Coral Offer – Washington Redskins @ Cincinnati Bengals

NFL returns to Wembley this afternoon and you don’t want to miss this Coral offer. Simply bet £10.00+ on Washington Redskins @ Cincinnati Bengals and win or lose, Coral will give us a £10.00 free bet to use on Minnesota Vikings @ Chicago Bears on Monday night. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £5.53 and here’s how…

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.

Qualifying bets must be placed at odds of 1.50 (1/2) or greater on any Washington Redskins @ Cincinnati Bengals pre-match market, between 08:00 and 13:30 today (Sunday 30th October 2016), to be eligible.

Having looked at the odds available, I’ve opted to place my qualifying bet on Cincinnati Bengals to win (Money Line).

I like to place my exchange lay bets with Smarkets as they have great liquidity, 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 my matched betting calculator…

Place £10.00 on Cincinnati Bengals @ 1.615 = Potential profit of £6.15

Lay £9.73 on Cincinnati Bengals @ 1.68 = Potential liability of £6.62

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

Cincinnati Bengals win + £6.15 – £6.62 = £0.47 loss
Cincinnati Bengals don’t win – £10.00 + £9.53 (£9.73 minus 2% commission) = £0.47 loss

So regardless of the outcome, we will lose £0.47 in qualifying for our £10.00 free bet.

Free Bet:

Our £10.00 free bet will be credited upon settlement of our qualifying bet and must be used on Minnesota Vikings @ Chicago Bears (00:30 on Tuesday 1st November 2016).

By using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to extract 60% of our £10.00 free bet as cash, so around £6.00. If we take into account our qualifying loss of £0.47, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £5.53 on this Coral offer!
