It’s Man City v Watford in the FA Cup Final on Saturday and Genting Bet are getting in on the action! Simply place a £10.00+ pre-match bet on Man City v Watford and Genting Bet will give us a free bet equal to the amount of goals scored in the game. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential profit of £5.26 and here’s how…
Key Terms:
- Qualifying bets must be placed between 12:00 on Monday 13th May 2019 and 17:00 (kick-off) on Saturday 18th May 2019.
- The minimum stake to qualify is £10.00.
- We must place our bet at odds of 1.15 (2/13) or greater.
Qualifying Bet:
If you’re unfamiliar with qualifying bets, please see my Qualifying Bet Strategy page for a walk-through guide on how they should be done.
It’s entirely up to you what you place your qualifying bet on. Having looked at the odds available, we could place our qualifying bet on Man City in the Match Result market.
At the time of writing, laying our bet at Smarkets gives us the smallest qualifying loss.
We can calculate our lay stakes using my matched betting calculator…
As you can see, the calculator tells us that our lay stake should be £9.85…
Place £10.00 on Man City @ 1.222 = Potential profit of £2.22
Lay £9.85 on Man City @ 1.26 = Potential liability of £2.56
Outcomes:
Let’s have a look at our potential profit/loss for the possible outcomes…
| Outcome | Bookie | Exchange | Profit/Loss |
|---|---|---|---|
| Man City win | +£2.22 | -£2.56 | £0.34 loss |
| Man City don’t win | -£10.00 | +£9.65 | £0.35 loss |
So, regardless of the outcome, we’ll lose a maximum of £0.35 in qualifying for our potential free bets.
Free Bet:
We’ll receive a free bet equal to the amount of goals scored in the game. Free bets will be credited by 23:59 on Monday 20th May 2019 and will be valid for 3 days. Free bet stakes will not be included with any returns.
By using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to extract 80% cash from any free bet.
Therefore, if 7 goals are scored in the game, we’ll receive a £7.00 free bet, from which we can extract £5.60 cash. If we take into account our minimum qualifying loss of £0.34, this gives us a potential profit of £5.26 on this Genting Bet offer!
* Man City won the match 6-0, resulting in a profit of £4.46 on this Genting Bet offer. *
