Sky Bet – Man Utd v Newcastle Offer

It’s Man Utd v Newcastle in the EFL Cup Final on Sunday, and you don’t want to miss this Sky Bet free bet offer! They’re giving selected customers a £1.00 free ‘BuildABet’ to use on the big match! Translated into matched betting terms, this gives you a potential profit of £5.00 and here’s how…

Key terms

  • Available to selected customers only.
  • The promotional period runs from 20:00 on Thursday 23rd February 2023, until 19:30 on Sunday 26th February 2023.
  • You must click the ‘Opt In’ button onsite during the promotional period to receive your £1.00 free bet.
  • The free bet will be valid on ‘BuildABet‘ only.
  • The free bet stake will not be returned with any winnings.

Free bet

It’s entirely up to you how you play this offer.

You could build a bet that is layable and lock in around £0.60 profit. Please see my ‘Bet Builders‘ guide for a walkthrough on building layable selections.

With the free bet being small, though, I suspect many will be happy to just punt this for a risk-free shot at a decent return. That’s my preferred approach.

It’s entirely up to you what you place your free ‘BuildABet‘ on.

At the time of writing, you could place it on ‘Newcastle (Full Time Result) / Yes (Both Teams To Score)‘ at odds of 6.00 (5/1).

Outcomes

Let’s look at your profit/loss for the possible outcomes.

So, if West Ham win and both teams score, you’ll make a £5.00 profit on this Sky Bet offer! With any other outcome, you’ve lost your free bet, and there’s no harm done.

* Man Utd won the match 2-0, resulting in break-even on this Sky Bet offer. *
