Lay £7.89 on Jos Buttler @ 16.50 = Potential liability of £122.29

Outcomes

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

OutcomeBetfredBetfairProfit/Loss
Buttler top scores+ £120.00– £122.29£2.29 loss
Another player top scores– £10.00+ £7.73£2.27 loss

So, no matter the outcome, we’ll lose a maximum of £2.29 in qualifying for our potential free bets.

Free bets

We’ll receive £5.00 in free bets for every half-century our selection scores. Free bets will be credited within 24 hours of our player scoring a half-century and will be valid for 7 days.

If Jos Buttler scores two half-centuries, 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 £2.27, this gives us a potential profit of £5.73 on this Betfred offer!

* Babar Azam (Pakistan) finished top batsman with Jos Buttler scoring two half centuries (71 & 101), resulting in a profit of £5.73 on this Betfred offer. *
