Qualifying bet
If you’d like more information about qualifying bets and how they work, please see my qualifying bets guide.
The minimum stake is just 5p for this offer, but it’s worth staking at least £5.00 to blend in with regular punters. It’s entirely up to you what you place your qualifying bet on.
At the time of writing, Man City are available in the Full Time Result market at back odds of 2.70 (17/10). The lay odds are currently 2.88.
Smarkets works best for this offer
For this offer, Smarkets are the best option due to Sky Bet being part of the same group as Betfair.
Laying your bet at Betfair would probably be fine, but if you don’t want to risk it, Smarkets is your safest bet.
- 0% commission for 60 days
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 £4.72…
Place £5.00 on Man City @ 2.70 = Potential profit of £8.50
Lay £4.72 on Man City @ 2.88 = Potential liability of £8.87
Outcomes
Let’s have a look at our potential profit/loss for the possible outcomes…
| Outcome | Sky Bet | Smarkets | Profit/Loss |
|---|---|---|---|
| Man City win | + £8.50 | – £8.87 | £0.37 loss |
| Man City lose or draw | – £5.00 | + £4.62 | £0.38 loss |
So, no matter the outcome, we’ll lose a maximum of £0.38 in qualifying for our £5.00 free bet.
Free bet
Our £5.00 free bet will be credited upon placement of our qualifying bet and will be valid on any market. Free bets will not be subject to an expiry and free bet stakes are not included in any returns.
Using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to convert our free bet into 80% cash, so £4.00. If we take into account our maximum qualifying loss of £0.38, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £3.62 on this Sky Bet offer!
* Man City won the match 1-0, resulting in a profit of £3.63 on this Sky Bet offer. *
