BetVictor Arsenal v Manchester United – Money-Back Special

I love the Money-Back Special offers from BetVictor because their odds are some of the most competitive around.  If either team wins from behind in the Arsenal v Man Utd match, they’ll refund losing Correct Score, First/Last/Anytime Goalscorer, Scorecast & Half-Time/Full-Time bets as a FREE BET up to £25.00.  Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential profit of £18.31!  And here’s how…

Whenever I do these sort of Money-Back Special offers, I always stick to the correct score market.  I find the liquidity at the betting exchange is far better than goalscorer markets and I just feel more comfortable here.

We need to select a correct score and hope it doesn’t come in, as only losing bets are refunded in the event of a red card being shown.  Having looked at the odds on offer, I’ve opted for a 1-1 draw.

Step 1:

Place £25.00 on 1-1 draw @ BetVictor @ 8.00 = Potential profit of £175.00.

Lay £24.54 on 1-1 draw @ Betfair @ 8.20 = Potential liability of £176.69.

Step 2:

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

1-1 draw

£175.00 – £176.69 = £1.69 loss

Not 1-1 draw and team wins from behind

-£25.00 + £23.31 + £20.00 (Assumes an 80% return from our £25.00 free bet) = £18.31 profit

Not 1-1 draw and team doesn’t win from behind

-£25.00 + £23.31 = £1.69 loss

So we will win £18.31 if the game doesn’t finish 1-1 and a team wins from behind!  If a team doesn’t win from behind, we will make a loss of £1.69, which I’m sure you’ll agree is a risk worth taking.
