EFL Play-Off Semi-Finals Offer – MoPlay

The EFL Play-Off Semi-Finals conclude this week and you don’t want to miss this MoPlay ‘Bet £10, Get £5’ offer! Simply bet £10.00+ via mobile on any EFL Play-Off Semi-Final 2nd Leg between Wednesday and Friday and MoPlay will give us a £5.00 free bet to use on Man City v Watford. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £3.25 and here’s how…

Key Terms:

  • We must bet £10.00 or more on Leeds v Derby (Wed 19:45), Portsmouth v Sunderland (Thu 19:45) or Charlton v Doncaster (Fri 19:45) from a mobile device.
  • Qualifying bets must be placed at odds of 1.50 (1/2) or greater.
  • We must opt in to receive our free bets by clicking ‘Accept’ when prompted by the pop up which appears after our qualifying bet has been placed.

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 what you place your qualifying bet on. Having looked at the odds available for Charlton v Doncaster, we could place our qualifying bet on Charlton in the Match Betting FT market.

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

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

As you can see, the calculator tells us that our lay stake should be £9.44…

Place £10.00 on Charlton @ 1.86 = Potential profit of £8.60

Lay £9.44 on Charlton @ 1.99 = Potential liability of £9.34

Outcomes:

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

Outcome Bookie Exchange Profit/Loss
Charlton win +£8.60 -£9.34 £0.74 loss
Charlton don’t win -£10.00 +£9.25 £0.75 loss

So, regardless of the outcome, we’ll lose a maximum of £0.75 in qualifying for our £5.00 free bet.

Free Bet:

Our £5.00 free bet should be credited within 30 minutes of our qualifying bet being settled and will be valid on Man City v Watford, which kicks off at 17:00 on Saturday 18th May 2019. Free bet stakes will not be included in any returns.

By using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to extract 80% cash from our £5.00 free bet, so £4.00. If we take into account our maximum qualifying loss of £0.75, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £3.25 on this MoPlay offer!

* Doncaster won the match 3-2 (after 90 mins), resulting in a profit of £3.25 on this MoPlay offer. *
