Chelsea v Galatasaray – BetVictor Money-Back Special

I love the Money-Back Special offers from BetVictor because their odds are some of the most competitive around.  If a Penalty is scored during the Chelsea v Galatasaray 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 £18.84!  And here’s how…

Whenever I do these 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 penalty being scored.  Having looked at the odds on offer, I’ve opted for a 0-0 draw.

 

Step 1:

betvictor

Place £25.00 on 0-0 draw @ 17.00 = Potential profit of £400.00

betfair

Lay £25.07 on 0-0 draw @ 17.00 = Potential liability of £401.12

Step 2:

 

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

 

0-0 draw

+£400.00 – £401.12 = £1.12 loss

Not 0-0 with penalty scored

-£25.00 + £23.84 + £20.00 (Assumes an 80% return from our £25.00 free bet) = £18.84 profit

Not 0-0 without penalty scored

-£25.00 + £23.84 = £1.16 loss

 

So we will make £18.84 profit if the game doesn’t finish 0-0 and a penalty is scored!  If no penalty is scored, we will make a maximum loss of £1.16, which I’m sure you’ll agree is a risk worth taking as the odds of a penalty being awarded are around 3.15.
