56 pages to go through, can someone summarise in a couple of sentences what the offer is and what bets they normally do to reach a profit?

Place a £50 bet pre match and you get a £50 in play bet completely risk free. If you are risk adverse you can guarantee a small print of about £20 or you can go for it a bit more. I've always made a profit

Was going to do my usual Arsenal or BM at 1.28 and then just after k/o Draw at about 3.8 so profit either £14 or £90

But looking at the odds Arsenal or Draw pre game is 1.83 and in play BM win is 2.00 so that would be £41.50 or £50 profit, unless I'm missing something obvious


Edit: :facepalm: spotted my error if BM win then its £100 back but £100 spent so nil profit

Provided there's an early goal I'm going to HAVE to go with Sanchez as well, given what he won me last time out.

Failing that I'll place the draw at HT so I'm not distracted from the absolute FELCHING we're giving to the Shitheads.

Over 0.5 goals pre-match, draw in-play.

Same bet every time this offer comes round.

they do this about 12 times a season? statistically, 3-4 of these will end in draws, that's about £400 risk free profit a season.

No brainer for me.

I've gone for > 0.5 goals and covered the nil nil at betfair. Going to have a punt on the Arsenal win in play. I'm nervous that sooner or later they will call foul on the options that guarantee a profit with the combination of the 2 bets at Bet365 alone. It would be pretty harsh, but they could strictly invoke the letter of the t+c's one day.

Heads up - Ladbrokes are doing their HAPPY SHOPPER version of Bet365's fine offer.

It's only £25 risk free, and the first bet has to be 1.6 or greater. Nevertheless, I shall be getting involved in this too. :thumbsup:

While you're on Bet365, it might or might not be tempting fate to stick a couple of quid on a Dale Stephens for first goalscorer in the REAL big match of the night. Currently 14/1!

The Ladbrokes offer is a bit of a game changer. To clarify, they are doing something very similar. The two differences being: a) It's only £25 risk free and b) Your pre-match bet has to be odds of 1/2 or higher. But this could be worked to ensure a bigger cumulative win.

I think this is the best I can do:

Prematch:
Bet365: £50 on >0.5 goals at returns £51.51
Ladbrokes: £25 on Bayern returns £51.25

First five mins, in play:
Bet365: £50 on Arsenal/Draw double chance returns £90

Total outlay £150 (£75 of which is risk-free and therefore refundable)
Total profit:

if Arsenal win: £51.52+£90-£75 = £66.52
if Bayern win: £51.52+£51.25-£75 = £27.77
if score draw: £51.52+£90-£75 = £66.52
if 0-0: £90-£75 = £15

Guaranteed profit, and you still have your risk-free £25 bet at Ladbrokes to play with :thumbsup:

:lolol: I've just worked out something really similar...

Prematch:
B365 - +0.5goals £50 @ 1/33
Ladbrokes - Bayern (HomeNoBet) £25 @ 4/9

In Play:
B365 - Draw £50 @ 11/4

Meaning:
Arsenal win - £1.52 profit
Bayern win - £12.63 profit
Score draw - £114.02 profit
0-0 draw - £62.50 profit

PLUS your £25 in play ladbrokes bet.

(great minds)

How about if you work the Ladbrokes £25 risk free bet in on the action - say put that on the Arse and then keep the B365 inplay on just the draw?

Something like this...

Pre:
B365 - +0.5
Lad - Bayern

InPlay:
B365 - Draw
Lad - Arsenal

Min profit = £27.77 ish (Bayern)
Max profit = £114.02 ish (Score Draw)

The ladrokes pre match bet needs to be at odds greater than 1/2, so does the 4/9 not disqualify you?

Correct me if I'm wrong but if Arsenal win then is it not 51.51+90-125= £16.51 profit? (+risk free £25 at ladbrokes)

I *think* you're wrong. Where do you get the 125 deduction from? You're only ever liable for the initial 50 Bet365 and 25 Ladbrokes bets - the in play bets are refunded.

But surely the in-play bets are only refunded if you lose them, so in the instance of Arsenal winning you have not lost the in-play bet?
