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.

I realise this is too late now, but just to show people who dismiss this offer or don’t know its available usually a good earner long term.
+0Sorry how do you work out effective odds? And how would you go about laying for guaranteed profit? Cheers
+0Where was the £50 free bet on this game?
+0Oh on the 0-0 Sorry

Effective odds is simple my returns if its 0-0 is £37.77 and I have paid a £2.23 qualifying bet therefore 37.77/2.23 = 16.93 (basically 17, therefore 16/1)
You cannot guarantee profit doing this..then again you probably could depending how low your qualifying loss is but it would only be very very small it wouldn’t be worth it. You’re better off waiting till half time and then if its 0-0 you can lay for a bit of profit, but I tend just to let it run or wait 70th/80th min, but most the time I just let it run all the way.
Tonight I have the beauty of £5 free bet from Sky therefore if its still 0-0 later on i’ll whack £5 free bet on 1-0 and therefore cover most outcomes.
+0But Sky don`t do bore draw

I am well aware of that I’m not an idiot hahah? What are you getting at? I qualified for the sky £5 free bet inplay offer…..and I am going to punt it on 1-0 should 0-0 still be on the cards 70th minute?
+0
That way if its not 0-0 it will hopefully be 1-0 and ill get around £30+ profit from Sky.
If it is 0-0 I will make £37.77 profit from William Hill?Understand now?
+0
Could now guarantee a tenner but going to let it run of course
+0Yeh get it now. It`s a good strategy tbh

No strategy involved just by working out effective odds you can tell if its worth it. I usually don’t do this offer with a qualifying loss above £2+ but because the odds of 0-0 were pretty low it allowed me to take a bigger loss. Usually 0-0 is around 10/1 which means you really need to get a qualifying loss of around £1 or so.
Then again it also depends on the odds the bookies offering, if you can’t get any close matches on any correct scores then you obviously just have to move on and try a different game another time.

im so gutted i missed out on this offer. I did everything but this offer!put my sky free bet on 0-0/25 free bet on draw and i jsut didnt think to do this one!well done for backing it and it looks good now!
+0
May I ask why you put your £25 free bet on a draw? looks like its coming off for you but still why did you not back and lay as usual and get a guaranteed £22 profit(ish) instead of risking it for slightly more? As youll be getting what £50 profit from your draw which was a total gamble…as FOG has explained previously if your going to punt a free bet always go 5/1 + otherwise you’re not getting the value from your free bet.
Well when you say everything but this offer its not really an offer as such its on going for every single game so its not one that people do often.+0
Well unlucky 1-0 Middlesbrough 90th min looks like you’ve just lost your £25 free bet mate…hence like I say its never worth punting it like that.
I used my £5 free bet on 1-0 to cover myself should a goal go in so still £30 profit for me.+0
purely because i made really good profit this week and just really fancied it. I have got a fair few free bets so i was happy to take a risk with one of them by not laying it. No i know its not really an offer its a regular promotion i just always seem to miss out but forgeting about it. I have tried doing it before but jsut couldnt get close enough matches for me to be able to lay it!Wow as i write this 1-0!lucky i laid it minute ago for £55!
