TonyBet Offer – PSG v Chelsea & Roma v Real Madrid

The Champions League knockout stages commence this week and this TonyBet offer is not to be missed. Place a £5.00 Correct Score bet on PSG v Chelsea and/or Roma v Real Madrid and if it loses, TonyBet will refund us as a bonus up to a maximum of £5.00. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed minimum profit of £6.14 and here’s how…

Qualifying Bet:

For this offer we need to select a correct score that has tight back and lay odds. If we underlay our bet instead of matching it completely, we can guarantee ourselves a profit on any outcome. Having looked at the odds available for PSG v Chelsea, I’ve opted to place my qualifying bet on 2-0 to PSG.

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 stake using the ‘Risk-Free Bet’ setting on my matched betting calculator…

As you can see, the calculator tells us that our lay stake should be £3.64…

Place £5.00 on 2-0 PSG @ 7.00 = Potential profit of £30.00

Lay £3.64 on 2-0 PSG @ 8.40 = Potential liability of £26.93

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

2-0 PSG +£30.00 – £26.93 = £3.07 profit
Not 2-0 PSG -£5.00 + £3.57 + £4.50 (extract 90% from our £5.00 bonus) = £3.07 profit

So, regardless of the result of the match, we will make a guaranteed minimum profit of £3.07. If we follow the same strategy for Roma v Real Madrid on Wednesday, we should make a guaranteed minimum profit of £6.14 on this TonyBet offer.

The above calculations are made on the basis that, should our correct score bet lose, we can extract 90% from our £5.00 bonus as cash, so £4.50. This is because any bonuses we receive must be rolled over once at minimum odds of 1.85 or above.
