Betsafe In Play Offer – Manchester City v Norwich City

Betsafe have gone all in on Manchester City and are running a belter of an in play offer! Simply place a £25.00 pre-match bet on Manchester City v Norwich City and Betsafe will give us a £10.00 risk-free bet to be used in-play. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed minimum profit of £6.00 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 they should be done.

We must opt-in on the promotions page to be eligible for this offer. It’s entirely up to you what you place your qualifying bet on, as long as you place it at the minimum odds of 1.50 (1/2) or above.

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 in comparison to the 5% charged by other betting exchanges. We can calculate our lay stakes using the matched betting calculator.

Aim to lose no more than £1.00 on your qualifying bet

 

Risk-Free Bet:

Any winnings generated from our risk-free bet need to be played through once before we are able to withdraw them. For our risk-free bet, we need to find a selection that has tight back and lay odds. I’d also recommend placing it at half-time as the odds don’t fluctuate as much as they do in-play. If we underlay our bet instead of matching it completely, we can guarantee ourselves a profit on any outcome.

When we place our risk-free in-play bet, we must check the ‘Risk-Free’ box on our betslip. It’s impossible to know what odds will be available until the match has kicked off but here is an example of how our in play bet might pan out…

Place £10.00 on 3-1 Man City @ 8.00 = Potential profit of £70.00

Lay £7.41 on 3-1 Man City @ 9.00 = Potential liability of £59.24

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

3-1 Man City +£66.50 (extract 95% from £70.00 winnings) – £59.24 = £7.26 profit
Not 3-1 Man City -£10.00 + £7.26 + £10.00 (cash refund) = £7.26 profit

So regardless of the result of the match we would extract £7.26 from our £10.00 risk-free bet and if we take into consideration our qualifying loss of £1.00, we would have made £6.26 profit. So provided we find some good in-play odds, we should be able to make a guaranteed profit of at least £6.00 on this Betsafe in play offer!
