How It Works

 

The way this promotion works is that if you place a pre-game wager on the Arsenal/Liverpool match, Bet365 will give you a risk-free wager of the same amount (up to $50) in their live-betting interface. This means you will need to have 100 units of currency in your account to take full advantage of this promotion. Now you might think that there is a catch, but if you play your cards right everything will be very safe.

Now there are three things that you can do with your free promotion. You can bet against your pre-game wager to give yourself a true risk-free $50 wager, you can use your pre-game wager on a very probable market and use your in-play bet for a connected long-shot, or you can double-up on one side. Lets break down each one.

 

Option #1 – True Risk Free Wager

 

If you would like to have a true risk-free wager, decide what side you like before the game begins. That will end up being your true wager. For example, I believe Liverpool will cover the Asian handicap in this game, which is currently set at +0.75 (1.90). If you agree with me, then place a $50 wager on that line before the game begins. As soon as it starts, you will place your risk-free promotional $50 bet on the opposite side (which will be Arsenal -0.75, at around 1.90). If Arsenal end up covering, you will break even (aside from small losses on the juice, which is fine considering the potential benefits). If Liverpool win or draw, you will get the money from your free-wager back, and can collect the winnings on your pre-game wager.

 

Option #2 – Correlated Favourite and Underdog

 

The next option will see you placing your pre-game wager on a very large favourite (to give you access to the promotion), and your in-play wager on something that is indirectly correlated to the initial marker. The best way to do this is to place your first $50 on there being over 0.5 goals in the match. This is a huge favourite, so you will not be expecting much in return. Next, once the game begins, you will go ahead and place your promotional wager on the draw. Now this gives you three possible outcomes:

 

(1) If one team wins, this means that the initial pre-game wager won, and you will make a very small profit (few dollars).

(2) If there is a scoreless draw, this means the initial wager loses, but you will make a decent return on the in-play wager (~$100)

(3) If there is a score draw, this means both wagers win, and you will have the biggest possible return (~$150)

 

This option is recommended for anyone who believes that there is a high chance that a draw will occur. You are guaranteed to not lose any money.

 

Option #3 – Double-Wager

 

The last option is the only one where you have the potential for losing money. This one implies placing your $50 pre-game wager and the $50 in-play promotional offer on the same market. This should only be done if you are very confident with one side winning the game.

Statistically, it is not a bad idea. If you were to bet on Liverpool +0.5 at 2.25 odds, you would essentially be getting 3.50. This is a great bet, as if you were to place it an infinite amount of times, you would generate a clear profit. This will apply for whichever market you elect to pick.
