Setting up a free matched bet
I used the Portugal v Turkey game today to set up a matched bet by taking advantage of an online bookmakers signup offer. I deposited £20 in my new account and bet this on the game being a draw at odds of 3.5. I then lay against the game being a draw on Betfair at odds of 3.55. So the possible outcomes were:
| Betfair | Bookmaker | Total | |
| Draw | -£51.00 | £50.00 | -£1.00 |
| Portugal/Turkey win | £19.00 | -£20.00 | -£1.00 |
