Manchester United v Liverpool – BetVictor Money-Back Special

I love the Money-Back Special offers from BetVictor because their odds are some of the most competitive around.  If a Red Card is shown at any time during the Man Utd v Liverpool, BetVictor will refund losing Correct Score, First/Last/Anytime Goalscorer, Scorecast & Half-Time/Full-Time bets on that particular match as a FREE BET up to £25.00.  Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential profit of £18.03!  And here’s how…

Whenever I do these Money-Back Special offers, I always stick to the correct score market. I find the liquidity at the betting exchange is far better than goalscorer markets and I just feel more comfortable here.

We need to select a correct score and hope it doesn’t come in, as only losing bets are refunded in the event of a red card being shown.  Having looked at the odds on offer, I’ve opted for a 2-2 draw.

 

Step 1:

betvictor

Place £25.00 on 2-2 draw @ 14.00 = Potential profit of £325.00

betfair

Lay £24.22 on 2-2 draw @ 14.50 = Potential liability of £326.97

Step 2:

 

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

 

2-2 draw

+£325.00 – £326.97 = £1.97 loss

Not 2-2 draw with red card

-£25.00 + £23.03 + £20.00 (Assumes an 80% return from our £25.00 free bet) = £18.03 profit

Not 2-2 draw without red card

-£25.00 + £23.03 = £1.97 loss

 

So we will make £18.03 profit if the game doesn’t finish 2-2 and a red card is shown!  If no red card is shown, we will make a loss of £1.97, which I’m sure you’ll agree is a risk worth taking as the odds of a red card being shown are around 3.75.
