FA Cup Final 2018 Offer – Grosvenor

Chelsea face Man Utd in the FA Cup Final 2018 on Saturday and you don’t want to miss this Grosvenor offer! Simply place a bet on any market for Chelsea v Man Utd and Grosvenor will double the odds in cash! Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £2.74 and here’s how…

Qualifying bet:

The maximum stake for this offer is £5.00.

Once we have added our selection to the betslip, we just need to click on ‘100% Odds Boost’. We will see the odds doubled on our betslip.

Only the fractional odds are doubled, so say we back a selection at 5/1 (6.00), our double odds would be 10/1 (11.00).

I like to place my exchange lay bets with Betfair as they have great liquidity and the site is really easy to use.

Having looked at the odds available, we could place our qualifying bet on a 1-1 Draw (5/1) in the Correct Score market.

We can calculate our lay stake by entering our double odds into the matched betting calculator…

Place £5.00 on a 1-1 draw @ 11.00 = Potential profit of £50.00

Betfair logo

Lay £8.15 on a 1-1 draw @ 6.80 = Potential liability of £47.27

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

1-1 draw + £50.00 – £47.27 = £2.73 profit
Not a 1-1 draw – £5.00 + £7.74 (£8.15 minus 5% commission) = £2.74 profit

So, regardless of the outcome, we’ll make a guaranteed profit of £2.73 on this Grosvenor offer!

* Chelsea won the match 1-0, resulting in a profit of £2.74 on this Grosvenor offer. *
