Liverpool v Stoke Offer – Sun Bets

It’s Liverpool v Stoke in today’s early kick-off and you don’t want to miss this Money Back Special from Sun Bets. Simply place a bet on the Correct Score market and if Liverpool win the match, Sun Bets will refund losing bets as a free bet, up to a maximum of £20.00. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential profit of £9.66 and here’s how…

Qualifying Bet:

If you’re unsure about how to place qualifying bets, check out my Qualifying Bet Strategy page for a walk-through guide on how they should be done.

Qualifying bets must be placed pre-match on the Correct Score market, to be eligible.

Having looked at the odds available, we could place our qualifying bet on 3-1 Liverpool.

I like to place my exchange lay bets with Betfair as they have great liquidity and the site is really easy to use.

Place £20.00 on 3-1 Liverpool @ 10.00 = Potential profit of £180.00

Lay £15.44 on 3-1 Liverpool @ 13.00 = Potential liability of £185.28

Outcomes:

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

3-1 Liverpool + £180.00 – £185.28 = £5.28 loss
Not 3-1 Liverpool and Liverpool win – £20.00 + £14.66 + £15.00 (extract 75% from our £20.00 free bet) = £9.66 profit
Not 3-1 Liverpool and Liverpool don’t win – £20.00 + £14.66 = £5.34 loss

So, we’ll make a nice profit of £9.66 if Liverpool win the match by any scoreline other than 3-1 and we stand to lose a maximum of £5.34 on any other outcome. Risking £5.34 to make a profit of £9.66 gives us effective odds of 2.81. Given that Liverpool are odds of just 1.286 (2/7) to win the match, this is a profitable offer in the long run.

If eligible, our free bet will be credited within 48 hours and will be valid for 30 days on any sports market.
