The Premier League 2019/2020 is starting this Friday and Betfred are getting in on the action by offering us free bets for every goal scored if we place a bet on the Top Goalscorer of the season. All we need to do is place a £10.00 (or £5.00 each way) bet on the Top Goalscorer market and Betfred will give us a £5.00 free bet every time our selection scores August! This gives us a potential profit of £15.58!

Terms of the offer

  • Minimum qualifying bet of £10.00 or £5.00 each way on the Premier League – Top Goalscorer market.
  • Qualifying bet must be placed between 00:00 Monday 5th August 2019 and 20:00 on Friday 9th August 2019.
  • A £5.00 free bet will be credited every time our selection scores a goal in the Premier League between until the Monday 2nd September 2019.
  • Maximum 1 £5.00 free bet per game.

Qualifying Bet and Strategy

We will treat this bet a simple Bet X Get X offer. All we need to do is back and lay a qualifying bet and extract our profit from any £5.00 free bets we receive. As usual we will be finding a close match to place our qualifying bet on. This offer will tie up liquidity for the entire Premier League season so it may be better to place our qualifying bet without laying if your bank roll is small. We should expect to see a few £5.00 free bets covering all of our qualifying bet with the shot of winning big if our selection goes on to be the Top Goalscorer for the season.

However, if you have a big enough bank roll and feel more comfortable in laying the selection then that is entirely up to you. For this example we will be placing our qualifying bet on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang at back odds of 8.0 and lay odds of 8.2.

Please note: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang represents a good value each way bet as the back and lay odds are so close. We could place a £5.00 each way bet on this selection and only lay the win part of the selection. This means we would only need to see 2 goals to make a small profit, while our £5.00 place part of the bet will run until the end of the season with the possibility of our selection coming in the top 4. This method will also tie up less liquidity at the exchange.

As we can see by the calculator, if we place a £10.00 back bet of 8.00 and a lay bet of 8.20 our qualifying loss will be £0.42 whether Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is the 2019/2020 season Top Goalscorer or not.

It’s worth noting that if we combine Top Goalscorer offers from various bookmakers we can lower our liability by placing bets on different selections. This is because only one player can be the top goalscorer (a tied finish will result in dead heat rules), so we only need enough of a bank roll to cover the player with the largest liability exposure.

What’s next?

A £5.00 free bet will be credited every time Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scores a goal (max 1 per match) until Monday 2nd September 2019. If our selection can score a goal in each of the 4 fixtures between the start of the season and Monday 2nd September 2019 we will receive £20.00 in free bets. We should expect to extract 80% cash making our free bets worth at least £16.00. After we take away our initial qualifying loss we should have made ourselves an easy £15.58 in profit
