Outcomes:

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

Outcome Bookie Exchange Profit/Loss
West Ham win + £70.00 – £70.67 £0.67 loss
West Ham don’t win – £10.00 + £9.35 £0.65 loss

So, regardless of the outcome, we’ll lose a maximum of £0.67 in qualifying for our potential free bet.

Free Bets:

We’ll receive a £5.00 free bet if Mo Salah scores. Free bets will be credited by 12:00 on Sunday 1st November 2020 and will be valid until 09:00 on Monday 2nd November 2020.

Using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to convert our free bet into 80% cash, so £4.00. If we take into account our maximum qualifying loss of £0.67, this gives us a potential profit of £3.33 on this Betfred offer!

* Liverpool won the match 2-1 and Salah scored, resulting in a profit of £3.35 on this Betfred offer. *
