  1. Register an account with FanTeam.
  1. Deposit £10 using a debit card.
  2. Switch to decimal odds.

Qualifying bet

  1. Check the back odds at FanTeam and the lay odds at Smarkets to find a suitable selection. Your qualifying bet must be placed on a fixed-odds sportsbook selection at minimum odds of 2.00 (evens).
  2. Use the ‘Qualifying Bet‘ setting on the Matched Betting Calculator to calculate your lay stake.
  3. Place your £10 qualifying back bet at FanTeam (within 30 days of registering).
  4. Place your lay bet against the same selection at Smarkets.

Free bets

  1. Upon settlement of your qualifying bet, you’ll receive 6 x £5 free bets at different intervals (see ‘Key terms’ above) to use on selected markets. Your first two free bets will be valid on a single selection and an in-play selection.
  2. Check the back odds at FanTeam and the lay odds at Smarkets to find a suitable single selection.
  3. Use the ‘Free Bet‘ setting on the Matched Betting Calculator to calculate your lay stake.
  4. Place your first £5 free back bet on a single bet at FanTeam (valid for 14 days).
  5. Place your lay bet against the same selection at Smarkets.
  6. Repeat steps 11-14 for your remaining 5 x £5 free bets.

Fantasy tickets

  1. Like the free bets, you will also receive 5 x £2 Fantasy tickets at different intervals. (see ‘Key terms’ above). You can find these in the ‘Games’ section. You won’t be able to lay these, so just enter the £2 contests and hope that you win.

As a rough guide, limit your qualifying loss to around £1. Aim for £4 cash (80%) from your £5 free single bet, £3.75 cash (75%) from your £5 free in-play bet, £7 cash (70%) from your 2 x £5 free multi bets, and £6 cash (60%) from your 2 x £5 free Bet Builders. Based on those figures, you should make a £19.75 profit on this FanTeam offer.

Place your qualifying bets at low odds, ensuring you meet any minimum odds requirement. Use the ‘Qualifying Bet’ setting on the Matched Betting Calculator to calculate your lay stakes.

Once received, you can convert any free bets or bonuses into cash. Use the ‘Free Bet’ setting on the Matched Betting Calculator to calculate your lay stakes. It’s best to place free bets at high odds to maximise your profits.

See my ‘Bet X, Get Y‘ guide for a complete walkthrough of this offer type.

How to lay a multiple bet

Your best option is to lay your multiple at Smarkets, as their platform allows you to build any multiple and lay it as one bet. Therefore, you can place your multiple bet at the bookmaker and then build and lay the same multiple at Smarkets.

See my ‘Laying Multiples‘ guide for a complete walkthrough.

How to lay a Bet Builder

If you’re looking to lay a football Bet Builder, you’re in luck. All you need to do is add the right combination of selections, and you’ll be able to lay your Bet Builder in one bet at the betting exchange.

Bet Builders on other sports tend not to be as straightforward, and you may struggle to lay your bet. In that instance, and depending on the offer, you may want to treat it as advantage play.

See my Bet Builders guide for a walkthrough of your options.
