Betfair Sportsbook Offer – Man Utd v Southampton

Manchester United face Southampton on Friday night and you do not want to miss this Betfair Sportsbook offer! Place an in play single bet on Manchester United v Southampton and Betfair will give us a free bet matching our stake, up to a maximum of £50.00. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £37.50 and here’s how…

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.

It’s entirely up to you what you place your qualifying bet on, as long as you place it in play at the minimum odds of 1.20 (1/5) or greater. I recommend placing our qualifying bets at half-time when the odds are fairly stable, as it reduces the risk of the odds fluctuating unfavourably whilst we are trying to get our lay bets on.

I like to place my exchange lay bets with Smarkets as they have great liquidity, the site is really easy to use and they only charge 2% commission. Not only that, as this is a Betfair Sportsbook offer, it’s not a viable option to lay our bet on the Betfair Exchange.

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

Free Bet:

Our £50.00 free bet will be credited within 12 hours of the final whistle and will be valid for 48 hours. Free bet stakes will not be returned with any winnings.

By using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to extract 80% of the £50.00 free bet as cash, so £40.00. If we take into account our qualifying loss of £2.50, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £37.50 on this Betfair offer!
