Leeds v Man City Offer – Genting Bet

It’s Leeds v Man City in the Premier League on Saturday and Genting Bet are getting in on the action! Simply place a £10.00+ pre-match bet on Leeds v Man City 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 £3.45 and here’s how…

  • The minimum stake to qualify is £10.00.
  • We must place our bet at odds of 1.40 (2/5) or greater.
  • Applies to bets placed on Leeds v Man City before 17:30 (kick-off) on Saturday 3rd October 2020.

Qualifying Bet:

If you’d like more information about qualifying bets and how they work, please see my Qualifying Bets Guide.

It’s entirely up to you what you place your qualifying bet on. Having looked at the odds available, we could place our qualifying bet on Yes in the Both Teams To Score market.

At the time of writing, laying our bet at Betfair gives us the smallest qualifying loss.

Place £10.00 on Both Teams To Score – Yes @ 1.533 = Potential profit of £5.33

Lay £9.64 on Both teams to Score? – Yes @ 1.61 = Potential liability of £5.88

Outcomes:

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

Outcome Bookie Exchange Profit/Loss
Both teams score – Yes +£5.33 -£5.88 £0.55 loss
Both teams score – No -£10.00 +£9.44 £0.56 loss

So, regardless of the outcome, we’ll lose a maximum of £0.56 in qualifying for our potential free bet.

Free Bet:

We’ll receive a free bet equal to the amount of goals scored in the game, up to a maximum of £5.00. Free bets will be credited by 23:59 on Sunday 4th October 2020 and will be valid for 3 days. Free bet stakes will not be included with any returns.

Using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to convert any free bet into 80% cash.

Therefore, if 5 goals are scored in the game, we should be able to get £4.00 cash from our £5.00 free bet. If we take into account our minimum qualifying loss of £0.55, this gives us a potential profit of £3.45 on this Genting Bet offer!

* The match was drawn 1-1, resulting in a profit of £1.05 on this Genting Bet offer. *
