Arsenal v Man City Offer – Unibet

It’s Arsenal v Man City in Sunday’s late kick-off and Unibet are getting in on the action! They’re giving customers a 25% profit boost to use in play on the big match! Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £2.50 and here’s how…

Key Terms:

  • This offer is Day 15 of Unibet’s Advent Calendar.
  • Maximum stake of £20.00.
  • Available on any Arsenal v Man City pre-match or in play market.
  • Choose your bet and tick the box in your bet slip before you place it.

Qualifying bet:

If you’re unfamiliar with qualifying bets, please see my Qualifying Bet Strategy page for a walk-through guide on how it should be done.

Once a selection has been added to our betslip, the profit boost will boost our odds by 25%.

Having looked at the odds available, we could place our bet on a Draw in the Full Time market.

At the time of writing, the back odds are 5.60, so we need to work out what our new odds will be once the 25% profit boost has been applied…

5.60 – 1.00 (stake) = 4.60
4.60 * 1.25 (25%) = 5.75
5.75 + 1.00 (stake) = 6.75

At the time of writing, laying our bet at Smarkets gives us the biggest guaranteed profit.

We can calculate our lay stake using my matched betting calculator.

Lay £22.96 on a draw @ 5.90 = Potential liability of £112.50

Outcomes:

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