Do you get the free bet money back?

Additionally free bets are inherently worse than cash because if you win you do not receive your stake back, just the profit of the bet. For example, if you place a $25 free bet on +100 odds your payout would only be the $25 profit, not $50 ($25 stake + $25 profit).

Strategies for Using Free Bet Credits

You may be thinking that you should use your Free Bet on a sure-fire favorite, that way there’s a really high likelihood you don’t lose. However this is a bit of a trap, because of the key difference of not getting your stake back with the bet. If you have a $250 free bet and you place it on the Golden State Warriors, who are -450 favorites to beat the Knicks your payout will only be $62.50. The downside is that while you won your bet, you are only getting $62.50 out of your one time use $250 free bet. By doing this you’re not maximizing your potential winnings from this credit. It is best to place free bets on longer odds to maximize the expected value of the credit. -500 odds, $25 free bet expected value = 5/6 x 1/5 x $25 = $4.17 -200 odds, $25 free bet expected value = 2/3 x 1/2 x $25 = $8.33 +200 odds, $25 free bet expected value = 1/3 x 2 x $25 = $16.67 +500 odds, $25 free bet expected value = 1/6 x 5 x $25 = $20.83 The math here can certainly look intimidating, but let’s break it down further:

Expected Value Calculation: EV = Implied Probability x Payout x Stake

When we plug in all the values from our examples above, we can see that longer odds bets have a higher expected value. With longer odds bets, the implied probability of the bet decreases. Over time, you will be profitable betting longer odds with free bets. But, what if you want to guarantee yourself profit for a particular free bet? OddsJam has a dedicated section to provide free bet conversion opportunities. First, head to the Low Holds page. Here, you can enter the book in which you have the free bet. Then, sort by Conversion %. You will find the most profitable opportunities to use your free bet.

How to use a Free Bet:

In the example below, you are placing $100 on u4.5 Goals (+325). Remember: we ALWAYS bet the underdog side of the wager with our free bet. If you hedge this bet on o4.5 Goals on another book, you are locking in $72.22 in profit. Let’s break down that math:

Free Bet Credit: $100

If the Under Wins: You win $325 in profit from your free bet (remember you do not win back your stake with a free bet). You then lose your stake in the hedge bet ($252.78). You profit is $325-252.78 = $72.22 If the Over Wins: Your hedge bet nets $72.22 in profit. Since you bet the other side in a free bet, you lose no cash balance on that side. Your total profit remains $72.22 The Bottom Line: Your expected value on the straight wager with the $100 free bet would be $76.47 (1/4.25 x 3.25 x $25). So, hedging your bet is a lower expected value, but the profits are locked in when you make the hedge bet.
