Arsenal vs Chelsea Bet365 Free Bet Offer

A fantastic offer from Bet365 just in time for Christmas.  Place a pre-match bet on the Arsenal v Chelsea game and Bet365 will give you a free In-Play bet to the same stake on the big match.  These Bet365 offers don’t come around often enough but when they do, there are big profits to be had.  Here is how…

Bet365 describe the In-Play bet as a ‘free bet’ but this isn’t strictly true.  It should really be referred to as a ‘risk-free’ bet.  We are required to place the In-Play bet using our own funds and if this In-Play bet loses, they will refund it in full.

Step 1:

Place £50 pre-match on Arsenal @Bet365 @ 2.37          Returns £118.50

Place £50 In-Play on the draw @Bet365 @ 3.4          Returns £170.00

Place £37 pre-match on Chelsea @Betfair @ 3.18          Returns £117.66

Step 2:

Let’s have a look at our potential profit/loss for the three potential outcomes…

Arsenal win £118.50 + £50.00 refund = £168.50 – outlay of £137.00 = £31.50 profit.
Draw £170.00 – outlay of £137.00 = £33.00 profit.
Chelsea win £117.66 + £50.00 refund = £167.66 – outlay of £137.00 = £30.66 profit.

So as you can see, no matter what the result of the game, we stand to make a profit of somewhere between £30.66 and £33.00 profit!  How long did that take? 10 minutes?

Merry Christmas!
