Leicester City host Man Utd in today’s late kick-off and you don’t want to miss this Seaniemac offer! If Zlatan Ibrahimovic scores in Leicester City v Man Utd, Seaniemac will refund losing First/Last/Anytime Goalscorer, Scorecast, Half-Time/Full-Time and Correct Score bets as a free bet, up to a maximum of £25.00. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential profit of £18.04 and here’s how…
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.
Ideally, we should look to place our qualifying bet on a Correct Score that sees Leicester City keeping a clean sheet. If Ibrahimovic scores, we would automatically be eligible for a free bet refund as our qualifying bet will have lost.
Having looked at the odds available, I’ve opted to keep my qualifying loss to a minimum by placing my qualifying bet on ‘Draw/Draw’ in the ‘Half-Time/Full-Time’ market.
I like to place my exchange lay bets with Smarkets as they have great liquidity, the site is really easy to use and they only charge 2% commission in comparison to the 5% charged by other betting exchanges.
We can calculate our lay stake using my matched betting calculator…
As you can see, the calculator tells us that our lay stake should be £23.51…
Place £25.00 on Draw/Draw @ 6.00 = Potential profit of £125.00
Lay £23.51 on Draw/Draw @ 6.40 = Potential liability of £126.96
Let’s have a look at our potential profit/loss for the possible outcomes…
| Draw/Draw | + £125.00 – £126.96 = £1.96 loss |
| Not Draw/Draw and Ibrahimovic scores | – £25.00 + £23.04 + £20.00 (extract 80% from our £25.00 stake refund) = £18.04 profit |
| Not Draw/Draw and Ibrahimovic doesn’t score | – £25.00 + £23.04 = £1.96 loss |
So, if the match isn’t a draw at both half-time and full-time and Ibrahimovic scores, we’ll make a nice profit of £18.04. Any other outcome and we’ll have made a loss of £1.96. Risking £1.96 to make a profit of £18.04, gives us effective odds of 10.20, so given that the odds of Ibrahimovic scoring are only 2.00, this is a profitable offer in the long run.
If eligible, our free bet will be credited within an hour of the match finishing and will be valid for 7 days.
If you’re unsure how to extract 80% from a free bet, please see my Free Bet Strategy page for a walk-through guide on how it should be done.
