I feel sorry to the people who backed Chud. He was 1/14 in the 12th round.

probably being thick but that stake is around £170? so how does the £150 return mean you make 30 profit?

You get the 50 quid back if your in play bet loses.

Thanks :)

So if the odds are slightly different you just make sure your stake means the return for either side winning equals 150?

Is there anything you have to do to claim this offer or is it just open to everyone?

OK, might be being thick again but why doesn't it make more sense to just wait for barcelona to go 3-0 up or something and then put the in-play bet on them? (Or wait till 90th minute etc)

[freddydoesdallas]

The offer is open to any bet365 customer.

Regarding the waiting till the game is in play and them be 3-0 up. You have to stake (up to)£50 pre kick-off to get the in-play risk free bet offer. So you've already identified what you are going to back as soon as the game kicks off.

[Bard of Boxrec]

cheers! This offer seems too good to be true if it's every week. Surely it's going to be abused and they'll withdraw it?

If you have multiple bet365 accounts it's even better.

I'd say it happens around 15-20 times a season and bet365 would reason that most people won't use it in this way and that people will probably end up wasting the cash back on the site.

The big win has come in this season, Arsenal away at Bayern

[Bard of Boxrec]

15 times a season at an average minimum profit of what, 15 quid? Not bad! Also, look out for the £50 Bet365 On the Move bonus you can redeem if you bet on your phone. I didn't know about this until I chatted with someone on the site about my suspended account. It's a 'play it through' job, but worth doing.

Going to sign up for Winner for their £200 bonus soon, that's the only other site with such a large signup bonus. Will whore some other sites too and slap most of it on Josh KO1 probably.

One more time me being thick (sorry) - for every time this promotion is on, do you always have to make sure the return for either win result=150 if you are putting the full 50 on the draw?

As you will get your £50 back (if it doesn't end in a draw) you just make sure your minimum return is higher then the total stake for the 2 straight win bets, if that makes sense.

A guy on the site matchedbettingblog explains it all.

[Bard of Boxrec]

hmm. so i bet 50 on the draw in play but it was only to return 175 at these odds. should I have waited?

not got the hang of this yet

What's your full bet?

It's tricky as the odds changed a lot. If it's a draw your winnings won't be so much if you got those odds mentioned by The Insider for Barcelona and Arsenal. In a nutshell the draw odds pretty much dictate what you put on the other bets. When putting on those first bets I try to take in to account a drop in the draw odds and get the bet on immediately as they kick off. Hopefully someone'll win and they have the offer again soon.

I won so much last night I'm going to the cafe for the next month instead of cooking.

Daft as it sounds it was the easiest couple of hundred I've ever won. When I saw Barca go to evens before kick off I put my guaranteed winnings on it. Just demolished the first of many "belly busters".

Barcelona going to evens before kickoff sounds like an absolute gift! What on earth did the bookies see that made them give Arsenal more of a chance than before?

Although to be fair it could feasibly have been a draw. Evens though. Christ. And I thought they never got the big match prices wrong.

Anyway, made the promised £30 or thereabouts, so thanks again :)
