Southampton are the visitors to Old Trafford tonight and BetMcLean are getting in on the action! Place an in play single bet on Manchester United v Southampton and if it loses, BetMcLean will give us a free in play matched bet, up to £25.00, to use on any Premier League game tomorrow. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £14.00 and here’s how…

* This offer is only available to existing customers that opened their account prior to 12:00 today (Friday 19th August 2016). *

Qualifying Bet:

We must place our qualifying bet on any in play market in the Manchester United v Southampton match at odds of 1.20 (1/5) or greater.

If you’ve read my risk-free bet strategy guide, you’ll know that we need to place our qualifying bet at high odds, in order to maximise our profit.

My advice is to place our in play bet at half-time. This is simply because the odds don’t fluctuate as much as when the game is live. There’s nothing worse than placing a back bet on a market and then something happens in the game that changes the odds before you have chance to get your lay bet on! Depending on the half-time score, I would have a look at the Match Odds market and if those are too short, I would then have a look at the Correct Score market.

It’s impossible to know what odds will be available until the game is live, but here is an example of how things might pan out…

We can use the ‘Risk-Free Bet’ setting on my matched betting calculator to work out our correct lay stake…

As you can see, the calculator tells us that our lay stake should be £19.42…

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

So, regardless of the result of the match, we will make a guaranteed profit of around £14.00 on this BetMcLean offer!

Free Bet:

If eligible, our free bet will be credited within 16 hours of the final whistle and must be used in play on any Premier League game tomorrow (Saturday 20th August 2016).

Again, we should place our free in play bet at half-time, to reduce the risk of the odds fluctuating unfavourably whilst we are trying to get our lay bets on.

The above calculations are based on the assumption that, by using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to extract 80% cash from our £25.00 free bet.
