I sent in an email and within half an hour I get the free bet credited to my account in AscotSports. Not bad huh? The Bet is not stake returned  but I dealt with that when I set up the new matched bet in the Spreadsheet. I backed the draw in the Aston Villa game at odds of 3.55 and the best odds I could get for the lay on Betfair was 3.95.

The spreadsheet tells me to place a bet of €29.42 on the lay side of the draw on Betfair. This gives me a liability of €86.80. Thats what I lose on Betfair if it ends as a draw. But I will have €114 as winnings on AscotSports. The spreadsheet tells me that I will have profit of €27.95 whichever way it goes.

I would prefer if either side wins though to have the money cashed out in Betfair. Or I will be making a withdraw through AscotSports.

here is a screen shot I took earlier of the position I had on the Bundesliga game. I decided at 70 minutes to not take any chances and green up. It would have been great if Duisburg had come from behind and scored enough to win I would have had money on both sides of the matched bet. It cost me €3.50 to do that but I did have the peace of mind for the last 20 minutes of the game.
