Just doing a little piece on this one as its not the Champions League that my page focuses on. However, i just wanted to alert any followers to a Bet365 offer which is effectively free money.
The BBC have produced an interesting take on this encounter which i would recommend reading, here. In short they basically outline how they believe Real Madrid to have a short advantage despite the fact that they have been in relatively poor form of late. This is primarily due to the squad depth that they can call upon, and Mourinho’s personal record against Man United.
The Bet
Bet365 are offering a deal where if you place a pre-match bet then they will give you a free In-Play bet to the same stake during the big match. It is only “free” as you get the in-play stake refunded if it loses….you still have to stump up the amount from your account. There is a maximum bet amount of £50.00 so to maximize this offer you will need £100 to stake.
Recommendation:
Route 1:
Place your £50 bet before kick off on double chance – Madrid/United @ 1.20, this returns £60
Then place £50 on ‘draw’ in play during the game, currently @4.5, returning £225
This means if Madrid or United win you will make £10 profit
However if the game ends as a draw, you will make £125 profit.
Route 2:
Place your £50 bet before kick off on double chance – Madrid/Draw @ 1.18, this returns £59.09
Then place £50 on Manchester Utd to win in play during the game, currently @ 5.2, returning £260
This means if Madrid win or draw you will make £9.09 profit
However if United win you will make £160 profit.
Although Route 2 offers you the chance of higher profit, you have to choose what outcome you deem to be more likely. If you think there is more chance of the game being a draw, then choose Route 1, if you think there is more chance that United will win, Route 2 is the one for you.
