Man City v Chelsea Offer – Betway

It’s Man City v Chelsea in the Champions League Final on Saturday night and Betway are getting in on the action! Simply place a £5.00+ Bet Builder or Pre-Built bet on Man City v Chelsea and Betway will give us a £5.00 free bet to use on Euro 2020. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £3.09 and here’s how…

Key terms

  • Applies to single Bet Builder or Pre-Built bets placed on Man City v Chelsea.
  • Applies to bets placed before 20:00 (kick-off) on Saturday 29th May 2021.
  • Minimum stake of £5.00.
  • Minimum odds of 3.00 (2/1).

Qualifying bet

It’s entirely up to you how you play this offer.

We could take a speculative approach and not lay our Bet Builder or Pre-Built bet. If our bet loses, we know that by using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to convert our £5.00 free bet into 80% cash, so £4.00. That means the most we can lose on this offer is £1.00 and we could make a nice profit.

If we lay our qualifying bet though, we can lock in a guaranteed profit.

So, looking at the Bet Builder selections available, we could place our qualifying bet on Draw / Both Teams to Score – Yes at back odds of 4.75 (15/4). The lay odds are currently 5.70.
