Sunday, 16th of June
Just like yesterday and tomorrow… There are three matches on today for Euro 2024 and to be honest, you could bet on any of them to get free bets and also to turn free bets into money. However with England playing today it almost seems rude not to bet on them! But seriously, it also makes sense from an account preservation point of view, ie if you are from the UK and especially from England, then it’s quite natural to bet on the England match.
Place your bet on England anytime over the weekend, before the match kicks off! Here you go:
Money Bet
Sport: Football -> Euro 2024
Who’s playing: Serbia vs England
Date: Sunday June 16
Time: 8pm UK time
Outcome: Draw
Back Bet: Bet on the Draw at the bookmaker (Bet with the bookmaker that your day # challenge says to bet with).
Lay Bet: Lay the Draw at the Bet Exchange on Serbia vs England
Decimal odds at the bet exchange will be about 4.70 (Give or take a bit either way, Ie. it might be a bit higher or lower than this) and remember that the bookmaker odds will nearly always be lower than your lay odds at the bet exchange.
Note that if you feel comfortable, then there is a small chance that you will be able to place your money bet on England winning, as long as the odds at the time are above the minimum odds required to qualify for your bookmaker’s offer. Ie. If you need to place your first bet at odds of 1.50 or greater and the odds at the bookmaker for England to win, are greater than 1.50 then you could use this instead. The benefit is that you don’t need as much money in your bet exchange account to place the lay bets at lower odds and it’s quite nice to bet on England knowing that you will be making money whatever the outcome from these matches! At the time of writing this the odds for England to win are just under 1.50 with most bookies, so you might have to bet on the draw. As I’ve said before, the odds can change a lot during these tournaments, so see what the odds are like when you go to place your trade!
For both the money bet and free bet – Use the Betting Calculator to determine the amount that you need to Lay to return the exact same amount. Go back to your training in the Getting Started lesson if you need to go over this again.
Free Bet
Your free bet should have arrived from yesterday’s money bet (If you did one) with a bit of luck, so you can now place that free bet and make some money! Note that if it hasn’t arrived in your account after your money bet has been “Settled” (Ie. the event taking place), then give it several hours or so before contacting the bookmakers’ live chat and asking where your free bet is. This can happen sometimes, so just be aware.
Sport: Football -> Euro 2024
Who’s playing: Serbia vs England
Date: Sunday June 16
Time: 8pm UK time
Outcome: Draw
Back Bet: Bet on the Draw at the bookmaker (Bet with the bookmaker that your day # challenge says to bet with).
Lay Bet: Lay the Draw at the Bet Exchange on Serbia vs England
Just to keep things nice and simple, I’ll often be recommending to use the same match/event/outcome to bet on with your free bets. By all means, you can bet on any match/event/outcome as soon as you feel comfortable in doing so. We are just using events to turn our free bets into money… Just remember that the higher and tighter the back and lay odds, the higher the profits are from your free bets (But you need more money in your bet exchange account to cover that higher liability).
The bookmaker you use will depend on which day # you are currently doing. We recommend doing 1 day, per day. Ie. 1 money bet and 1 free bet maximum per day, until you are comfortable with doing more. Go back to the “Let’s go” lesson if you need to remind yourself of how this all works and see full details in the “Getting Started” lesson.
