Liverpool v Man City Offer – Unibet

It’s Liverpool v Man City in the Premier League on Sunday and Unibet are getting in on the action! Simply bet £10.00+ on Liverpool or Man City to win the match and if our selected team wins, Unibet will give us a £5.00 free bet on top of our winnings. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential profit of £3.60 and here’s how…

Key Terms:

  • We must opt in to this offer to be eligible.
  • The minimum qualifying stake is £10.00.
  • Qualifying bets must be placed before 16:30 (kick-off) on Sunday 7th October 2018.
  • We must place our bet on either Liverpool or Man City to win.

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.

It’s entirely up to you which team you place your qualifying bet on. Having looked at the odds available, we could place our qualifying bet on Man City.

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…

As you can see, the calculator tells us that our lay stake should be £9.79…

Place £10.00 on Man City @ 2.80 = Potential profit of £18.00

Smarkets logo

Lay £9.79 on Man City @ 2.88 = Potential liability of £18.40

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

Man City win + £18.00 – £18.40 + £4.00 (extract 80% from £5.00 free bet) = £3.60 profit
Man City don’t win – £10.00 + £9.59 (£9.79 minus 2% commission) = £0.41 loss

So, if Man City win, we’ll have made a profit of £3.60. If Man City don’t win, we’ll have made a loss of £0.41. Risking £0.41 to make a profit of £3.60 gives us effective odds of 9.78. So, given that Man City are odds of just 2.80 (9/5) to win the match, this a profitable offer in the long run.

If eligible, our £5.00 free bet will be credited within 24 hours. Free bet stakes are not included in any returns.

If you’re not sure how to extract 80% cash from a free bet, please see my Free Bet Strategy page for a walk-through guide on how it should be done.

* The match was drawn 0-0, resulting in a loss of £0.41 on this Unibet offer. *
