The Bet365 in play offer is back again! Place a pre-match bet on Bayern Munich v Arsenal 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 minimum profit of £33.61 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).
The first step when doing these offers, is to decide which outcome we should place our in play bet on. Having looked at the odds available, it’s most profitable to place our in play bet on the draw. It is worth noting that although the current odds on a draw (at the time of writing) are 5.25, this is likely to drop slightly when the game kicks off and therefore I have adjusted the odds accordingly in the workings for the following example…
Place £142.86 (pre-match) on Bayern Munich @ 1.40 = Returns £200.00
Place £50.00 (in-play) on a draw @ 5.00 = Returns £250.00
Place £23.53 (pre-match) on Arsenal @ 8.50 = Returns £200.01
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 £142.86 can easily be flagged up as a matched bet. You should instead place £50.00 on Bayern Munich with Bet365 and then place the extra £90.00 on Bayern Munich with another bookmaker, especially if you can get better odds elsewhere. Similarly, with the Arsenal bet, I would stick to round numbers and place £25.00 instead.
Let’s have a look at our profit/loss for the three potential outcomes…
| Outcome | Returns | Total Outlay | Overall Profit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bayern Munich win | 200.00 + 50.00 (refund) = 250.00 | 216.39 | £33.61 |
| Draw | 250.00 | 216.39 | £33.61 |
| Arsenal win | 200.01 + 50.00 (refund) = 250.01 | 216.39 | £33.62 |
As you can see, no matter what the result of the game, we stand to make a guaranteed minimum profit of £33.61 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 4.50, your returns on the draw would now be £225.00.
To work out your stakes on Bayern Munich and Arsenal, you need to subtract the £50.00 refund from the £225.00 which gives you £175.00 and then divide the £175.00 by the odds (in decimal form) for both Bayern Munich and Arsenal to get your respective pre-match stakes. Any problems, just give me a shout!
