Liverpool v Man Utd Offer – STS

It’s Liverpool v Man Utd in the Premier League on Sunday and you don’t want to miss this STS risk-free bet offer! Simply place a £40.00+ in play bet on any Liverpool v Man Utd market and if it loses, STS will give us a £10.00 bonus to use on football. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £3.50+ and here’s how…

Key terms

  • Qualifying single bets must be placed in play on Liverpool v Man Utd, kicking off at 16:30 on Sunday 17th January 2021.
  • Minimum stake of £40.00.
  • Minimum odds of 1.50 (1/2).

Qualifying bet

If our bet loses, STS will give us a £10.00 football bonus, so we can treat this as a risk-free bet offer.

With risk-free bets, we should be looking for high odds in order to maximise our profit. With a £40.00 stake though, high odds will mean a large liability, so you’ll need to go for whatever odds you feel comfortable with.

We won’t know what odds are available until the match is underway. I’ll use back odds of 4.00 (3/1) and lay odds of 4.20 on Man Utd to win in the following example to illustrate how things should pan out.

Either exchange works for this offer

Betfair and Smarkets are both great options for this offer. If you’ve not used one of them, now is a great time to give them a try.

  • Money back as cash up to £20
  • 0% commission for 60 days

We can calculate our lay stake using the ‘Risk-Free Bet’ setting on my Matched Betting Calculator. We can enter £8.00 as our ‘Cashback’ figure as this is the amount we can expect to convert our £10.00 bonus into (80%), should our bet lose…
