Two bets placed today, the Coral free bet and a qualifier at Blue Square. The Blue Square free bet is very generous, £50 in total, but slightly more complicated than Coral’s. You get a £25 free bet after placing a £25 bet, and you get a further £25 if you place another 10 bets of £25.
I’ve placed my free £10 Coral bet on Yeovil to win against Nottingham at back odds of 4.334 and lay odds of 4.6 at Betfair. These weren’t quite as close as I would have liked, but it will still return £9.05 of the free £10, so my overall profit at Coral will be £9.21.
The Blue Square qualifier was a bit tricky to find as their odds don’t tend to be very competitive, but I managed to put my £25 on Filippo Volandri to beat Andy Murray at back odds of 1.73 and lay odds of 1.76. This means I will lose 97p on the qualifier, but will of course make this and more back with the free bet. I have no idea if Volandri will beat Murray, and the beauty of matched betting means I don’t care - all I need to worry about are the odds.
Bets to be settled:
Coral: Yeovil v Nottingham (FB) 18/05/07. Expected return £9.05
Blue Square: Volandri v Murray (Q) 15/05/07. Expected return £-0.97
