Tuesday, 8th of August
There’s no Women’s World Cup match on, until Friday, so we are betting on another football game of the “English Football League Cup” 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 on Tuesday evening or during the day on Wednesday before kick off happens in the evening at 8pm. Give yourself a bit of time as the odds change on the run up to kick off and if you are still a bit new to backing and laying then this might throw you off. If it’s after 6pm or so on Wednesday when you are reading this and you don’t want to rush it, I’ll refresh this page at 7.45pm on Wednesday with something else to bet on, that’s taking place on Thursday, thus giving you more time to place your bet(s) more comfortably.
Money Bet
Sport: Football -> English Football League Cup
Who’s playing: Burton Albion vs Leicester
Date: Wednesday 9th August 2023
Time: 8:00pm
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 Burton Albion vs Leicester
Decimal odds at the bet exchange will be about 4.60 (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 Leicester 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 Leicester 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.

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 Burton Albion vs Leicester

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 Burton Albion 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.
