It’s the Strictly Come Dancing 2020 Final on Saturday night and Betfred are getting in on the action! Simply place a bet of £10.00 or more on the outright winner and Betfred will give us a £5.00 free bet to use on Sunday. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £4.21 and here’s how…

Lay £10.42 on HRVY @ 2.66 = Potential liability of £17.29

Outcomes:

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

OutcomeBetfredBetfairProfit/Loss
HRVY wins+ £17.50– £17.29£0.21 profit
HRVY doesn’t win– £10.00+ £10.21£0.21 profit

So, no matter the outcome, we’ll make a small profit of £0.21 in qualifying for £5.00 free bet.

Free Bet:

Our £5.00 free bet will be credited by 12:00 on Sunday 20th December 2020.

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 qualifying profit of £0.21, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £4.21 on this Betfred offer!

* HRVY failed to win the competition, resulting in a profit of £4.21 on this Betfred offer. *
