After watching the effect that the first goal has on the odds for a draw, it got me thinking. If while the score was still a draw, I was to feed a stake value into the calculator along with the expected higher bookie odds that would result from a goal being scored and enter the lay odds prior to a goal being scored, I could place the lay bet on that basis in the knowledge that as soon as a goal was scored, I could place the bookie bet to guarantee profit. Tried it successfully a couple of times already. In fact, on one occasion, I decided not to place the bookie bet after a goal was scored because it was late in the game and I decided to risk it for higher profit.

New to matched betting?
My Matched Betting Academy is the best place to get started. Learning the fundamentals takes 10-15 minutes and you’ll make £15 in the process.

Thanks for your comments Shaun. I have had a look at the T&Cs. The late goal offer only applies to bets placed pre-match and payout is limited to £25. I will go back to the drawing board as suggested and look to see if this could still provide an advantage if the lay bet liability was kept below £25.
+0A large bet on the draw after the 88th minute? You do realise the max refund @888sport is £25 and the odds of a draw at the 88th minite would be very low at a guess 1.2? That would be £5 profit hardly going to offset any liability now is it….you really didnt think any of this through
+0Ryan,
You’re absolutely right. Too many flaws in my idea. Still, the dream felt good while it lasted.+0
