Genting Bet Offer – Arsenal v Chelsea

It’s the FA Cup winners versus the Premier League Champions today and Genting Bet are getting in on the action! Simply bet £10.00 on Arsenal v Chelsea and Genting Bet will give us a free bet equal to the amount of goals scored in the game. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential profit of £3.30 and here’s how…

Qualifying Bet:

If you’re unfamiliar with qualifying bets, please see my Qualifying Bet Strategy page for a walk-through guide on how they should be done.

Our qualifying bet must be placed on one of the following markets…

Match Result (1X2) / Correct Score / First Goalscorer / Half Time/Full Time

It’s entirely up to you what you place your qualifying bet on. Having looked at the odds available, I’ve opted to place my qualifying bet on Chelsea in the Match Result (1X2) market.

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

Place £10.00 on Chelsea @ 2.30 = Potential profit of £13.00

Lay £9.75 on Chelsea @ 2.38 = Potential liability of £13.45

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

Chelsea win + £13.00 – £13.45 = £0.45 loss
Chelsea don’t win – £10.00 + £9.55 (£9.75 minus 2% commission) = £0.45 loss

So, regardless of the result of the match, we’ll lose £0.45 in qualifying for our potential free bets.

Free Bets:

We’ll receive a free bet equal to the amount of goals scored in the game. Free bets will be credited within 24 hours of qualifying bet settlement and will be valid for 3 days.

Free bets must be placed at odds no greater than 5.00 (4/1). With that in mind, by using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to extract 75% of any free bets as cash.

Therefore, if 5 goals are scored in the game, we’ll receive a £5.00 free bet, from which we can extract £3.75 cash. If we take into account our qualifying loss of £0.45, this gives us a potential profit of £3.30 on this Genting Bet offer!

* The match was drawn 1-1, meaning I made a profit of £1.05 on this Genting Bet offer. *
