Thursday, 3rd of August
There’s no Women’s World Cup match on, on Friday, so we are betting on the first football game of the English Championship instead… Note that there is pretty much always something to bet on, whether it be the Women’s World Cup, football, horse racing, or anything really, so this is proof that we can profit every day of the year from what you are learning here… Let’s go!
Place your bet in the evening from 7pm UK time on Thursday, the 3rd of August or anytime on Friday, the 4th of August during the day before it kicks off at 8pm.
Money Bet
Sport: Football -> English Championship
Who’s playing: Sheff Wed v Southampton
Date: Friday 4th August 2023
Time: 8:00pm
Outcome: Southampton
Back Bet: Bet on Southampton to Win at the bookmaker (Bet with the bookmaker that your day # challenge says to bet with).
Lay Bet: Lay Southampton at the Bet Exchange on Sheff Wed v Southampton
Decimal odds at the bet exchange will be about 2.35 (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.
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.
Sport: Football -> English Championship
Who’s playing: Sheff Wed v Southampton
Date: Friday 4th August 2023
Time: 8:00pm
Outcome: Sheffield Wednesday
Back Bet: Bet on Sheffield Wednesday to win at the bookmaker (Bet with the bookmaker that your day # challenge says to bet with).
Lay Bet: Lay Sheffield Wednesday at the Bet Exchange on Sheff Wed v Southampton
Decimal odds at the bet exchange will be about 3.50 (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.
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 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.
