Outcomes

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

OutcomeNetBetBetfairProfit/Loss
Thomas wins+ £200.00– £201.08£1.08 loss
Another player wins– £10.00+ £8.95£1.05 loss

So, no matter the outcome, we’ll lose a maximum of £1.08 in qualifying for our potential free bets.

Free bets

We’ll receive a £2.00 free bet for every shot Justin Thomas is under par in Round 1. Free bets will be credited within 24 hours and will be valid for 7 days on any sport. Free bet stakes will not be returned with any winnings.

If Justin Thomas finishes Round 1 on 4-under-par (-4), we’ll receive £8.00 in free bets. Using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to convert our free bets into 80% cash, so £6.40.

If we take into account our minimum qualifying loss of £1.05, this gives us a potential profit of £5.35 on this NetBet offer!

* Justin Thomas finished Round 1 on 2-over-par (+2) and Collin Morikawa won the tournament, resulting in a loss of £1.05 on this NetBet offer. *
