Outcomes

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

OutcomeBetfredBetfairProfit/Loss
Man Utd win+ £14.00– £14.44£0.44 loss
Man Utd lose or draw– £10.00+ £9.56£0.44 loss

So, no matter the outcome, we’ll lose £0.44 in qualifying for our potential free bets.

Free bet

We’ll receive £5.00 in free bets if Kane or Ronaldo score first. Free bets will be credited by 14:00 on Sunday 31st October 2021 and will be valid until 09:00 on Monday 1st November 2021.

Using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to convert our free bet into 80% cash, so £4.00. If we take into account our qualifying loss of £0.44, this gives us a potential profit of £3.56 on this Betfred offer!

Risking £0.44 to make a potential profit of £3.56 gives us effective odds of 9.09. So, given that Kane and Ronaldo are both odds of just 4.00 (3/1) to score first, this is a profitable offer in the long run.

* Ronaldo scored first in a 3-0 win for Man Utd, resulting in a profit of £3.56 on this Betfred offer. *
