Lay £9.56 on Mark Selby @ 1.71 = Potential liability of £6.78
Outcomes
Let’s have a look at our potential profit/loss for the possible outcomes…
| Outcome | Betfred | Betfair | Profit/Loss |
|---|---|---|---|
| Selby wins | + £6.15 | – £6.78 | £0.63 loss |
| Wilson wins | – £10.00 | + £9.36 | £0.64 loss |
So, regardless of the outcome, we’ll lose a maximum of £0.64 in qualifying for our potential free bet.
Free bet
We’ll receive a £5.00 free bet if there are 3+ century breaks in the match. Free bets will be credited by 12:00 on Thursday 25th March 2021 and will be valid until 09:00 on Friday 26th March 2021.
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 minimum qualifying loss of £0.63, this gives us a potential profit of £3.37 on this Betfred offer!
Risking a potential loss of £0.64 to make a potential profit of £3.37 gives us effective odds of 6.27, which I’m sure you’ll agree makes this a profitable offer in the long run.
* Mark Selby won 10-3 with just one century break made in the match, resulting in a loss of £0.63 on this Betfred offer. *
