WARNING: Please be aware of the retirement rules regarding tennis bets. In the event of a player retiring, if the bookmaker has different rules to the betting exchange, it could leave you exposed to big losses. Smarkets and Betfair have the same retirement rules, in that if the first set of a match is not completed, all bets related to the match will be voided. If the bookmaker has different terms to the betting exchange, you may want to consider dutching your bet with a bookmaker who shares the same retirement rules.

Qualifying Bets:

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.

The strategy is the same for all ten offers. We just need to select players with tight back and lay odds in order to minimise our qualifying losses and hope we hit the refund/boost triggers.

For the Paddy Power offer, we need to hope our selection goes two sets up and then loses, so that both our back and lay bets win.

The following example is for the Betway offer. Having looked at the odds available for Blaz Kavcic v Mikhail Youzhny, I’ve opted to place my qualifying bet on Blaz Kavcic.

I prefer to place my exchange lay bets with Smarkets as they have great liquidity, the site is really easy to use and they only charge 2% commission in comparison to the 5% charged by other betting exchanges. It’s worth keeping an eye on the lay odds at Betfair but they’ll need to be tighter to compensate for the higher commission rate.

We can calculate our lay stakes using my matched betting calculator…

Place £25.00 on Blaz Kavcic @ 2.40 = Potential profit of £35.00

smarkets white

Lay £24.59 on Blaz Kavcic @ 2.46= Potential liability of £35.90

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

Kavcic wins having won the first set + £35.00 – £35.90 = £0.90 loss
Kavcic wins having lost the first set + £35.00 – £35.90 + £20.00 (extract 80% from our £25.00 free bet) = £19.10 profit
Kavcic doesn’t win – £25.00 + £24.09 = £0.91 loss

So, if Blaz Kavcic wins the match having lost the first set, we’ll make a nice profit of £19.10. Any other outcome and we’ll have made a maximum loss of £0.91. Risking £0.91 to make a profit of £19.10, gives us effective odds of 21.99, which I’m sure you’ll agree makes this is a profitable offer in the long run.

I’ll update the following tables with my actual selections after the matches have been played…
