The Masters 2020 tees off on Thursday and Sky Bet are getting in on the action! Simply opt in and place a £5.00+ bet on the ‘Hotshots’ market and Sky Bet will give us a £1.00 free bet for every birdie or better our player makes during the first day of the tournament. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential profit of £3.13 and here’s how…
Key Terms:
- We must opt in on the promotion page, to be eligible.
- Minimum stake of £5.00.
- Applies to bets placed on the Hotshots market.
- Applies to bets placed between 12:00 on Friday 6th November 2020 and 14:00 on Thursday 12th November 2020.
- We’ll receive a £1.00 free bet for every birdie or better our player makes during Day 1 of the tournament.
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 Dustin Johnson.
At the time of writing, laying our bet at Betfair gives us the smallest qualifying loss.

We can calculate our lay stakes using my matched betting calculator…
As you can see, the calculator tells us that our lay stake should be £4.17…
Place £5.00 on Dustin Johnson @ 10.00 = Potential profit of £45.00
Lay £4.17 on Dustin Johnson @ 12.00 = Potential liability of £45.87
Outcomes:
Let’s have a look at our potential profit/loss for the possible outcomes…
| Outcome | Bookie | Exchange | Profit/Loss |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dustin Johnson wins | + £45.00 | – £45.87 | £0.87 loss |
| Dustin Johnson doesn’t win | – £5.00 | + £4.08 | £0.92 loss |
So, no matter who wins, we’ll lose a maximum of £0.92 in qualifying for our potential free bets.
Free Bets:
We’ll receive a £1.00 free bet for every birdie or better Dustin Johnson records during the first round of the tournament. Free bets will be credited by 19:00 after the conclusion of the first round and will not be subject to an expiry.
If Dustin Johnson records 5 birdies or better in the first round, we’ll receive £5.00 in free bets. Using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to convert our free bets into 80% cash, so £4.00. If we take into account our minimum qualifying loss of £0.87, this gives us a potential profit of £3.13 on this Sky Bet offer!
* Dustin Johnson recorded 6 birdies or better in the first round and went on to win the tournament, resulting in a profit of £3.93 on this Sky Bet offer. *
