We’ve had so many Bet365 offers this season, it wouldn’t be right to end it without one and they haven’t let us down. The £50.00 Bet365 in play offer is back again! Place a pre-match bet on the Juventus v Barcelona 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 offers don’t come around often enough, but when they do, there are big profits to be made. We can make a guaranteed profit of £29.50 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, 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 4.00, 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…
Place £92.30 (pre-match) on Barcelona @ 1.571 = Returns £145.00
Place £50.00 (in-play) on a draw @ 3.90 = Returns £195.00
Place £23.20 (pre-match) on Juventus @ 6.25 = Returns £145.00
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 £92.30 can easily be flagged up as a matched bet. You could instead place £50.00 on Barcelona with Bet365 and then place the extra £42.30 on Barcelona with another bookmaker, especially if you can get better odds elsewhere. Similarly, with the BetVictor bet, I would stick to round numbers and place £23.00 instead.
Just to let you know, there is a Paddy Power in play offer available on this match so you could place your Juventus bet with Paddy Power and claim 2 x £5.00 free bets to be used in play!
Let’s have a look at our profit/loss for the three potential outcomes…
| Outcome | Returns | Total Outlay | Overall Profit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Barcelona win | 145.00 + 50.00 (refund) = 195.00 | 165.50 | £29.50 |
| Draw | 195.00 | 165.50 | £29.50 |
| Juventus win | 145.00 + 50.00 (refund) = 195.00 | 165.50 | £29.50 |
So as you can see, no matter what the result of the game, we stand to make a guaranteed profit of £29.50 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 4.20, your returns on the draw would now be £210.00.
To work out your stakes on Barcelona and Juventus, you need to subtract the £50.00 refund from the £210.00 which gives you £160.00. All you then have to do is divide the £160.00 by the odds (in decimal form) for both Barcelona and Juventus 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’ve made over £4,500 risk-free profit since the start of 2014 and my profit log shows how I’ve made and lost every penny. Feel free to have a read of my matched betting guide and give it a go.
