Betway Offer – Man City v Liverpool

Liverpool visit the Etihad on Saturday and you don’t want to miss this Betway offer! Simply place a £10.00+ pre-match bet on Man City v Liverpool and if it loses, Betway will refund our stake as a free bet, up to a maximum of £10.00. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £5.52 and here’s how…

Qualifying Bet:

If you’re unsure about how to place risk-free bets, check out my Risk-Free Bet Strategy page for a walk-through guide on how it should be done.

Qualifying bets of £10.00+ must be placed pre-match on Man City v Liverpool, which kicks off at 12:30 on Saturday 9th September 2017.

Losing stakes are refunded as a free bet, so this is effectively a risk-free offer. We’ll therefore need to select something with long odds such as a Correct Score.

Having looked at the odds available, I’ve opted to place my qualifying bet on 2-1 Man City.

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 work out our lay stake by using the ‘Risk-Free Bet’ setting on my matched betting calculator. We can enter £8.00 as our ‘Cashback’ figure as this is the amount we can expect to extract (80%) from our £10.00 free bet refund, should our qualifying bet lose…

Lay £7.72 on 2-1 Man City @ 10.00 = Potential liability of £69.48

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

2-1 Man City + £75.00 – £69.48 = £5.52 profit
Not 2-1 Man City – £10.00 + £7.56 + £8.00 (extract 80% from our £10.00 free bet) = £5.56 profit

So, regardless of the outcome, we’ll make a minimum guaranteed profit of £5.52 on this Betway offer!

If our selection loses, our free bet will be credited within 24 hours and will be valid for 7 days. Free bet stakes are not included in any returns.
