I originally posted this in the discussion about matched betting thread but thought it probably needed its own thread, so as to not get lost
Betfair regularly do a 'Bet £10 on Man Utd/Arsenal/Tottenham etc and get a £5 Free Bet to use on a Same Game Multi type bet.
It is sometimes possible to lay the bets off - if you can get odds that are fairly close to each other.
Go to Betfair, click on the Sportsbook tab.
Pick the football match you are interested in doing.
Look for the 'Same Game Multi' tab near the top (circled in red), click on it, to bring up your options.
You can now pick your options. Minimum of 3 needed for the free bet bonus to work.
To do a bet that is layable, try the following:
Pick a team to bet on,
select BTTS - YES, (both teams to score)
select Over 1.5 goals (make sure this is for the TOTAL goals and NOT for half time goals etc), for both teams to score there HAS to be at least 2 goals
You can LAY this as a Winner BTTS on Smarkets
Use the Normal Calculator to see if it is worth doing - set it to SNR mode - 0% commission at Betfair (no commission for BFSB back bets) - and whatever commission you are currently on at Smarkets exchange.
**Make sure the 'bonus' is showing in the BFSB slip and that it is selected to use this for the bet.
As you get into them more you can try other alternatives, or just treat it as a punt/advantage play and add more options.
