Qualifying bets must be placed pre-match after 08:00 on each respective day, to be eligible.
Losing stakes are refunded as a free bet, so ordinarily we would treat this as a risk-free offer. Unfortunately though, the Set 1 Correct Score market is a little obscure and so the liquidity tends to be lacking.
I’ve therefore decided to treat this as a speculative offer. We can just place our qualifying bet on a selection of our choice and let it run as a value bet without laying. If our back bet wins, we’ll have made a nice profit, otherwise we can just extract 80% from our £10.00 free bet refund and take a £2.00 loss.
Having looked at the odds available for Rafael Nadal v Kevin Anderson, I’ve opted to place my qualifying bet on 7-6 to Kevin Anderson.
Place £10.00 on 7-6 Anderson @ 11.00 = Potential profit of £100.00
So, if Kevin Anderson wins the first set 7-6, we’ll have made a nice profit of £100.00. Any other outcome and we’ll have made a loss of £2.00. Risking £2.00 to make a profit of £100.00 gives us effective odds of 51.00, so given that Anderson is odds of 11.00 to win the first set 7-6, this is a very profitable offer in the long run.
If any of our selections lose, our free bet will be credited within 24 hours and will be valid for 4 days.
