Not sure if there is another better way, but my way is:
£90 pre-match at Bet365 on Barca (currently returns £153 at @1.7. So, -90 bet and -30 other bet loss £33 profit)
£50 risk-free in-play at Bet365 on a draw. (currently returns £210 @4.2. So, -50 bet and -120 other bet losses a £40 profit)
£30 on Arsenal at a different bookies. (currently returns  £150 @5.0. So, -30 bet and -90 other bet loss £30 profit)

Which means about £30+ profit whatever happens. The only risk is the £50 in-play, where the odds on a draw could go down between now and then so you might want to wait to closer to kickoff.

Nice one thanks. Bet365 do so many of these offers a season it's probably worth just doing it and withdrawing your original stake all together and keeping the profit gained in your account. Your bound to get to a few hundred in a few months I reckon. I have a sneaky feeling they will do the same for Sunday for our match too.

Can you still do an in-play risk free bet like this? Because the value of your original bet was £90 and not £50?

Yeah it's a free in play up matched to your original up to a maximum of £50. So you might want to put £50 on at Bet365 and £40 somewhere else. Especially if you can better better odds elsewhere.

Obviously, check the full T&Cs, so you don't get caught out with anything  (like that only your FIRST in-play bet is risk-free)

Over 0.5 pre match £50. 0-0 with another bookies for a fover. Then £50 in play on suarez 2+ or 3-1 barca

[S.Red please]

Over 0.5 pre match £50. 0-0 with another bookies for a fover. Then £50 in play on suarez 2+ or 3-1 barca

You won't be able to get Player markets in-play on Bet365 mate. Which means you'll have to put Suarez 2+ or 3-1 Barca pre match and then Over 0.5 In Play. You wouldn't be able to get your stake back though if someone other than Suarez scored so maybe better to see if Next Goalscorer market will be open.

i've done it in the past. Its called multiscorers in play

[S.Red please]

I find for some of the high profile matches they take the multiscorer market off the in play markets. I've had a chat with someone from B365 just now to check who said the market should be available but theres a good chance it wont be due to it being a high profile match. Fucking helpful lad he was ay 

I'll go with you on this one, suppose if the multiscorer market isn't open can always stick it on something else as it is a risk free bet.

well thats a bummer. Told everyone in work suarez 2+ now. Cmon 3-1 barca then. Just like the free bet in the final with the buffon hail mary and neymar scoring with the last kick of the season

[Shaneee.]

Suarez FGS anyone?

[Wyl]

Just a heads up that for the Chelsea v PSG game, Bet365 will be doing the up to £50 risk-free bet in-play when you bet that amount pre-match again.

Obviously, read the full T&C's (the easiest one to miss is that they only count your FIRST pre-match bet for the risk-free bet and only your FIRST in-play bet is risk-free.)

What you going for this time mate to guarantee profit?

[Wyl]

What you going for this time mate to guarantee profit?

Probably the easiest way is for £50 with Bet365 on PSG, back Chelsea with another bookies, then a draw in-play with Bet365. As it stands at the moment that gets you about £30 whatever happens. But, I'm going to leave it closer to the kick off this time. I had it all planned out like this last time but the odds on the draw drifted so much pre-kick off that I wished I'd waited, so I'm going to wait and see.

[markay_stinkay]

Haven't looked at any prices but might do King Zlatan FGS with the free £50. Tie isn't delicate enough to be confident in a correct score.

I think I'm going all out and having Chelsea-PSG HT/FT (Chelsea to be winning at half time, PSG to win out right). They slipped up late against Stoke on the weekend got a feeling it might happen again. 29/1... Unrealistic but if it comes in I'm absolutely laughing.

[S.Red please]

Never mind, I've changed my mind

£50 pre match on PSG = £135 (£35 profit)
£50 in play on draw = £170 (£20 profit)
£50 pre match on Chelsea on MarathonBet = £143.50 (£43.50 profit)

Hoping for a PSG or Chelsea win so I can whack the stake on the Europa Matches.

Has anyone used Marathon Bet before? I could get £137.50 on SkyBet but I'm not too fussed on making a new account. Extra profit and I might get a free offer etc. back with it also.

Nice, I've still not made up my mind.  I've not used Marathon Bet myself but heard from others that they are fine. If you are doing any signing up offers though watch out for any dodgy roll-over requirements which could stop you withdrawing.

A matched bet shouldn't stop you withdrawing should it? If I sign up bet £50 and they promise to match it with a free bet, the original bet will be sound I think. Whatever I put the £50 free bet on afterwards, that one would be the one that is affected with having to roll over initial stake etc.

Not sure of the specifics of the welcome offer with the Marathon Bet mate. It's definitely worth looking into the details of it though because I've heard some horror stories with other bookies promotional welcome offers. It's why I don't touch the Bet365 welcome offer £200 deposit match for example.

[Rusty]

WH Aus at it again. For the T20 World Cup, back a team in the H2H market and get $1 for every boundary 4 (i.e. non all run 4) and $2 for every 6 they hit, regardless of the result.

Already $41 up after the first 2 matches, happy days!!

[Wyl]

Just a heads up regarding some of the better offers I've seen around for the Cheltenham Festival. I've even ranked them for you

3) Ladbrokes - up to £25 back as a free bet if the SP fave wins on the first race of each day.

2) Coral - bet £20 on the Supreme Novices Hurdle and get a £5 free bet for each Mullins winner on Day 1. Not bad considering there is a better than evens chance of 3+ Mullins winners.

1) SkyBet - get up to £25 back as a free bet if you back on a loser to win on the first race of each day.

Not a massive fan of the horses but might take a couple of these up though.

Paddy power also giving money back free bets if your horse finishes 2nd on every Cheltenham race.

Always excited about Cheltenham weeks before and loved picking out my Anti post bets in the months and weeks leading up to the festival, had to stop myself this year after what the bookies have been giving away over the last few years.
found it annoying to have  a £10 or £20 anti post bet on something and could have done the same bet with money back if losses or placed with a bookie on the day.
Cheltenham offers are too good to turn down nowadays

It's the time of the year for free bets, the Corals ones for new customers are ridiculous. Giving money away.

Just taken advantage (I hope) of the any Mullins winner 8/1 (bet £5).  Winnings in free bets but as i don't normally bet on Cheltenham I might hang on for the Grand National unless there's an expiry date on the free bets.
