Outcomes

Let’s have a look at our potential profit/loss for the possible outcomes…

OutcomeGrosvenorSmarketsProfit/Loss
Australia win+ £11.50– £12.17£0.67 loss
Australia lose or draw– £10.00+ £9.31£0.69 loss

So, no matter the outcome, we’ll lose a maximum of £0.69 in qualifying for our potential free bets.

Free bets

We’ll receive a £2.00 free bet each time an England Batsman scores 50 runs in a 1st Test innings. Free bets will be credited within 24 hours and valid for 4 days.

If an English Batsman scores 50 runs five times, we’ll receive £10.00 in free bets.

Using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to convert our free bets into 80% cash, so £8.00. If we take into account our minimum qualifying loss of £0.67, this gives us a potential profit of £7.33 on this Grosvenor offer!

* Australia won the 1st Test, with two England Batsmen scoring 50 runs in an innings, resulting in £2.53 profit on this Grosvenor offer. *
