This Betfair offer will require you to find your own match for the qualifying bet because, up to now, it’s not possible to use odds matching software to compare in-play odds on the exchange and bookmaker websites. Do it yourself by opening Betfair Sportsbook’s in-play console for the game and do the same on another betting exchange, like Smarkets.

In-play markets can be quite volatile so it might be best to wait until half-time when the prices tend to hold steady for longer. Look for markets with odds close to the 1.2 minimum allowed in the terms, although any market with an odds on selection could suffice. Use a matched betting calculator to work out the qualifying loss and once satisfied, place the back bet with the Sportsbook and lay it on the exchange.
