- Register an account with talkSPORT BET.
- Opt into the promotion.
- Deposit £5 using a debit card (high-street banks only).
- Switch to decimal odds (the ‘Euro style odds’ setting).
Qualifying bet
- Check the back odds at talkSPORT BET and the lay odds at Smarkets to find a suitable selection. Your qualifying bet must be placed at minimum odds of 2.00 (evens). Look for odds around 5.00 (4/1) and above, as high odds should give you more profit than low odds.
- Calculate the ‘implied odds’ you’re getting with the profit boost. For example, if your selection has back odds of 5.00, your implied odds are 11.40.
5.00 (back odds) – 1.00 (stake) = 4.00
4.00 x 2 (200% boost) = 8.00
8.00 x 0.8 (free bet conversion) = 6.40
6.40 + 5.00 (back odds) = 11.40 (implied odds)
- Use the ‘Qualifying Bet‘ setting on the Matched Betting Calculator to calculate your lay stake. Enter your implied odds as your ‘Back odds‘.
- Place your £5 qualifying back bet at talkSPORT BET (within 7 days of registering).
- Place your lay bet against the same selection at Smarkets.
Profit boost
- If your qualifying bet loses, you’ll make your profit at Smarkets, and you don’t need to place any further bets. If your qualifying bet wins, talkSPORT BET will boost your winnings by 200% as a free bet, up to a maximum of £300.
- Free bets will be credited upon settlement of your qualifying bet.
- Check the back odds at talkSPORT BET and the lay odds at Smarkets to find a suitable selection.
- Use the ‘Free Bet‘ setting on the Matched Betting Calculator to calculate your lay stake.
- Place your free back bet at talkSPORT BET (valid for 7 days).
- Place your lay bet against the same selection at Smarkets.
Aim for a £6.00 profit on this talkSPORT BET offer as a rough guide.
