It’s France v England in the Six Nations on Sunday and BetStars are getting in on the action! Place a £5.00+ bet on France v England and BetStars will give us a £5.00 free bet if a card is shown in the match. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential profit of £4.01 and here’s how…
Key Terms:
- Offer available from 00:01 on Friday 31st January 2020 until 15:00 (kick-off) on Sunday 2nd February 2020.
- The minimum stake to qualify is £5.00.
- We must place our bet at odds of 1.50 (1/2) or greater.
Qualifying Bet:
If you’re unfamiliar with qualifying bets, please see my Qualifying Bet Strategy page for a walk-through guide on how they should be done.
It’s entirely up to you what you place your qualifying bet on. Having looked at the odds available, we could place our qualifying bet on England in the Match Result market.
At the time of writing, laying our bet at Betfair gives us the smallest qualifying loss.
Betfair are currently running a great sign up offer where you pay 0% commission up to £500 for the first 30 days…
If you already have a Betfair account, you can opt to pay just 2% commission by selecting the Basic package.
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 £5.10…
Place £5.00 on England @ 1.50 = Potential profit of £2.50
Lay £5.10 on England @ 1.49 = Potential liability of £2.49
Outcomes:
Let’s have a look at our potential profit/loss for the possible outcomes…
| Outcome | Bookie | Exchange | Profit/Loss |
|---|---|---|---|
| England win | +£2.50 | -£2.49 | £0.01 profit |
| England don’t win | -£5.00 | +£4.99 | £0.01 loss |
So, regardless of the outcome, we’ll lose a maximum of £0.01 in qualifying for our potential free bet.
Free Bet:
If a card is shown during the match, we’ll receive a £5.00 free bet within 48 hours of the match finishing. Free bets will be valid for 7 days and free bet stakes are not included in any returns.
By using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to extract 80% cash from our £5.00 free bet, so £4.00. If we take into account our possible qualifying profit of £0.01, this gives us a potential profit of £4.01 on this BetStars offer!
* France won the match 24-17 and there were no cards shown, resulting in a profit of £3.99 on this BetStars offer. *
