Ladbrokes In Play Offer – Sevilla v Man City

The Ladbrokes in-play offer is back! Place a pre-match bet on Sevilla v Manchester City 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 £13.43 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).

The first step when doing these offers, is to decide which outcome we should place our in play bet on. Having looked at the odds available, it’s most profitable to place our in play bet on a draw. It is worth noting that although the current odds on a draw (at the time of writing) are 3.40, 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 £25.00 (pre-match) on Man City @ 2.40 = Returns £60.00

Place £26.56 (in-play) on a draw @ 3.20 = Returns £84.99

Place £20.00 (pre-match) on Sevilla @ 3.00 = Returns £60.00

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 £26.56 can easily be flagged up as a matched bet. You should instead place £25.00 on a draw in play and the extra £1.50 on a draw pre-match with another bookmaker, especially if you can get better odds elsewhere.

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

Outcome Returns Total Outlay Overall Profit
Sevilla win 60.00 + 25.00 (refund) = 85.00 71.56 £13.44
Draw 84.99 71.56 £13.43
Man City win 60.00 + 25.00 (refund) = 85.00 71.56 £13.44

As you can see, no matter what the result of the game, we stand to make a guaranteed minimum profit of £13.43 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 Sevilla and Manchester City, 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 Sevilla and Manchester City 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! *
