It’s Chelsea v Liverpool in the FA Cup Final on Saturday, and you don’t want to miss this 888sport offer! Place a £1.00+ Bet Builder on Chelsea v Liverpool, and if your bet loses, 888sport will refund your stake as a free bet up to £10.00. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives you a profit of £4.28 and here’s how…
Key terms
- Applies to Bet Builder bets placed on Chelsea v Liverpool (16:45 on Saturday 14th May 2022).
- Minimum stake of £1.00.
- Minimum odds of 3.00 (2/1).

Qualifying bet
If your bet loses, your stake will be refunded as a free bet, so you can treat this as a Money back if bet loses offer.
You’ll need to build a bet that you can lay at a betting exchange in one bet. Please see my Bet Builders guide for more information about them and possible selections.
At the time of writing, ‘Draw / Under 3.5 goals‘ is available to back at odds of 4.25 (13/4).
You can lay ‘Draw/Under 3.5 Goals‘ in the ‘Match Odds and Over/Under 3.5 Goals‘ market at odds of 5.40.
If your qualifying bet is placed at odds of 5.00 (4/1) or greater and wins, 888sport will give you a £5.00 free bet, courtesy of their daily ‘4/1 Winner Offer’.
Either exchange works for this offer
Betfair and Smarkets are both great options for this offer. If you’ve not used one of them, now is a great time to give them a try.
- 2% commission for all new signups
- 0% commission for 60 days
You can work out your lay stake by using the ‘Money Back if Bet Loses‘ setting on my Matched Betting Calculator. You can enter £8.00 as your ‘Cashback’ figure as this is the amount you can expect to convert your £10.00 free bet into, should your bet lose…
As you can see, the calculator tells you that your lay stake should be £6.41…
Place £10.00 on ‘Draw / Under 3.5 goals’ @ 4.25 = Potential profit of £32.50
Lay £6.41 on ‘Draw/Under 3.5 Goals’ @ 5.40 = Potential liability of £28.20
Outcomes
Let’s look at your potential profit/loss for the possible outcomes…
| Outcome | 888sport | Betfair | Free Bet | Profit/Loss |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Draw and under 3.5 goals | + £32.50 | – £28.20 | £4.30 profit | |
| Any other outcome | – £10.00 | + £6.28 | + £8.00 | £4.28 profit |
So, no matter the outcome, you’ll make a minimum profit of £4.28 on this 888sport offer!
Your free bet will be valid for 7 days, and the free bet stake will not be returned with any winnings.
