Translated into matched betting terms, this gives you a profit of £3.49 and here’s how…

Qualifying bet

It’s entirely up to you how you play this offer.

You could take a speculative approach and not lay your Build #YourOdds bet. If your bet loses, you’ll be able to convert your £5.00 free bet into 80% cash, so £4.00. That means the most you can lose on this offer is £1.00 and you could make a nice profit.

My preferred approach for this offer is to build a bet that is layable and lock in a profit. Please see my Bet Builders guide for a walkthrough on building layable selections.

At the time of writing, you could place your qualifying bet on ‘Liverpool (Result) / Over 2.5 (Total Goals)‘ at back odds of 2.00 (evens).

You can layLiverpool/Over 2.5 Goals‘ in the ‘Match Odds and Over/Under 2.5 Goals‘ market at odds of 2.20.

Either exchange works for this offer

Betfair and Smarkets are both great options for this offer. If you’ve not used one of them, now is a great time to give them a try.

  • Money back as cash up to £20
