Thursday, 17th of August
There’s still no Women’s World Cup match until Saturday (For 3rd and 4th place) but you’ve still got options. We have a premier league match tomorrow (Friday evening) that we can bet on if we like… Or if you feel comfortable in doing so then you can bet on any horse race today or tomorrow in the day to get your free bets and/or turn your free bets into money. It’s up to you!
If you want to do the bet below, ideally place it either this evening or even, tomorrow in the day before it kicks off tomorrow evening (As opposed to placing it Thursday morning or daytime, for example, just because it looks a bit more like the average punter by placing it closer to when the match kicks off).
Money Bet
Sport: Football -> Premier League
Who’s playing: Nottm Forest v Sheff Utd (Aka Nottingham Forest vs Sheffield United)
Date: Friday, 18th August 2023
Time: 7.45pm
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 Nottm Forest v Sheff Utd
Decimal odds at the bet exchange will be about 3.65 (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 chance that you will be able to place your money bet on Nottingham Forest 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 Nottingham Forest to win, are greater than 1.50 then you could use this instead if you like.
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 taken 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.

Lay Bet: Lay the Draw at the Nottm Forest v Sheff Utd

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.
Note that if you feel comfortable, then you could also able to place your free bet(s) on Sheffield Utd winning or on the draw of any matches or in fact anything that you can back at the bookmaker you are currently doing and lay at the bet exchange. 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.
