It’s South Africa v British & Irish Lions on Saturday and BoyleSports are getting in on the action! Place a £5.00 Bet Builder bet on South Africa v British & Irish Lions and BoyleSports will give us a £5.00 free bet to use in play on the same match. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £3.52 and here’s how…

Qualifying bet

It’s entirely up to you how you play this offer.

We could take a speculative approach and not lay our Bet Builder bet. If our bet loses, we know that by using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to convert our £5.00 free bet into 75% cash, so £3.75. That means the most we can lose on this offer is £1.25 and we could make a nice profit.

If we lay our qualifying bet though, we can lock in a guaranteed profit.

So, looking at the selections available, we could place our qualifying bet on Match Betting – South Africa / Half Time Winner – South Africa at back odds of 2.30 (13/10). The lay odds (Half-time/Full-time) are currently 2.38.
