BetVictor Aston Villa vs Arsenal Game of the Day Offer

I love the offers from BetVictor because their odds are some of the most competitive around.  If a Penalty is scored at any time during the  Aston Villa v Arsenal match, BetVictor will refund losing Correct Score, First/Last Goalscorer, Scorecast, Half-Time/Full-Time & Anytime Goalscorer bets as a FREE BET up to £10.00.  Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential profit of £7.55!  And here’s how…

Whenever I do these sort of offers, I always stick to the correct score market.  I find the liquidity at the betting exchange is far better than goalscorer markets and I just feel more comfortable here.

We need to select a correct score and hope it doesn’t come in, as only losing bets are refunded in the event of a penalty being awarded to either side.  Having looked at the odds on offer, I’ve opted for a 1-1 draw.

 

Step 1:

Place £10.00 on 1-1 @ BetVictor @ 10.50 = Potential profit of £95.00.

Lay £10.05 on 1-1 @ Betfair @ 10.50 = Potential liability of £95.48.

Step 2:

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

 

1-1 draw £95.00 – £95.48 = £0.48 loss
Not 1-1 draw with penalty -£10.00 + £9.55 + £8.00 (Assumes an 80% return from our £10.00 free bet) = £7.55 profit
Not 1-1 draw without penalty -£10.00 + £9.55 = £0.45 loss

 

So we will win £7.55 if the game doesn’t isn’t drawn 1-1 and there is a penalty!  If no penalty is awarded, we will make a maximum loss of £0.48, which I’m sure you’ll agree is a risk worth taking as the odds of a penalty being awarded are around 4.00.
