Champions League Bonus Offer – Bethard

There’s a big Wednesday night of Champions League football to look forward to and you don’t want to miss this bonus offer from Bethard! Simply place a £10.00 Both Teams To Score bet on any of Wednesday’s Champions League matches and if it wins, Bethard will give us a £10.00 bonus on Thursday. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential profit of £7.29 and here’s how…

This offer can found behind number 28 of Bethard’s Ultimate Sports Quiz.

Today’s question is ‘How many Olympic Rings are there?

The correct answer is ‘5‘.

Key Terms:

  • Our qualifying bet must be placed pre-match on any Champions League match being played on Wednesday 28th November 2018.
  • The minimum stake is £10.00.
  • We must place a Both Teams To Score bet at odds of 1.70 (7/10) or greater.

Qualifying Bet:

If you’re unfamiliar with qualifying bets, please see my Qualifying Bet Strategy page for a walk-through guide on how it should be done.

It’s entirely up to you which match you place your qualifying bet on. Having looked at the odds available for Dortmund v Club Brugge, we could place our qualifying bet on Yes in the Both Teams To Score market.

At the time of writing, laying our bet at Betfair gives us the smallest qualifying loss.

We can calculate our lay stake using my matched betting calculator…

Place £10.00 on ‘Both Teams To Score – Yes’ @ 1.769 = Potential profit of £7.69

Lay £9.77 on ‘Both teams to Score? – Yes’ @ 1.86 = Potential liability of £8.40

Outcomes:

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

Outcome Bookie Exchange Bonus Extracted Profit/Loss
Both teams score + £7.69 – £8.40 + £8.00 £7.29 profit
Either team keeps a clean sheet – £10.00 + £9.28 £0.72 loss

So, if both teams score, we’ll make a nice profit of £7.29. If either team keeps a clean sheet, we’ll lose £0.72. Risking £0.72 to make a profit of £7.29, gives us effective odds of 11.13. So, given that the odds are just 1.769 for both teams to score, this is a profitable offer in the long run.

If eligible, our £10.00 bonus will be credited by 15:00 on Thursday 29th November 2018.

If you’re unsure how to extract 80% cash from a £10.00 wager-free bonus, check out my Free Bet Strategy page for a walk-through guide on how it should be done.

* The match was drawn 0-0, resulting in a loss of £0.72 on this Bethard offer. *
