Ladbrokes In Play Offer – Arsenal v Bayern Munich

The Ladbrokes in-play offer is back! Place a pre-match bet on Arsenal v Bayern Munich and Ladbrokes will give us a risk-free in play bet to the same stake (up to a maximum of £25.00) on the big match. These Ladbrokes in play offers are one of the best around as there are big profits to be made. We can make a guaranteed minimum profit of £16.18 on this offer and here’s how…

Our in play bet will be risk-free. This means that we are required to place the in play bet using our own funds and if this in play bet loses, Ladbrokes will refund it in full in cash (which is withdrawable straight away).

Whenever I do these Ladbrokes offers, it always depends on the odds available as to which selection I place my in-play bet on. Having looked at the odds available, I’ve opted to place my in-play bet on the draw. It is worth noting that although the current odds for a draw (at the time of writing) are 3.75, this is likely to drop slightly when the game kicks off and therefore I have adjusted the odds accordingly in the workings for the following example…

ladbrokes

Place £33.33 (pre-match) on Bayern Munich @ 1.95 = Returns £64.99

Place £25.00 (in-play) on a draw @ 3.60 = Returns £90.00

Place £15.48 (pre-match) on Arsenal @ 4.20 = Returns £65.02

I’d like to add at this point that it’s always best to stick to round numbers when placing your bets as odd amounts such as £33.33 can easily be flagged up as a matched bet. You could instead place £25.00 on Bayern Munich with Ladbrokes and then place the extra £8.00 on Bayern Munich with another bookmaker, especially if you can get better odds elsewhere. Similarly, with the bet on Arsenal, I would stick to round numbers and place £15.00 instead.

It’s worth pointing out at this stage that Bet365 are running a risk-free offer of their own but with a maximum risk-free bet of £50.00. It’s therefore an option to combine the two offers instead of doing them separately.

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

Outcome Returns Total Outlay Overall Profit
Arsenal win 65.02 + 25.00 (refund) = 90.02 73.81 £16.21
Draw 90.00 73.81 £16.19
Bayern Munich win 64.99 + 25.00 (refund) = 89.99 73.81 £16.18

As you can see, no matter what the result of the game, we stand to make a guaranteed minimum profit of £16.18 on this Ladbrokes in play offer! How long did that take? 10 minutes?

If the odds change between now and kick-off, which is almost a certainty, it’s really easy to recalculate your pre-match stakes.

Start by working out your returns on the in play draw bet. So if the draw odds have changed to 3.50, your returns on your £25.00 in-play bet would now be £87.50.

To work out your stakes on Arsenal and Bayern Munich, you need to subtract the £25.00 refund from the £87.50 which gives you £62.50. All you then have to do is divide the £62.50 by the odds (in decimal form) for both Arsenal and Bayern Munich to get your respective pre-match stakes. Any problems, just give me a shout!

* These Ladbrokes in play offers are amongst the best around but for those of you who have never come across matched betting, there are so many more offers to profit from. I make over £500.00 risk-free profit every month from bookmakers’ offers just like this one.  If you’re interested in finding out more, feel free to have a read of my matched betting guides. My blog is completely free to use! *
