You will then see the betting screen appear. Type in your stake of £10 as highlighted in the red circle below and submit and confirm your bet.

Place the FREE bet in the bookmaker

After you place the bet above in Coral, go back to the home page. You will notice that your balance is still £10. This is because you have been credited with a £10 free bet. Continue to place the same bet again, this time the £10 free bet will be used instead of your own real money stake.

Place the LAY in the bookmaker

We now need to lay the same outcome in betfair with the correct stake. This ensures that you have all outcomes covered, making just a small 'acceptable loss' in order obtain the free bet.

To lay your bet click on the PINK box corresponding to Aston Villa , stating odds of 1.44  as highlighted with the red circle below.

You will then notice the betting slip appearing on the right hand side. Type in £20.86  for your lay stake, as shown with the red square below and your liability of £9.18  will be displayed. Submit and confirm your bet.

Whatever happens, the profit made in one site will more than cover the losses incurred in the other and leave you with £9.82  profit.

• If Aston Villa  win you will make £19  profit in Coral and lose the £9.18  liability in betfair, leaving you with £9.82  profit.
• If Aston Villa do not  do not win, or the game is a draw you will make £19.82  profit in betfair (your lay stake minus 5% commission) and lose the £10  deposited in Coral, leaving you with £9.82  profit.
