BG Bet Refund Promotion – Carling Cup

BG Bet are running the following refund promotion on the Carling Cup game tonight:

Place a bet on the first goalscorer for any of the following Carling Cup games
this week and if the player listed below scores at anytime BG Bet will refund
all losing first goalscorer stakes on that match¹.

Wednesday 23rd January
Everton v Chelsea – Frank Lampard

Method:

The best approach to qualify for this refund promotion from BG Bet is to find a first goal scorer that can be layed at Betfair or one of the other betting exchanges for minimal loss.  The key is to look for close odds between the bet at BG Bet and the lay odds at the betting exhange.  This can be made easier by betting and laying close to kickoff where the odds at the exchange are become shorter allowing a more closer lay bet to that of the bet placed at the bookie.

Should Lampard score during the game then a refund on losing bets will be made in the form of a free bet upto £100.

Betfred have the following offer on the Liverpool v Aston Villa game tonight:

We will refund all losing first/last goalscorer, correct score and scorecast win single bets on the Liverpool v Aston Villa match as a free bet if Fernando Torres scores the last goal.

Method:

The best approach for this losing bet refund offer is to find a bet on either the first goalscorer or correct score markets at Betfred that has odds close to the lay side on offer at one of the betting exchanges.  This enables you to place the bet at Betfred which can then be layed at the betting exchange reducing any risk on the bet to almost nil.

Should the refund condition happen i.e. Torres scores the last goal in the game then an amount equal to your bet at Betfred will be refunded.

The best bet to go for is one where Liverpool don’t score in order to qualify for the refund offer regardless of the match result should Torres score the last goal of the game.
