The Masters 2020 Offer – Betfred

The Masters 2020 tees off on Thursday and Betfred are getting in on the action! Simply bet £10.00+ on the outright winner and Betfred will give us a £5.00 free bet for every round in which our player records an Eagle. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential profit of £3.64 and here’s how…

Key Terms:

  • Minimum stake of £10.00.
  • Applies to bets placed on the Outright – The Masters market.
  • Applies to bets placed between 17:00 on Tuesday 10th November 2020 and 12:00 (first tee) on Thursday 12th November 2020.
  • We’ll receive a £5.00 free bet for every round in which our player records an Eagle or better.

Qualifying Bet:

If you’d like more information about qualifying bets and how they work, please see my Qualifying Bets Guide.

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 Bryson Dechambeau.

At the time of writing, laying our bet at Betfair gives us the smallest qualifying loss.

As you can see, the calculator tells us that our lay stake should be £9.80…

Place £10.00 on Bryson Dechambeau @ 9.00 = Potential profit of £80.00

Lay £9.80 on Bryson Dechambeau @ 9.20 = Potential liability of £80.36

Outcomes:

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

Outcome Bookie Exchange Profit/Loss
Bryson Dechambeau wins + £80.00 – £80.36 £0.36 loss
Bryson Dechambeau doesn’t win – £10.00 + £9.60 £0.40 loss

So, regardless of the outcome, we’ll lose a maximum of £0.40 in qualifying for our potential free bets.

Free Bets:

We’ll receive a £5.00 free bet for every round in which Bryson Dechambeau records an Eagle or better. An Eagle is registered when a player scores 2-under par on any hole, including hole-in-ones and albatrosses.

Free bets will be credited within 24 hours of our player recording a round with an Eagle or better and will be valid until 09:00 on Tuesday 17th November 2020.

If Bryson Dechambeau completes a round with an Eagle, we’ll receive a £5.00 free bet. Using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to convert our free bet into 80% cash, so £4.00. If we take into account our minimum qualifying loss of £0.36, this gives us a potential profit of £3.64 on this Betfred offer!

* Bryson Dechambeau recorded an Eagle in the fourth round and finished the tournament tied 34th, resulting in a profit of £3.60 on this Betfred offer. *
