How about this for an offer you don’t get every day from a bookmaker.....have a risk free £50 football bet on us. 

Yes this is true, SPORTINGBET  are offering ALL customers old and new a risk free £50 punt on any European Football match (by that they mean any match taking place anywhere in Europe).  Basically if your bet loses they will refund you losses upto £50 in the form of a free bet.  The free bet bonuses have a 1x wagering requirement at odds of evens (2.0) or greater. 

The offer is valid until 30th September so if you have a SPORTINGBET account just dive in or if not just click on the banner below to get signed up and ready to play:



Easy enough to work out using the bet72 online calculator.  Let’s assume we find a selection to back at 4/1 (5.0) and lay at 5.0 on Betfair, just enter the figures in the calculator as below. 


 






The idea is to treat the 1st bet as a stake not returned offer, as that way if you win the first bet you are all done and have ensured virtually the same profit as if the bet had lost. 

If the bet wins at SPORTINGBET  then you would make get £200 back but lose £161.62 at Betfair for a £38.38 profit.  If the bet loses at SPORTINGBET you will lose you £50 stake but win £38.38 at Betfair after commission leaving you £11.62 down but your initial £50 stake is refunded so in effect still a £38.38 profit.  This £50 needs to be wager 1x at 2.0 or above (on any event) but even if you lose a couple of quid doing it you are still over £36 up!

In fact the higher you go in odds the more profit you should make (as long as it is a close lay price) but you will need more funds in Betfair to cover the lay bet so just play around with the figures until you are happy with the outcomes or  just drop us a line if you need anything double checking or working out.
