Real Madrid v Liverpool Offer – Bwin

It’s Real Madrid v Liverpool in the Champions League Final 2018 on Saturday and Bwin are getting in on the action! Simply place a £20.00 bet on any market for Real Madrid v Liverpool and Bwin will give us a £5.00 free bet for every goal scored by Ronaldo and Salah, up to a maximum of £25.00. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential profit of £17.83 and here’s how…

Qualifying Bet:

We must opt in to this offer on the promotion page.

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.

Qualifying bets must be placed at odds of 1.70 (7/10) or greater between 00:00 and 23:59 on Friday 25th May 2018, to be eligible.

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 Real Madrid in the Match Result market.

I like to place my exchange lay bets with Betfair as they have great liquidity and the site is really easy to use.

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 £20.09…

Place £20.00 on Real Madrid @ 2.20 = Potential profit of £24.00

Betfair logo

Lay £20.09 on Real Madrid @ 2.24 = Potential liability of £24.91

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

Real Madrid win + £24.00 – £24.91 = £0.91 loss
Real Madrid don’t win – £20.00 + £19.08 (£20.09 minus 5% commission) = £0.92 loss

So, regardless of the result of the match, we’ll lose a maximum of £0.92 in qualifying for our potential free bets.

Free Bets:

We’ll receive a £5.00 free bet for every goal scored by Cristiano Ronaldo and Mo Salah, up to a maximum of £25.00. Free bets will be credited within 15 minutes of our qualifying bet being settled and will be valid for 7 days.

By using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to extract 75% of any free bets as cash.

Therefore, if Ronaldo and Salah score 5 goals between them, we’ll receive a £25.00 free bet, from which we can extract £18.75 cash. If we take into account our maximum qualifying loss of £0.92, this gives us a potential profit of £17.83 on this Bwin offer!

* Real Madrid won the match 3-1 and Ronaldo and Salah both failed to score, resulting in a loss of £0.91 on this Bwin offer. *
