Ladbrokes Offer – Rooney v Switzerland

After his goal against San Marino, Wayne Rooney is one goal away from becoming England’s all-time leading goalscorer and Ladbrokes are feeling generous with another fantastic price boost for both new and existing customers. Ladbrokes have enhanced Rooney to score against Switzerland from 2.00 (EVENS) to a tasty 4.00 (3/1). Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential risk-free profit of £11.68 and here’s how…

This offer will be available on the Ladbrokes website from 19:15 this evening (Tuesday 8th September 2015). The maximum stake for this offer is £10.00 and the price boost will be available until the first goal is scored.

It’s up to you how you want to play this offer. One option is to match it completely and guarantee yourself around £4.00 regardless of whether Rooney scores or not. I’ve chosen to underlay this offer, just enough to cover my £10.00 liability…

Place £10.00 on Rooney to Score @ 4.00 = Potential profit of £30.00

betfair

Lay £10.53 on Rooney to Score @ 2.74 = Potential liability of £18.32

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

Rooney scores +£30.00 – £18.32 = £11.68 profit
Rooney doesn’t score -£10.00 + £10.00 (£10.53 minus 5% commission) = £0.00

So if Rooney fails to find the net, we break even and there’s no harm done, however, if he does score, we will make a nice risk-free profit of £11.68 on this Ladbrokes offer.
