Stan James Champions League Mobile 2/1 Free Bet Offer

Another crack at the great mobile 2/1 offer from Stan James.  All you need to do is place a single bet at odds of 2/1 or greater via Mobile or Tablet on Zenit St. Petersburg v Borussia Dortmund or Olympiakos v Manchester United on Tuesday, and if it goes on to win Stan James will match your stake as a Free Bet up to £25.00. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential profit of £17.14! And here’s how…

It’s entirely up to you which selection you go for but I’ve gone for a draw between Olympiakos and Manchester United.

 

Step 1:

Place £25.00 on the draw @ Stan James @ 3.30 = Potential profit of £57.50.

Lay £24.63 on the draw @ Betfair @ 3.40 = Potential liability of £59.11.

Step 2:

 

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

 

Draw

£57.50 – £59.11 + £18.75 (Assumes a 75% return from our £25.00 free bet) = £17.14 profit

Not drawn

-£25.00 + £23.40 = £1.60 loss

 

So as things stand we will win £17.14 if the match is drawn!  If the match isn’t drawn, we will lose £1.60, which I’m sure you’ll agree is a risk worth taking.  If we stood to lose more than £2.00, I would have advised laying the draw at Betfair which would eradicate the potential loss and reduce our potential winnings slightly.
