Qualifying bet
Please see my qualifying bets guide if you’d like more information about them and how they work.
It’s entirely up to you which player you place your qualifying bet on. At the time of writing, Jon Rahm is available at back odds of 12.00 (11/1) and lay odds of 13.00.
Smarkets works best for this offer
For this offer, Smarkets are the best option due to Sky Bet being part of the same group as Betfair.
Laying your bet at Betfair would probably be fine, but if you don’t want to risk it, Smarkets is your safest bet.
- 0% commission for 60 days
You can calculate your lay stake using my Matched Betting Calculator…
As you can see, the calculator tells you that your lay stake should be £4.62…
Place £5.00 on Jon Rahm @ 12.00 = Potential profit of £55.00
Lay £4.62 on Jon Rahm @ 13.00 = Potential liability of £55.44
Outcomes
Let’s look at your potential profit/loss for the possible outcomes…
| Outcome | Sky Bet | Smarkets | Profit/Loss |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jon Rahm wins | + £55.00 | – £55.44 | £0.44 loss |
| Another player wins | – £5.00 | + £4.52 | £0.48 loss |
So, no matter who wins, you’ll lose no more than £0.48 in qualifying for your potential free bets.
Free bets
You’ll receive a £1.00 free bet for every birdie or better Jon Rahm makes during the tournament’s first round. Free bets will be credited by 19:00 the day after the first round finishes and will not be subject to expiry.
If Jon Rahm makes 5 birdies or better in the first round, you’ll receive £5.00 in free bets. Using straightforward matched betting, you should be able to convert your free bets into 80% cash, so £4.00.
If you consider your minimum qualifying loss of £0.44, this gives you a potential profit of £3.56 on this Sky Bet offer!
* Jon Rahm made two birdies in the first round and finished the tournament tied 27th, resulting in a £1.12 profit on this Sky Bet offer. *
