So I’m dipping my toes into the Matched Betting World and I just want to know if what I’ve done is right
So I put £2 on a bookmakers which was boosted to 2.0 (Player to have 1 or more shots on target) so if it comes in I win £4 - this I get.
The bit I’m not so sure about - I went onto an exchange website and backed £2 liability at 1.77 odds AGAINST this same scenario (i.e. this player not having a shot on target) potentially winning £2.60. If this scenario happens do I get the £2.60 winnings stated PLUS the £2 stake back like a normal bet - (so £4.60 total winnings?) Or is it just the £2.60 I get?
And if so, applying this same logic, does this mean any bet with a bookmaker with a higher decimal value than what the exchange is laying against will result in either a small profit or break even?
Thanks in advance :)
