Coral Free Bet on Champions League Final

It’s time for another Coral free bet offer.  Place a pre-match £10.00 Win Single bet on Barcelona v Atletico Madrid on Saturday 17th May at odds of 1/2 (1.5) or greater on any market and get a £10.00 free bet to use on next weekend’s Champions League final between Real Madrid & Atletico Madrid in Portugal.  Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a minimum guaranteed profit of £7.40. And here’s how…

Step 1:

The terms and conditions of the Coral free bet offer state that our qualifying bet must be placed at minimum odds of 1.50. With this is mind, it’s probably a good idea to stick to the match odds market (1X2).  Having looked at the odds on offer, I’ve decided to go for a Barcelona win.

Place £10.00 on Barcelona @ 1.85 = Potential profit of £8.50

Lay £9.89 on Barcelona @ 1.92 = Potential liability of £9.10

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

Barcelona win +£8.50 – £9.10 = £0.60 loss
Barcelona don’t win -£10.00 + £9.40 = £0.60 loss

So regardless of the result we will lose £0.60 in order to claim our free £10.00 bet.

Step 2:

By using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to extract at least 80% of the £10.00 free bet, so approximately £8.00. If we take into consideration our initial loss of £0.60, we should make a minimum profit of £7.40 on this offer.
