ComeOn Offer – Community Shield 2015

London rivals Chelsea and Arsenal go head to head in the Community Shield on Sunday and this ComeOn offer is more generous than Howard Webb inside Old Trafford!  Simply place a pre-match single bet of £10.00 on Arsenal v Chelsea and if Petr Cech keeps a clean sheet or Eden Hazard scores anytime in 90 minutes, ComeOn will refund all losing bets.  Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential profit of £7.50 and here’s how…

Qualifying Bet:

If you’re unfamiliar with qualifying bets, please see my Qualifying Bet Strategy page for a walkthrough guide on how to place your qualifying bets.

We must opt-in to be eligible for this offer by entering our usernames on the promotion page.

Our qualifying bet for this offer must be placed at minimum odds of 1.75.  It’s entirely up to you what you place your qualifying bets on.  Having looked at the odds available, I’ve opted to place my qualifying bet on Arsenal to win.

I like to place my exchange lay bets with Smarkets as they have great liquidity, the site is really easy to use and they only charge 2% commission in comparison to the 5% charged by other betting exchanges. We can calculate our lay stakes using the matched betting calculator.

Place £10.00 on Arsenal @ 2.85 = Potential profit of £18.50

Lay £9.69 on Arsenal @ 2.96 = Potential liability of £19.00

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

Arsenal win +£18.50 – £19.00 = £0.50 loss
Arsenal don’t win and trigger occurs -£10.00 + £9.50 + £8.00 (Assumes an 80% return from our £10.00 free bet) = £7.50 profit
Arsenal don’t win and trigger doesn’t occur -£10.00 + £9.50 = £0.50 loss

So if Arsenal don’t win and either Cech keeps a clean sheet or Hazard scores, we will make a nice profit of £7.50. If Arsenal do win or the trigger doesn’t occur, we will make a loss of £0.50 which I’m sure you’ll agree is a risk well worth taking as the potential profit far outweighs the potential loss, making this a profitable offer in the long run.

If you’re not sure how to extract 80% of our £10.00 free bet, please see my Free Bet Strategy page for a walkthrough guide on how it should be done.
