Ladbrokes Offer – Man Utd v Southampton

Manchester United host Southampton in the first of this season’s Friday night kick-offs and Ladbrokes are getting in on the action! Place a £20.00 in play mobile bet on Manchester United v Southampton and Ladbrokes will give us a £10.00 free in play bet to be used on Stoke City v Manchester City. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £6.00 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.

This offer is only available on mobiles or tablets.

To qualify for the £10.00 free bet, we must place a bet of £20.00 or more in play on Manchester United v Southampton, which kicks off at 20:00 tonight (Friday 19th August 2016).

It’s entirely up to you what you place your qualifying bet on, as long as you place it in play at the minimum odds of 1.50 (1/2) or greater. I recommend placing our qualifying bets at half-time when the odds are fairly stable, as it reduces the risk of the odds fluctuating unfavourably whilst we are trying to get our lay bets on.

I like to place my exchange lay bets with Smarkets as they have great liquidity, the site is really easy to use and they only charge 2% commission in comparison to the 5% charged by other betting exchanges.

We can calculate our lay stakes using the matched betting calculator.

Free Bet:

Our £10.00 free in play bet will be credited upon kick-off of Stoke City v Manchester City (12:30 on Saturday 20th August 2016) and must be used in play on the same game.

Again, we should place our free in play bet at half-time, to reduce the risk of the odds fluctuating unfavourably whilst we are trying to get our lay bets on.

By using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to extract at least 75% of the £10.00 free bet as cash, so around £7.50. If we take into consideration our qualifying loss of £1.50, we should make a guaranteed profit of £6.00 on this Ladbrokes offer!
