Another fantastic SkyBet free bet offer. Simply place a minimum bet of £5.00 on West Ham v Manchester City and if City score more than one goal, SkyBet will refund all losing first goalscorer, last goalscorer, correct score and scorecast singles as a free bet up to £25.00 within 24 hours of the match finishing. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential profit of £14.10 and here’s how…
Qualifying Bet:
If you’re unfamiliar with qualifying bets, please see my Qualifying Bet Strategy page for a walkthrough guide on how to place your qualifying bets.
We need to select a correct score that doesn’t see Man City scoring more than one goal. This ensures that if they do score more than one goal, we will automatically be eligible for a free bet refund as our qualifying bet will have lost. Having looked at the odds available, I’ve opted for a 1-1 draw.
Place £25.00 on 1-1 draw @ 8.00 = Potential profit of £175.00
Lay £20.10 on 1-1 draw @ 10.00 = Potential liability of £180.90
Let’s have a look at our current potential profit/loss for the following outcomes…
| 1-1 draw | +£175.00 – £180.90 = £5.90 loss |
| Not 1-1 draw and City score more than one goal | -£25.00 + £19.10 + £20.00 (extract 80% from our £25.00 free bet) = £14.10 profit |
| Not 1-1 draw and City don’t score more than one goal | -£25.00 + £19.10 = £5.90 loss |
So as things stand we will make £14.10 profit if Man City score more than one goal. Unfortunately, we also stand to lose a maximum of £5.90 if City don’t score more than one goal. Ordinarily I would advise laying this at Betfair to cover the potential loss but due to the lack of such a market at the exchange and the fact that City are highly to score more than one goal, I’m happy to let this one run as it is.
If you’re not sure how to extract 80% of the £25.00 free bet refund, please see my Free Bet Strategy page for a walkthrough guide on how it should be done.
