Unibet Offer – Manchester City v Chelsea

It’s the first big match of the 2015/16 Premier League season and here’s a Unibet offer not to be missed. Simply place a bet on the match odds market (1X2) of Manchester City v Chelsea and if a penalty is awarded, Unibet will refund all losing bets up to maximum of £25.00 in CASH! Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential profit of £23.69 and here’s how…

Qualifying Bet:

This offer is only available to UK customers and we must Opt-In on the promotions page to be eligible for this offer.

If you’re unsure about how to place qualifying bets, check out my Qualifying Bet Strategy page for a walk-through 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 Chelsea 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.

I like to place my exchange lay bets with Smarkets as they have great liquidity in the run up to matches, the site is really easy to use and they only charge 2% commission in comparison to the 5% charged by other betting exchanges. We can calculate our lay stakes using the matched betting calculator.

Place £25.00 on Chelsea @ 3.80 = Potential profit of £70.00

Lay £24.17 on Chelsea @ 3.95 = Potential liability of £71.31

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

Chelsea win +£70.00 – £71.31 = £1.31 loss
Chelsea don’t win and a penalty is awarded -£25.00 + £23.69 + £25.00 (cash refund) = £23.69 profit
Chelsea don’t win and a penalty isn’t awarded -£25.00 + £23.69 = £1.31 loss

So if Chelsea fail to win and a penalty is awarded in 90 minutes, we will make a nice profit of £23.69!  If Chelsea win or a penalty isn’t awarded, we will make a small loss of £1.31.  Risking £1.31 for a potential profit of £23.69 gives us effective odds of 19.08. The fact that the odds of a penalty being awarded are only 3.60, makes this a very profitable offer in the long run.

Cash refunds will be credited to eligible players by 15:00 on Monday 17th August 2015.
