Leicester have been brilliant in the Premier League this season, but how will the cope when Manchester City come to town on Saturday evening? Betway is doing the First Goal Wins offer on this game.

Bet £20 on either Leicester or Manchester City and if they score first, get paid out as a winner!

You could make a potential profit of £81.59.

Key Terms;

    • Max stake is £20.
    • Qualifying bets must be placed on Leicester or Manchester City in the Match Odds market.
    • Bet must be placed before kick-off, which is 5-30pm on Saturday.
    • If your team score first, you get paid out as a winner.

Let’s look at how to play this offer…

Step 1 – Place our qualifying bet:

The max stake is £20 so we need to place a £20 win bet on either Leicester or Manchester City. A bet on Leicester offers the biggest payout and as Manchester City are favourites, it’s more likely that Leicester could fail to win after potentially scoring first. This means we could collect with Betway as well as the exchanges.

For step 1, we place a £20 bet on Leicester at 4.2 with Betway.

Step 2 – Lay off on the exchanges:

After step 1, we’re going to lay off our bet with Betway on Betfair. To do that we can use the Profit Rush Bet Calculator. The Leicester win is 4.7 to lay on Betfair so we put all this into the calculator and get this screen:

As you can see, to set up the qualifying bet will cost us £2.42.

Now let’s look at the possible outcomes:

Outcome Bookmaker Exchange Profit & Loss

If Leicester score first and win

£64 -£66.42

-£2.42

If Leicester score first and fail to win

£64 +£17.59 +£81.59

If Leicester fail to score first and win

£64 -£66.42 -£2.42

If Leicester fail to score first and fail to win

-£20 £17.59 -£2.41

The above table is the outcomes should you let the bet run for the full 90 minutes. NOTE: You can trade out of your position on the exchanges if Leicester score first. Let’s look at an example.

  • Leicester score first, meaning you get £64 profit on Betway.
  • Your liability is £66.42 on the exchanges, however now Leicester are trading 2.7 one goal up. You can red out on the exchange for a loss of £13.31 by placing £31.25 on Leicester at 2.7.
  • This means you lock in £50.69 whatever happens. It’s up to you how you want to play the offer once Leicester score first. Remember trading in-play can be time-consuming and the markets can move fast.
