Bet365 In Play Offer – Atletico Madrid v Real Madrid

The £50.00 Bet365 in play offer is back!  Place a pre-match bet on the Atletico Madrid v Real Madrid game 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 free bet offers don’t usually come around often enough, but when they do, there are big profits to be made.  We can make a guaranteed minimum profit of £31.98 with 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, they 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 following example…

bet365

Place £50.00 (pre-match) on Real Madrid @ 2.70 = Returns £135.00

Place £56.06 (in-play) on the Draw @ 3.30 = Returns £185.00

Place £46.96 (pre-match) on Atletico Madrid @ 2.875 = Returns £135.01

I’d like to add at this point that in reality it’s always better to stick to round numbers when placing your bets rather than amounts such as £56.06 as this can be easily flagged up as a matched bet. You could instead place £55.00 or even £50.00 and adjust the other numbers accordingly or place the difference with another bookmaker.

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

Outcome Returns Total Outlay Overall Profit
Atletico Madrid win 135.01 + 50.00 (refund) = 185.01 153.02 £31.99
Draw 185.00 153.02 £31.98
Real Madrid win 135.00 + 50.00 (refund) = 185.00 153.02 £31.98

So as you can see, no matter what the result of the game, we stand to make a guaranteed minimum profit of £31.98 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 pre-match Real Madrid bet.  So if the Real Madrid odds have changed to 2.80, your returns would now be £140.00 + £50.00 refund.

All you then have to do is divide the £140.00 by the odds (in decimal form) for Atletico Madrid to get your pre-match stake.  To work out your in play stake for the draw, you will need to divide the £190.00 by the odds (in decimal form) for the draw.  Any problems, just give me a shout!
