Outcomes

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

OutcomeBet UKBetfairProfit/Loss
Kevin De Bruyne scores first+ £70.00– £71.81£1.81 loss
Any other outcome– £10.00+ £8.18£1.82 loss

So, no matter the outcome, we’ll lose a maximum of £1.82 in qualifying for our £5.00 free bet.

Free bet

Our £5.00 free bet will be credited upon placement of our qualifying bet and will be valid on any in play market for 7 days. Free bet stakes are not included in any returns.

Using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to convert our £5.00 free bet into 75% cash, so £3.75. If we take into account our maximum qualifying loss of £1.82, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £1.93 on this Bet UK offer!

* Kai Havertz scored first, resulting in a profit of £1.93 on this Bet UK offer. *
