Winner In Play Offer – Olympiacos v Arsenal

Arsenal need a result at Olympiacos tonight and Winner are getting in on the action. Place a pre-match bet on Olympiacos v Arsenal and Winner will give us a risk-free in play bet to the same stake (up to a maximum of £20.00) on the big match. These in play offers are the best around as there are big profits to be made. We can make a guaranteed profit of £9.83 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, Winner will refund it as a free bet.

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. If we’re quick, we shouldn’t have any problem getting our in play bet on at the pre-match odds. If we’re not quick, then the odds are likely to drop slightly and it’s always worth bearing that in mind when calculating our stakes.

If our in play bet loses, we will receive a £20.00 refund as a free bet. By using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to extract  80% of our free bet as cash, so £16.00. Check out my Free Bet Strategy page for a walk-through guide on how this should be done.

Place £28.78 (pre-match) on Arsenal @ 2.05 = Returns £59.00

Place £20.00 (in-play) on a draw @ 3.75 = Returns £75.00

Place £16.39 (pre-match) on Olympiacos @ 3.60 = Returns £59.00

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 £28.78 can easily be flagged up as a matched bet. You should instead place £20.00 on Arsenal with Winner and then place the extra £9.00 on Arsenal with another bookmaker, especially if you can get better odds elsewhere.

It’s worth noting that there is also a William Hill in play offer available on this match so you might want to place £20.00 on Olympiacos with them to bag a £10.00 in play free bet.

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

Outcome Returns Total Outlay Overall Profit
Olympiacos win 59.00 + 16.00 (extracted from £20.00 free bet refund) = 75.00 65.17 £9.83
Draw 75.00 65.17 £9.83
Arsenal win 59.00 + 16.00 (extracted from £20.00 free bet refund) = 75.00 65.17 £9.83

As you can see, no matter what the result of the game, we stand to make a guaranteed profit of £9.83 on this Winner 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 3.80, your returns on the draw would now be £76.00.

To work out your stakes on Olympiacos and Arsenal, you need to subtract the £16.00 (extracted from our £20.00 free bet refund) from the £76.00 which gives you £60.00 and then divide the £60.00 by the odds (in decimal form) for both Olympiacos and Arsenal to get your respective pre-match stakes. Any problems, just give me a shout!

* These 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 make over £500.00 risk-free profit every month from bookmakers’ offers just like this one.  If you’re interested in finding out more, feel free to have a read of my matched betting guides. My blog is completely free to use! *
