The Rugby World Cup 2019 gets underway this Friday and you don’t want to miss out on this Paddy Power Free Bet promotion! All we need to do is place a £10.00 (or £5.00 each way) on any Rugby World Cup market and Paddy Power will give us a £5.00 free bet! With simple matched betting we have a guaranteed profit of £3.54!

Terms of the offer

  • Minimum odds of 1.5.0 (1/2) or greater.
  • Minimum stake of £10.00 or £5.00 each way on any Rugby World Cup market up until 12:00 on Friday 20th September 2019.
  • Free bet will be credited immediately and be valid on any Rugby World Cup fixtures between 20th – 23rd September 2019.

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 the £5.00 free bet. As usual we will be finding a close match to place our qualifying bet on with odds above 1.50. We should aim to lose no less than £0.50 for this offer. We have opted to place our qualifying bet on France at odds of 1.83 ( game starts 21/09/2019 08:15).

As we can see by the matched betting calculator, our £10.00 back bet at odds of 1.83 and lay odds of 1.90 results in a £0.46 loss whether wins the match or not.

What’s next?

Our £5.00 free bet will be credited immediately and be valid on any Rugby World Cup fixtures between 20th – 23rd September 2019. We should expect to extract 80% cash making our free bet worth at least £4.00. After we take away our initial qualifying loss we should have made ourselves an easy £3.54 in profit.
