It’s Man City v Leicester in the Premier League on Sunday, and The Pools are getting in on the action! Place £5.00 on Man City to score two or more goals at boosted odds of 6/4 and qualify for a £5.00 free bet if you bet a further £20.00 on selected events. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a profit of £10.64, and here’s how…
Price boost
To qualify for the two ‘Bet £20, Get £5’ offers, we need to place a bet of £5.00+ on Man City to score two or more goals in the match at boosted odds of 2.50 (6/4).

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 £9.84…
Place £5.00 on ‘Man City to score two or more goals in the match’ @ 2.50 = Potential profit of £7.50
Lay £9.84 on ‘Over 1.5 Goals’ (Man City Over/Under 1.5 Goals) @ 1.29 = Potential liability of £2.85
Outcomes
Let’s have a look at our profit/loss for the two potential outcomes…
| Outcome | The Pools | Betfair | Profit/Loss |
|---|---|---|---|
| Man City score 2+ goals | + £7.50 | – £2.85 | £4.65 profit |
| Any other outcome | – £5.00 | + £9.64 | £4.64 profit |
So, no matter the outcome, we’ll make a minimum profit of £4.64 in qualifying for our two ‘Bet £20, Get £5’ offers.
