Real Madrid v Liverpool Offer – Ladbrokes

It’s Real Madrid v Liverpool in the Champions League Final 2018 on Saturday and you don’t want to miss this Money Back Special from Ladbrokes! Simply place a bet on selected markets for Real Madrid v Liverpool and if our bet loses, Ladbrokes will give us our money back as a free bet, up to £10.00. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £5.02 and here’s how…

The Terms:

If you’re unsure about how to place qualifying bets, check out my Qualifying Bet Strategy page for a walk-through guide on how it should be done.

The eligible markets for this offer are First/Last/Anytime Goalscorer, Correct Score and #GetAPrice. If our bet loses, Ladbrokes will refund our stake as a free bet, up to a maximum of £10.00.

Qualifying bets must be placed between 08:00 on Friday 25th May 2018 and 19:45 (kick-off) on Saturday 26th May 2018, to be eligible.

Qualifying Bet:

Losing stakes are refunded as a free bet, so this is effectively a risk-free offer. We therefore need to select something with long odds. Having looked at the odds available, we could place our qualifying bet on 3-1 Real Madrid in the Correct Score 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 work out our lay stake by using the ‘Risk-Free Bet’ setting on my matched betting calculator. We can enter £7.50 as our ‘Cashback’ figure as this is the amount we can expect to extract (75%) from our £10.00 free bet, should our bet lose…

As you can see, the calculator tells us that our lay stake should be £7.94…

Place £10.00 on 3-1 Real Madrid @ 15.00 = Potential profit of £140.00

Lay £7.94 on 3-1 Real Madrid @ 18.00 = Potential liability of £134.98

Outcomes:

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

3-1 Real Madrid + £140.00 – £134.98 = £5.02 profit
Not 3-1 Real Madrid – £10.00 + £7.54 + £7.50 (extract 75% from our £10.00 free bet) = £5.04 profit

So, regardless of the outcome, we’ll make a guaranteed profit of £5.02 on this Ladbrokes offer!

If our selection loses, our free bet will be credited within 24 hours of our qualifying bet being settled and will be valid for 4 days.

If you’re unsure how to extract around 75% cash from a £10.00 free bet, check out my Free Bet Strategy page for a walk-through guide on how it should be done.
