It’s Scotland v France in the Six Nations this afternoon and you don’t want to miss this Coral offer. Simply place a £5.00+ win single on Scotland or France to win the match in the 80 minute match market and if any forward scores the first try, Coral will double our winnings up to £50.00, in free bets! Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential profit of £34.44 and here’s how…
The Terms:
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.
Qualifying bets must be placed between 00:01 on Saturday 10th February 2018 and 15:00 (kick-off) on Sunday 11th February 2018, to be eligible.
To qualify, we must place a £5.00+ Single bet on Scotland or France to win in the 80 minute match market. If a forward scores the first try, Coral will double our winnings in free bets, up to a maximum of £50.00. If eligible, free bets will be credited within 24 hours of our bet being settled and will be valid for 4 days. Free bet stakes are not included in any returns.
Qualifying Bet:
It’s entirely up to you who you place your qualifying bet on. Having looked at the odds available, we could place our qualifying bet on Scotland.
In order to work out our back stake, we need to divide £50.00 by 0.50 (back odds minus 1.00). This gives us a back stake of £100.00, which is perfect as it’s best that we stick to round numbers when placing our qualifying bet.
I like to place my exchange lay bets with Betfair as they have great liquidity and the site is really easy to use.
We can calculate our lay stake using my matched betting calculator…
As you can see, the calculator tells us that our lay stake should be £102.04…
Place £100.00 on Scotland @ 1.50 = Potential profit of £50.00
Lay £102.04 on Scotland @ 1.52 = Potential liability of £53.06
Outcomes:
Let’s have a look at our potential profit/loss for the possible outcomes…
| Scotland win and a forward doesn’t score the first try | + £50.00 – £53.06 = £3.06 loss |
| Scotland win and a forward scores the first try | + £50.00 – £53.06 + £37.50 (75% extracted from £50.00 free bet) = £34.44 profit |
| Scotland don’t win | – £100.00 + £96.93 = £3.07 loss |
So, if Scotland win the match and a forward scores the first try, we’ll make a nice profit of £34.44. Any other outcome and we’ll lose a maximum of £3.07. Risking £3.07 to make a profit of £34.44, gives us effective odds of 12.22, which I’m sure you’ll agree makes this a profitable offer in the long run.
* Scotland won the match 32-26 with the first try being scored by French back (wing), Teddy Thomas, resulting in a loss of £3.06 on this Coral offer. *
