Aston Villa v Derby Offer – Unibet

It’s Aston Villa v Derby in the Championship Play-Off Final on Monday and you don’t want to miss this Unibet ‘Bet £10, Get £5’ offer! Place a £10.00 bet on Aston Villa v Derby and Unibet will give us a £5.00 free bet. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £3.71 and here’s how…

Key Terms:

  • Minimum stake of £10.00.
  • Qualifying bets must be placed on Aston Villa v Derby before 15:00 (kick-off) on Monday 27th May 2019.
  • Qualifying bets must be placed at odds of 1.40 (2/5) or greater.

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.

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

At the time of writing, laying our bet at Smarkets gives us the smallest qualifying loss.

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

Place £10.00 on a draw @ 3.30 = Potential profit of £23.00

Smarkets logo

Lay £9.91 on a draw @ 3.35 = Potential liability of £23.28

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

Outcome Bookie Exchange Profit/Loss
Draw +£23.00 -£23.28 £0.28 loss
Not a draw -£10.00 +£9.71 £0.29 loss

So, regardless of the outcome, we’ll lose a maximum of £0.29 in qualifying for our £5.00 free bet.

Free Bet:

Our £5.00 free bet will be credited within 24 hours of our qualifying bet being settled.

By using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to extract 80% cash from our £5.00 free bet, so £4.00. If we take into account our maximum qualifying loss of £0.29, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £3.71 on this Unibet offer!

* Aston Villa won the match 2-1, resulting in a profit of £3.71 on this Unibet offer. *
