit of £7.20 on this offer.
