Bet365 In Play Offer – Arsenal v Manchester United

It’s been a while but the Bet365 in-play offer is back! Place a pre-match bet on Arsenal v Manchester United and Bet365 will give us a risk-free in play bet to the same stake (up to a maximum of £50.00) on the big match. These Bet365 in play offers are the best around as there are big profits to be made. We can make a guaranteed profit of £27.24 on this offer and here’s how…

Our in play bet will be risk-free. This means that we are required to place the in play bet using our own funds and if this in play bet loses, Bet365 will refund it in full in cash (which is withdrawable straight away). It is worth noting that although the current odds for the draw (at the time of writing) are 3.40, this will usually drop slightly when the game kicks off and therefore I have adjusted the odds accordingly in the workings for the following example…

bet365

Place £57.50 (pre-match) on Arsenal @ 2.00 = Returns £115.00

Place £50.00 (in-play) on a draw @ 3.30 = Returns £165.00

Place £30.26 (pre-match) on Man Utd @ 3.80 = Returns £115.00

I’d like to add at this point that it’s always best to stick to round numbers when placing your bets as odd amounts such as £57.50 can easily be flagged up as a matched bet. You could instead place £50.00 on Arsenal with Bet365 and then place the extra £7.50 on Arsenal with another bookmaker, especially if you can get better odds elsewhere. Similarly, with the Man Utd bet, I would stick to round numbers and place £30.00 instead.

Just to let you know, Ladbrokes are also running a great offer on this match. If both teams score in the game, they’ll refund match odds bets as a free bet up to a maximum of £25.00. This is a great opportunity for us to place our Manchester United bets at Ladbrokes and give us ourselves an added chance of scooping a £25.00 free bet if United don’t win the match.

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

Outcome Returns Total Outlay Overall Profit
Arsenal win 115.00 + 50.00 (refund) = 165.00 137.76 £27.24
Draw 165.00 137.76 £27.24
Man Utd win 115.00 + 50.00 (refund) = 165.00 137.76 £27.24

As you can see, no matter what the result of the game, we stand to make a guaranteed profit of £27.24 on this Bet365 in play offer! How long did that take? 10 minutes?

If the odds change between now and kick-off, which is almost a certainty, it’s really easy to recalculate your pre-match stakes.

Start by working out your returns on the in play draw bet. So if the draw odds have changed to 3.50, your returns on the draw would now be £175.00.

To work out your stakes on Arsenal and Man Utd, you need to subtract the £50.00 refund from the £175.00 which gives you £125.00. All you then have to do is divide the £125.00 by the odds (in decimal form) for both Arsenal and Man Utd to get your respective pre-match stakes. Any problems, just give me a shout!

* These Bet365 in play offers are by far the best around but for those of you who have never come across matched betting, there are so many more offers to profit from. I make over £500.00 risk-free profit every month from bookmakers’ offers just like this one.  If you’re interested in finding out more, feel free to have a read of my matched betting guides. My blog is completely free to use! *
