Here’s my summary of the best matched betting and free bet offers for the upcoming Euros (Euro2020), how to qualify for them and how I’ll be playing them
BoyleSports – £10 No Lose Bet on Every England Match
How I’m playing it:
I always take a “no lay” advantage play approach to these.
So I will look at each match and post my selection on my members-only blog.
It means my betting looks more natural (ie less like matched betting) and saves time finding a close match for both the initial bet and any FB refund.
It does mean we sacrifice the guaranteed profit aspect but I am always in front over a season with these.
Betfred – £10 No Lose Pick Your Punt on Every England Match
The same approach here as the BoyleSports offer. I will look to find a decent bet in each game.
Higher prices are best for extracting the most value out of the offer so I tend to go for outsiders, often involving the Draw, HT/FT, and sometimes Correct Scores. A good bet to go for is HT/FT Draw/Draw, coupled with under 2.5 goals if you think the match will be low scoring.
PaddyPower – Free Bets per shot on target
How I’m playing it:
I won’t be playing it as I’m gubbed!
If you do still get Free Bets from Paddys it’s well worth getting involved. You will take a bit of a loss on any of the players in the market however as the odds are not great.
Grosvenor – Bet £10 on Top GS market – get £2 FB per goal
https://www.grosvenorcasinos.com/promotions/euro-golden-boot-10
This isn’t likely to be a big winner, but its easy enough to qualify for if you have a decent exchange balance.
How I’m playing it:
Backing Lukaku @ 8.0 for £10 and laying him off on Smarkets for £8.33 @ 9.6. This is a small loss of £1.67: https://nimb.ws/zDSbNo
WillHill -Bet £10 on Outright Winner Get £5 Free Bet for group match won
How I’m playing it:
£5 e/w Italy @ 10.0 (no lay)
You usually need a solid defence to win a major championship along with a little luck and Italy fit the bill having experienced campaigners Chiellini and Bonucci in front of the excellent Donnarumma in goal. Form doesn’t often count for a lot but Italy do go into the tournament as arguably the form team winning a perfect 10 from 10 in qualifying and and have conceded just 1 goal in their last 10 games. In their final friendly they won 4-0 against the Czech Rep. Allowing zero shots on their own goal. On the Racing Post’s “Power Rankings” for the tournament they are 3rd ranked yet ranked 7th in the market, again pointing to the value.
They are in one of the weaker groups and play all three group games in Rome, so we stand a great chance of getting £15 back in free bets before the knockout rounds.
SkyBet – Bet £10 on Top GS market – get £3 FB per goal
How I’m playing it:
As the SkyBet rules on the market differ to Betfair/Smarkets in the event of a tie, I will “advantage play” this offer, which means I will not lay my bet.
£10 on Romelu Lukaku @ 8.50
Coral Bet 3 x £5 Get £5
How I’m playing it:
I won’t be playing this one as have been gubbed. 😕 If you are not gubbed with Corals then simplay place a £5 bet on a Euros match everyday at 1.5+ and after three days you’ll get a £5 Free Bet.
You should be able to lay off each qualifier for small loss of under 50p so the free bets should “cost” less than £1.50.
PartyPoker – Tournament Winner Free Bets
How I’m playing it:
There’s not a lot of value here but it’s an easy one to qualify for if you have the balance in your Smarkets account.
England can be backed @ 6.5 and layed off on Smarkets @ 7.0 so the qualifying loss is low on this one: https://nimb.ws/FEogJe
Best of the Rest
Bwin have Bet £10 on the winner market get £5, which will only cost about £1 – https://sports.bwin.com/en/sports/events/euro-2020-winner-10774990
Betfair Sportsbook are still running their Bet £20 get £5 Daily Multiples offer (which I’ve covered elsewhere) and its worth checking to see what they are offering on a daily basis. Unibet are also likely to be offering Bet and Get offers so I’ll be checking in with them too.
