Bet 365 are once again offering a free In-Play bet of up to £50 when a pre-match bet of up to £50 is placed on the UEFA Champions League Manchester City v Barcelona game on Tuesday 24th February KO - 7.45pm..
To qualify for the free In-Play bet, simply place a bet with B365 before kick-off, then once the game starts place another bet on any In-Play market. If the In-Play bet loses B365 will refund this stake, up to the same value as the pre-match bet (max £50)
You obviously have to place a third bet with a DIFFERENT bookmaker (in my case: Bet Victor) to cover all eventualities ('Home' Win/Draw/'Away' Win) and guarantee a profit no matter what the result.
It all depends on how much you can afford to stake.
Here's how, and what I've staked so far:
23 Feb £50 on Barcelona to win @ 2.15 (B365)
23 Feb £29.86 on Man City to win @ 3.6 (Bet Victor)
Now, when the match starts on Tuesday, I'll go back to B365 and according to the terms of the bet I can place an In-Play bet of up to £50 in my scenario above, which is refunded if the bet loses.
So....what I will be doing just after the 7.45pm kick-off on Tuesday is:
24 Feb In-Play bet of £50 on the DRAW @ or around 3.5 (B365)
Using the odds I've quoted above:
If Barcelona win: 2.15 x £50 = £107.50 return. Add to this the refund of the losing In-Play bet of £50 = TOTAL RETURN of £157.50. Take away the total staked (£129.86); leaves a profit of £27.64
If Man City win: 3.6 x £29.86 = £107.50 return. Add to this the refund of the losing In-Play bet of £50 = TOTAL RETURN of £157.50. Take away the total staked (£129.86); leaves a profit of £27.64
If the In-Play DRAW bet wins: 3.5 x £50 = £175.00 for a TOTAL RETURN of £175.00 Take away the total staked (£129.86); leaves a profit of £45.14
(If the match ends in a draw, the DRAW odds can drop to 2.6 between now and the Tuesday KO for me to at least break even. (Hopefully they won't drop below 3.0 in the first couple of minutes of the game).
So whatever happens I'm going to win at least £27.64!!
Come on the draw!!!!
If you can afford it, get on....you can't lose.
Obviously by tweaking the stakes and/or getting better odds nearer KO will increase the overall profit, but what I've done above is good enough for me. It works every time!
