Place £20.00 on Scarlets @ 5.00 = Potential profit of £80.00

Lay £19.05 on Scarlets @ 5.30 = Potential liability of £81.91

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

Scarlets win by more than 5 points + £80.00 – £81.91 = £1.91 loss
Scarlets win by 5 points or less + £80.00 – £81.91 + £60.00 (extract 75% from £80.00 free bet) = £58.09 profit
Scarlets don’t win – £20.00 + £18.09 = £1.91 loss

So, if Scarlets win by 5 points or less, we’ll make a nice profit of £58.09. Any other outcome and we’ll have made a loss of £1.91. Risking £1.91 to make a profit of £58.09 gives us effective odds of 31.41. So, given that Scarlets are odds of around 8.50 to win by 1-5 points, this is a profitable offer in the long run.

If eligible, free bets will be credited within 24 hours and will be valid for 7 days. Free bet stakes will not be included in any returns.

If you’re not sure how to extract 75% cash from a free bet, please see my Free Bet Strategy page for a walk-through guide on how it should be done.
