Coral Offer – Man City v Barcelona

More Champions League football this week and another Coral offer.  Simply place a pre-match £10.00+ Win Single bet on any football market this Monday or Tuesday and for every goal scored in the Man City v Barcelona match on Tuesday 24th February, Coral will give us a £2.00 free bet to use on any football market until Sunday 1st March.  Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential profit of £7.63 and here’s how…

Qualifying Bet:

If you’re unfamiliar with qualifying bets, please see my Qualifying Bet Strategy page for a walkthrough guide on how to place your qualifying bets.

The terms of the offer state that our qualifying bet must be placed at minimum odds of 1.50 (1/2).  It’s entirely up to you what you place your qualifying bet on, but I’ve opted to place mine on Brentford beating Blackpool in The Championship.

Place £10.00 on Brentford @ 1.50 = Potential profit of £5.00

betfair

Lay £10.14 on Brentford @ 1.53 = Potential liability of £5.37

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

Brentford win +£5.00 – £5.37 = £0.37 loss
Brentford don’t win -£10.00 + £9.63 (£10.14 minus 5% commission) = £0.37 loss

So regardless of the outcome, we will lose £0.37 in qualifying for this offer.

Free Bet:

For every goal that is scored in the Champions League match between Man City and Barcelona, we will receive a £2.00 free bet. Therefore, if five goals are scored, we would receive £10.00 in free bets. I would then extract 80% of these as cash, so £8.00. If we take into account our qualifying loss of £0.37, this gives us a potential profit of £7.63!

If you’re not sure how to extract 80% of the £10.00 free bet, please see my Free Bet Strategy page for a walkthrough guide on how it should be done.

* The match finished Man City 1-2 Barcelona, meaning I received 3 x £2.00 free bets *
