BetVictor Arsenal vs Tottenham Red Card Refund

Interesting offer from BetVictor this week.  If a Red Card is shown at any time during the Arsenal v Tottenham match, BetVictor will 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 £17.36!  And here’s how…

Whenever I do these sort of 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.  Having looked at the odds on offer, I’ve opted for a 1-1 draw.

 

Step 1:

Place £25.00 on 1-1 @ BetVictor @ 8.5 = Potential profit of £187.50.

Lay £24.85 on 1-1 @ Betfair @ 8.6 = Potential liability of £188.86.

Step 2:

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

 

1-1 draw £187.50 – £188.86 = -£1.36
Not 1-1 with red card -£25.00 + £23.61 + £18.75 (Assumes a 75% return from our £25.00 free bet) = £17.36
Not 1-1 without red card -£25.00 + £23.61 = -£1.39

 

So we will win £17.36 if the game doesn’t end 1-1 and there is a red card!  If no red card is shown, we will lose a maximum of £1.39, which I’m sure you’ll agree is a risk worth taking as the odds of a red card being shown are around 4.1.
