Qualifying bet
If your qualifying bet loses, Betfair will refund your stake as a free bet, so you can treat this as a Money Back if Bet Loses offer.
You can work out your lay stake using the ‘Money Back if Bet Loses‘ setting on my Matched Betting Calculator. You can enter ‘£8.00‘ as your ‘Cashback’ figure as that is the amount you can expect to convert your £10.00 free bet into, should your bet lose.
As you can see, the calculator tells you that your lay stake should be £5.21.
Place £10.00 on ‘Both teams to Score – Yes’ @ 1.76 = Potential profit of £7.22
Lay £5.21 on ‘Yes’ (Both teams to score) @ 1.77 = Potential liability of £4.01
Outcomes
Let’s look at your profit/loss for the possible outcomes.
So, no matter the outcome, you’ll profit £3.21 on this Betfair Exchange offer!
