Liverpool v Man City Offer – Bet UK

It’s Liverpool v Man City in Sunday’s late kick-off and you don’t want to miss this Bet UK ‘Bet £10, Get £5’ offer! Stake a total of £10.00 on Liverpool v Man City and Bet UK will give us a £5.00 free bet to use on the same match. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £3.61 and here’s how…

Key Terms:

  • Total stake of £10.00.
  • Qualifying bets must be placed at odds of 1.50 (1/2) or greater.
  • Offer available to first 2,000 customers to qualify.

Qualifying Bet:

If you’re unfamiliar with qualifying bets, please see my Qualifying Bet Strategy page for a walk-through guide on how it should be done.

Having looked at the odds available, we could place our qualifying bet on Liverpool in the Winner Full Time market.

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

We can calculate our lay stakes using my matched betting calculator…

Place £10.00 on Liverpool @ 2.65 = Potential profit of £16.50

Lay £9.81 on Liverpool @ 2.72 = Potential liability of £16.87

Outcomes:

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

Outcome Bookie Exchange Profit/Loss
Liverpool win +£16.50 -£16.87 £0.37 loss
Liverpool don’t win -£10.00 +£9.61 £0.39 loss

So, regardless of the outcome, we’ll lose a maximum of £0.39 in qualifying for our £5.00 free bet.

Free Bet:

Our £5.00 free bet must be used on Liverpool v Man City and will expire at 19:00 on Sunday 10th November 2019. Free bet stakes will not be included in any returns.

By using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to extract 80% cash from our £5.00 free bet, so £4.00. If we take into account our maximum qualifying loss of £0.39, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £3.61 on this Bet UK offer!

* Liverpool won the match 3-1, resulting in a profit of £3.63 on this Bet UK offer. *
