£50 Free In-Play Bet on Man City v Liverpool

I'm looking to do a Jive on it, only thing is I'm slightly worried as I wouldn't be surprised if it did end 0-0. Anyone have any more or less sure thing on the game other than over0.5 goals.

Also with the free bet I presume it's like all the other free bet's and stake is not returned?

I always get confused with this. :pac:

So is there 3 bets overall? 1 pre game and 2 live?

No, 1 pre game then 1 live, if live bet loses you'll be given a free bet to the value of the stake.

First Half Goals under 3.5 1/66, gonna take this and then see how the match is going in-play and hopefully get lucky with something at long-odds.

One I might take a chance on is Liverpool in the race to 9 corners, I'm fairly sure Pool will win the corners match (13/8 might go for this either) so at 15/2 I think it might be worth chancing the inplay 50 on this. Anyone any thoughts on it?

haha i like that you've named that strategy after me :P

Thing with the over 0.5 goals is you can always back under 0.5 goals as well in running so that you can't actually lose any money. If the unders comes in then you might make a few hundred depending on when you backed it!

The stake is returned on the 'free bet' if you win because they just pay you back if it loses. So if you win, you technically won with your own money so it's like a normal bet.

Can't watch the match (back at college, no skysports fuuuuuuuuu) tonight but will back over 0.5 and il back under 0.5 if there's no goals after an hour or so (depending on what the odds are). I can't see City not scoring for a 3rd game in a row though so I expect they will score. I don't have a clue what I'm going to do in-running though, maybe correct score or something but anything i put on will be a shot in the dark unless my ****ty college internet can maintain a stream.

Yeah, forgot I coukd back the under's in play, figured that it'd be in the t's and c's that you can't guarentee profit but don't remember seeing it anywhere.

Think I'm going to go for Pool in the race to 9 corner's, they've done it in a good few away matches where they have went behind so I'm hoping for City to go ahead, (and then lose 2-1 ).

back over 0.5 goals before the game and as soon as the game starts back the draw.

anything in the T&C about this?

have I pissed anyone off by giving advice again?

Would it not be better to go over 0.5 before the game and back the 0-0 draw at 9/1 as soon as the game starts? Don't think I remember seeing anything in the T&Cs.

Is there any need for that sort of attitude?

Definately would be better considering the way we are thinking of taking advantage of the offer.

Don't think I could ever be comfortable backing something at 1/66 when 1/12 is freely available on Betfair, even if it is just to get a free bet.

why put yourself in a position to lose your entire stake when the offer allows you to place a risk free bet?

this is what i'm talking about

How am I putting myself at risk of losing my entire stake, if the in-play loses (likely) I will get a €50 free bet, if the pre match loses (highly unlikely) I will be down €50 pending result of inplay bet.

pre:man city & draw is 1/5
in running: liverpool at the off should be 16/5

thats another option

man city or draw you make a tenner profit
liverpool win you make 110.

your a very argumentative person. just think for a second ffs.

I'm the argumentative person:pac: haha

You're first comment on the thread

have I pissed anyone off by giving advice again?

:rolleyes:

€50 on Draw with Bet365 @ 5/2 - returns €175
€40 on Pool @ 7/2 - returns €180
€90 on City @ 20/21 - returns €175.50

Total staked = €180
Max Loss = €5

Put Free bet on whatever you like with a max loss of €5

eg - back the Draw just after KO (say @ 5/2)

If City win - get back €175.50 + €50.00 from €230 staked = €4.50 loss
If Draw - get back €175 + €175 from €230 staked = €120 profit
If Pool win - get back €180 + €50 from €230 staked = break even

So basically you are staking €4.50 to win €120

Maybe you're missing the post above yours?

Here it is again with the important bits in bold:

That said you can sometimes get away with it (I have) but there is a risk involved.

Some of ye mite be doing three or four bets in the City game, then ye mite be better off only placing two bets with BET365 and rest with other bookmaker.

For example DB74 post.

I'll probably just back Spearing to be booked and leave it at that.

What about 50 pre-match at 10/11 and 50 in play on pool and draw at 4/5??

City win = 45.45 profit
Pool or draw = 40 profit

Or am I missing something?

Does bet 365 return the free bet stake if your in play bet wins? Or if pool or draw comes in do i just get 40e returned and be down a tenner

your betting your own money in play. They refund your stake if it loses.

Went for city win pre match and city corner handicap in play

To get around this I done over 0.5 goals 1/16 pre game..then got 10/1 for No Goalscorer(best price) to cover myself on sky bet. That way if theres an og and it ended 1-0 I would have won on both bets. So I had a risk free free bet(done the the draw in play):rolleyes:

penalty...3rd goal... tempted

it hasn't failed me yet!! :pac:

edit: gone for it at 14/1... now off for food cause i cant even watch the game
