Place £5.00 on ‘Man City’ (Match Result) @ 1.727 = Potential profit of £3.64
Lay £4.80 on ‘Man City’ (Full-time result) @ 1.80 = Potential liability of £3.84
Outcomes
Let’s look at your profit/loss for the possible outcomes.
| Outcome | Coral | Smarkets | Profit/Loss |
|---|---|---|---|
| Man City win | + £3.64 | – £3.84 | £0.20 loss |
| Man City lose or draw | – £5.00 | + £4.80 | £0.20 loss |
So, no matter the outcome, you’ll lose £0.20 in qualifying for your £5.00 free bet.
