Southampton v Bournemouth Offer – SportPesa

It’s Southampton v Bournemouth on Friday night and you don’t want to miss this SportPesa ‘Bet £10, Get £5’ offer! Simply bet £10.00+ on any market and SportPesa will give us a free £5.00 football acca. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential profit of £29.37 and here’s how…

Key Terms:

  • We must bet £10.00+ on any Southampton v Bournemouth market.
  • Qualifying bets must be placed before 20:00 (kick-off) on Friday 20th September 2019.
  • Qualifying bets must be placed at odds of 1.50 (1/2) or greater.

Qualifying Bet:

If you’re unfamiliar with qualifying bets, please see my Qualifying Bet Strategy page for a walk-through guide on how it should be done.

It’s entirely up to you what you place your qualifying bet on. Having looked at the odds available, we could place our qualifying bet on Southampton in the 1X2 Full Time market.

At the time of writing, laying our bet at Smarkets gives us the smallest qualifying loss.

We can calculate our lay stake using my matched betting calculator…

Place £10.00 on Southampton @ 2.05 = Potential profit of £10.50

Lay £9.76 on Southampton @ 2.12 = Potential liability of £10.93

Outcomes:

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

Outcome Bookie Exchange Profit/Loss
Southampton win +£10.50 -£10.93 £0.43 loss
Southampton don’t win -£10.00 +£9.56 £0.44 loss

So, regardless of the outcome, we’ll lose a maximum of £0.44 in qualifying for our £5.00 free football acca.

Free Acca:

Our free £5.00 football acca will be available by 11:00 on Saturday 21st September 2019 and can be used on a 4-fold accumulator the same day.

Our selections must be from the 3pm Premier League and Championship matches and our accumulator must have total odds of 4.00 (3/1) or greater. The free acca stake will not be included in any returns.

To keep things simple, we could just punt the bonus for a low-risk shot a big return.

Having looked at the odds available, we could place our £5.00 free football acca on Everton, Man City, Luton and Nottingham Forest all to win at odds of 6.96.

If all four teams win, we’ll win £29.80 from our acca bet. If we take into account our minimum qualifying loss of £0.43, this gives us a potential profit of £29.37 on this SportPesa offer!

* Bournemouth beat Southampton 3-1 and Man City and Nottingham Forest were the only teams to win their respective acca fixtures, resulting in a loss of £0.44 on this SportPesa offer. *
