Tottenham v Man Utd Offer – Coral

It’s Tottenham v Man Utd in the Premier League on Sunday and Coral are getting in on the action. Simply bet £10.00+ on Tottenham or Man Utd to win and Coral will give us a £5.00 free bet for every goal scored in the match. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential profit of £11.54 and here’s how…

Key Terms:

  • Qualifying bets must be placed between 00:01 on Saturday 12th January 2019 and 16:30 (kick-off) on Sunday 13th January 2019.
  • We must bet £10.00+ on Tottenham v Man Utd in the Match Result market.
  • £5.00 free bet for every goal scored in the match, up to a maximum total of £15.00.

Qualifying Bet:

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

It’s entirely up to you which team you go for. Having looked at the odds available, we could place our qualifying bet on Tottenham.

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…

As you can see, the calculator tells us that our lay stake should be £9.72…

Place £10.00 on Tottenham @ 2.10 = Potential profit of £11.00

Smarkets logo

Lay £9.72 on Tottenham @ 2.18 = Potential liability of £11.46

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

Outcome Bookie Exchange Profit/Loss
Tottenham win +£11.00 -£11.46 £0.46 loss
Tottenham don’t win -£10.00 +£9.52 £0.48 loss

So, regardless of the outcome, we’ll lose a maximum of £0.48 in qualifying for our potential free bets.

Free Bets:

For every goal scored in the match, we’ll receive a £5.00 free bet within 24 hours of the final whistle, up to a maximum total of £15.00. Free bets will be valid for 7 days and free bet stakes are not included in any returns.

If three or more goals are scored in the match, we’ll receive £15.00 in free bets.

By using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to extract 80% cash from our £15.00 in free bets, so £12.00. If we take into account our minimum qualifying loss of £0.46, this gives us a potential profit of £11.54 on this Coral offer!

* Man Utd won the match 1-0, resulting in a profit of £3.52 on this Coral offer. *
