The Big Bash League 2021/22 season gets underway on Sunday, and Betfred are getting in on the action! Bet £20.00+ on the tournament winner, and Betfred will give us £5.00 in free bets every time our selected team scores 180+ runs. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential profit of £15.93 and here’s how…

We can calculate our lay stakes using my Matched Betting Calculator…
As you can see, the calculator tells us that our lay stake should be £16.22…
Place £20.00 on Melbourne Stars @ 5.50 = Potential profit of £90.00
Lay £16.22 on Melbourne Stars @ 6.80 = Potential liability of £94.07
Outcomes
Let’s have a look at our potential profit/loss for the possible outcomes…
| Outcome | Betfred | Betfair | Profit/Loss |
|---|---|---|---|
| Melbourne Stars win | + £90.00 | – £94.07 | £4.07 loss |
| Another team wins | – £20.00 | + £15.89 | £4.11 loss |
So, no matter the outcome, we’ll lose a maximum of £4.11 in qualifying for our potential free bets.
Free bets
We’ll receive £5.00 in free bets every time our team scores 180+ runs. Free bets will be credited within 24 hours and valid for 7 days.
Melbourne Stars will play 14 matches in the double round-robin stage, plus potential knockout matches if they qualify. If Melbourne Stars score 180+ runs five times, we’ll receive £25.00 in free bets.
Using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to convert our free bets into 80% cash, so £20.00. If we take into account our minimum qualifying loss of £4.07, this gives us a potential profit of £15.93 on this Betfred offer!
* Melbourne Stars scored 180+ runs in two matches and Perth Scorchers won the tournament, resulting in £3.89 profit on this Betfred offer. *
