Some Champions League nights are just special. Real Madrid hosting Manchester City is one of those nights!
It’s excellent that we have such a high-value offer on this game too. Bet365 is doing Bet £50 pre-match and Get £50 in-play on this fixture.
We’re going to show you how to profit…
The Bet365 Bet £50 Get £50 is one of, if not the best, Matched Betting offers out there. You can register to use our premium tools for free here.
What You Need:
- A Bet365 account with £100 available funds.
- An exchange account with £300 or more balance available.
If you haven’t got an exchange account, there is a choice of 4 here.
Make sure you have got the email from Bet365 or it appears on your account before doing this offer! You don’t have to Opt In but you have to have got a message from Bet365. Usually, unless you’re restricted it’s available to everyone.
Step 1, Find Your Trigger Bet:
First, we need to place a £50 bet on the game before it starts. Any market on Real Madrid v Manchester City will do but we want to find the best match possible.
To do this, use the Profit Rush Price Matcher. Tick the boxes as they appear in the photo below:
This is a fantastic game to do this offer because we have such an open match odds market between two evenly matched teams. The prices you select in-play later are actually very important. We have a table at the bottom of the article to show why.
For Step 1, the aim is to find the match that will cost us the least amount of money to set up our free bet. The Profit Rush Price Matcher tells us that we have two options very close together. Both Teams To Score and Manchester City to win. There’s only a few pennies in the difference so we’re going to go with Manchester City to win because 2 Up will apply to that bet too.
If you don’t understand 2 UP’s, check out this blog.
Manchester City to win is 2.37 with Bet365 and 2.46 to lay on Betfair.
Step 1 Action: We place a £50 bet on Manchester City with Bet365 at 2.37 (11/8).
Step 2, Now We Calculate the Lay Bet:
Now that we have placed our £50 trigger bet with Bet365, we need to lay that bet back on an exchange. The trigger bet has already locked in our £50 free bet later, but we now have to lay off the trigger bet so we have no risk.
We already know what we have to lay on the exchange, but we need to find the stake.
To do this we can use the Profit Rush Bet Calculator. We know the prices already, so we just have to put our stake and prices into the Calculator. We then see this screen:
As you can see, the correct stake to lay on Betfair is £48.57. This only results in a £2.41 loss and with a free £50 bet to come in-play later this is ideal!
Step 2 Action: We have used the Profit Rush Bet Calculator to get the correct stake.
Step 3, Place the Lay Bet:
Now that we know what the correct stake to use, step 3 is simple.
Profit Rush users can directly place the correct lay bet through the Bet Calculator if you have your Betfair account linked.
If you aren’t using integration, log into your Betfair account and lay Manchester City at 2.46. The lay button is on the right-hand side of the market.
The easiest way to know that you are correctly laying a bet is the colour of the box. They all match the colour on the right-hand side. Plus it will always show you a liability when laying.
Step 3 Action: Place the lay bet of £48.57 on Manchester City at 2.46 with Betfair. Your liability will be £70.91.
Pre-Match Steps COMPLETE!
That’s all you need to do pre-match. The above example has cost us £2.41 however, we have our £50 free bet to come in-play…
As per Bet365 rules, we have to place a £50 bet in-play with our own money and they will credit this back if it loses later. So don’t be expecting a £50 free bet to pop up when the game goes in-play.
Step 4, Place Your £50 Bet In-Play:
You can use the Profit Rush Price Matcher again for this. However, if you have Bet365 and an exchange open in two windows you can do it manually.
The odds will change in-play so we have to get our business done quickly. However, we highly recommend waiting and placing your bets at Half-Time when the odds won’t move as much.
For this, we’re going to give you an example because that’s the easiest way to explain it. Let’s say the game is going well for Pep Guardiola’s men and City lead 1-0 at HT. Real Madrid are trading 6.0 with Bet365 and are 6.2 to lay on Betfair. This is going to be our target match.
Step 4 Action: We place a £50 bet with Bet365 on Real Madrid at 6.0 (5/1) at Half-Time.
Step 5, Get the Correct Stake to Lay on the Exchanges to Lock in a Profit:
OK, so now we’ve placed our £50 free bet in-play – we need to lock in a profit.
At the moment, we lose £2.41 if Real Madrid fail to win and we need to lock in profit. To do this we use the Profit Rush Bet Calculator again.
We use the calculator just as in Step 2, however this time we make sure that FREE BET (SNR) is selected in the Bet Type drop-down menu. This is very important, otherwise, your figures will be wrong.
We will then get this screen:
As you can see, the Profit Rush Bet Calculator has told us to lay Real Madrid for £40.45 on Betfair, which means our liability will be £210.34. But remember we have £250 profit if they win with Bet365.
Step 5 Action: We get the correct stake to lay Real Madrid on Betfair.
Step 6, Strike the Lay Bet and Lock in Your Profit:
Again, step 6 is exactly the same as Step 3, only this time the odds and stake are different – as you have got them from Step 5.
After you have placed your lay bet from Step 5 you have now locked in a profit of £39.64. However, remember to set up our trigger bet it cost us £2.41 so take that away.
That leaves us with a profit of £37.23. Not bad for ten minutes work. You can see why this is one of the best Matched Betting Offers around!
REMEMBER: The prices you select in-play are very important.
- Check out the table below to see why.
| Odds for £50 In-play Bet With Bet365 | Estimated Exchange Liability When Lay Bet Placed | Estimated Profit |
| 2.0 | £30 | £21 |
| 3.0 | £75 | £30 |
| 4.0 | £125 | £33 |
| 5.0 | £175 | £35 |
| 6.0 | £225 | £37 |
Always try and find reasonably high odds at Half-Time, but of course, keep in mind that you need a good match with the exchanges too. Remember your balance on the exchanges will affect your choice also; you need to have enough in your account to cover the liability.
