Outcomes

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

OutcomeGenting BetBetfairProfit/Loss
Real Madrid win+ £18.75– £19.45£0.70 loss
Real Madrid lose or draw– £10.00+ £9.30£0.70 loss

So, no matter the outcome, we’ll lose £0.70 in qualifying for our potential free bet.

Free bet

We’ll receive a free bet equal to the amount of goals scored in the game, up to a maximum of £5.00. Free bets will be credited by 23:59 on Sunday 11th April 2021 and will be valid for 3 days. Free bet stakes will not be included with any returns.

Using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to convert any free bet into 80% cash.

Therefore, if 5 goals are scored in the game, we should be able to get £4.00 cash from our £5.00 free bet. If we take into account our qualifying loss of £0.70, this gives us a potential profit of £3.30 on this Genting Bet offer!

* Real Madrid won the match 2-1, resulting in a profit of £1.70 on this Genting Bet offer. *
