Unibet Offer – FA Cup Final

The FA Cup Final gets underway this evening and here is a Unibet offer not to be missed.  Simply place a bet on the match odds market (1X2) of Arsenal v Aston Villa and if a penalty is awarded in 90 minutes, Unibet will refund all losing bets up to maximum of £30.00 in CASH!  Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential profit of £26.65 and here’s how…

 

 

Qualifying Bet:

If you’re unsure about how to place qualifying bets, check out my Qualifying Bet Strategy page for a walkthrough guide on how it should be done.

It’s entirely up to you which match odds selection you go for but it makes sense to back Aston Villa as this selection is most likely to lose based on the odds.  Remember, we only get a cash refund in the event of a penalty being awarded, if our match odds bet has lost.  We can work out our lay stake using the matched betting calculator.

Place £30.00 on Aston Villa @ 6.50 = Potential profit of £165.00

betfair

Lay £28.06 on Aston Villa @ 7.00 = Potential liability of £168.35

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

 

Aston Villa win +£165.00 – £168.35 = £3.35 loss
Aston Villa don’t win and a penalty is awarded -£30.00 + £26.65 + £30.00 (cash refund) = £26.65 profit
Aston Villa don’t win and a penalty isn’t awarded -£30.00 + £26.65 = £3.35 loss

 

So if Aston Villa fail to win and a penalty is awarded in 90 minutes, we will make a nice profit of £26.65!  If Aston Villa win in 90 minutes or a penalty isn’t awarded, we will make a small loss of £3.35.  Risking £3.35 for a potential profit of £26.65 gives us effective odds of 8.96.  The fact that the odds of a penalty being awarded are only 4.00, makes this a very profitable offer in the long run.
