Coral – Bet £5 Pre-Match, Get £5 In-Play – NFL

Another great in-play offer from Coral.  Place a pre-match £5.00+ Win Single bet at odds of 1/5 (1.2) or greater on any market in the New Orleans Saints @ Seattle Seahawks match on 11th January and get a £5.00 free in-play bet to use on the same match.  Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential profit of over £2.80.  And here’s how…

 

Step 1:

The terms and conditions state that our qualifying bet must be at minimum odds of 1.5.  With this in mind and having looked at the odds available, I’ve decided to place my bet on New Orleans Saints to win.

Place £5.00 on New Orleans Saints @ Coral @ 4.00 = Potential profit of £15.00.

Lay £4.60 on New Orleans Saints @ Betfair @ 4.40 = Potential liability of £15.64.

Step 2:

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

 

New Orleans Saints win +£15.00 – £15.64 = -£0.64
New Orleans Saints don’t win -£5.00 + £4.37 (£4.60 minus 5% commission) = -£0.63

 

So the maximum we stand to lose is £0.64 in order to claim our free £5.00 in-play bet.

 

Step 3:

Our account will be credited with the free bet at 9:36pm and expires at the end of the game.  By using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to extract at least 70% of this free bet, so approximately £3.50.  I like to place my in-play bets during an interval so that there is less chance of the odds fluctuating whilst I’m placing the bets.  If we take into consideration our initial maximum loss of £0.64, we should make around £2.86 profit on this offer.
