The US Open 2020 tees off on Thursday morning 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 Eagle our player records. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential profit of £3.41 and here’s how…
Key Terms:
- Minimum stake of £10.00.
- Applies to bets placed on the Outright – US Open market.
- Applies to bets placed between 17:00 on Tuesday 15th September 2020 and 11:50 (first tee) on Thursday 17th September 2020.
- We’ll receive a £5.00 free bet for every Eagle our player records.
Qualifying Bet:
If you’d like more information about qualifying bets and how they work, please see my Qualifying Bets Guide.
It’s worth mentioning that this year’s US Open is being played at Winged Foot, which is one of the toughest courses in golf. The last time the US Open was played at Winged Foot, back in 2006, there were only three Eagles recorded among the top 10 players.
Therefore, this offer is only worth doing if you can find a small qualifying loss.
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 Jon Rahm.
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 £9.58…
Place £10.00 on Jon Rahm @ 11.00 = Potential profit of £100.00
Lay £9.58 on Jon Rahm @ 11.50 = Potential liability of £100.59
Outcomes:
Let’s have a look at our potential profit/loss for the possible outcomes…
| Outcome | Bookie | Exchange | Profit/Loss |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jon Rahm wins | +£100.00 | -£100.59 | £0.59 loss |
| Jon Rahm doesn’t win | -£10.00 | +£9.38 | £0.62 loss |
So, regardless of the outcome, we’ll lose a maximum of £0.62 in qualifying for our potential free bets.
Free Bets:
We’ll receive a £5.00 free bet for every Eagle Jon Rahm records. Free bets will be credited within 24 hours of an Eagle being recorded and will be valid until 09:00 on Tuesday 22nd September 2020.
If Jon Rahm records an Eagle, we’ll receive a £5.00 free bet. Using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to convert our £5.00 free bet into 80% cash, so £4.00. If we take into account our minimum qualifying loss of £0.59, this gives us a potential profit of £3.41 on this Betfred offer!
* Jon Rahm recorded no Eagles and failed to win the tournament, resulting in a loss of £0.62 on this Betfred offer. *
