It’s Arsenal v Aston Villa in the Premier League on Friday night and The Pools are getting in on the action! Place £5.00 on Arsenal to score first at boosted odds of evens and qualify for a £5.00 free bet if you bet a further £20.00 on the Premier League this weekend. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £3.38 and here’s how…
Price boost
In order to qualify for the ‘Bet £20, Get £5’ offer, we need to place a bet of £5.00+ on Arsenal to score first against Aston Villa at boosted odds of 2.00 (evens).
For a walkthrough of how to lay price boosts, please see my price boosts guide.
Smarkets works best for this offer
Smarkets’ 0% commission rate makes them the best option for this offer.
They often have less liquidity than Betfair, but for this offer, that’s okay. You can go ahead and maximise your profits.
- 0% commission for 60 days
We can calculate our lay stake using my Matched Betting Calculator…
As you can see, the calculator tells us that our lay stake should be £5.49…
Place £5.00 on ‘Arsenal to score first’ @ 2.00 = Potential profit of £5.00
Lay £5.49 on ‘First team to score – Arsenal’ @ 1.84 = Potential liability of £4.61
Outcomes
Let’s have a look at our profit/loss for the two potential outcomes…
| Outcome | The Pools | Smarkets | Profit/Loss |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arsenal score first | + £5.00 | – £4.61 | £0.39 profit |
| Arsenal don’t score first | – £5.00 | + £5.38 | £0.38 profit |
So, no matter the outcome, we’ll make a guaranteed profit of £0.38 in qualifying for our ‘Bet £20, Get £5’ offer.
Qualifying bet
If you’d like more information about qualifying bets and how they work, please see my qualifying bets guide.

Either exchange works for this offer
