It’s Man Utd v Leicester in the Premier League on Saturday, and you don’t want to miss this 888sport offer! Place a £1.00+ Bet Builder bet on Man Utd v Leicester, and if our bet loses, 888sport will refund our stake as a free bet up to £10.00. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a profit of £3.95 and here’s how…
Key terms
- Applies to Bet Builder bets placed on Man Utd v Leicester (kick-off: 17:30 on Saturday 2nd April 2022).
- Minimum stake of £1.00.
- Minimum odds of 3.00 (2/1).
- 888sport will refund your stake as a free bet, up to £10.00 if your bet loses.
- The free bet will be valid for 7 days.
- The free bet stake will not be returned with any winnings.
Qualifying bet
If our bet loses, our stake will be refunded as a free bet, so we can treat this as a Money back if bet loses offer.
We’ll need to build a bet that we can lay at the betting exchanges in one bet. Please see my Bet Builders guide for more information about them and how they work.
At the time of writing, Man Utd win / Both teams to score – Yes / Under 3.5 goals is available at back odds of 6.75 (23/4). The lay odds are currently 9.80.
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.
- Money back as cash up to £20
- 0% commission for 60 days
We can work out our lay stake by using the ‘Money Back if Bet Loses’ setting on my Matched Betting Calculator. We can enter £8.00 as our ‘Cashback’ figure as this is the amount we can expect to convert our £10.00 free bet into, should our bet lose…
As you can see, the calculator tells us that our lay stake should be £6.08…
Place £10.00 on ‘Man Utd win / Both teams to score – Yes / Under 3.5 goals’ @ 6.75 = Potential profit of £57.50
Lay £6.08 on ‘2-1’ (Correct Score) @ 9.80 = Potential liability of £53.50
Outcomes
Let’s look at our potential profit/loss for the possible outcomes…
| Outcome | 888sport | Betfair | Free Bet | Profit/Loss |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Man Utd win 2-1 | + £57.50 | – £53.50 | + £4.00 | £8.00 profit |
| Any other outcome | – £10.00 | + £5.95 | + £8.00 | £3.95 profit |
So, no matter the outcome, we’ll make a minimum profit of £3.95 on this 888sport offer!
If our qualifying bet loses, the free bet will be valid for 7 days. The free bet stake will not be returned with any winnings.
