So now we’ve had time to lick the salt out of our wounds from the Carling Cup and Bendtner’s had time to develop an even bigger ego, we’ve also made a decent £90 profit since starting our betting journey just over 5 weeks ago. This week should see us surpass £200 so we’ll have generated over double our original £100 stake. I think it’s about time us classy Gooner fans joined the ‘Gentleman’s Bookmaker’ Victor Chandler and made ourselves a tidy profit. To get to the site, just click here.

The format is pretty simple, a 100% reload bonus anywhere up to £25, so we’ll just need to back and lay our qualifying bet again in order to unlock the free bet and make a profit.

As always, first things first, we need to change to decimal odds. This can be done on the top right of the screen where it says ‘fractions’ and after you click this you then get the option to switch it over to decimal. This is also close to the ‘live chat’ service which I used just to clarify a few things. I can vouch that the helpers are very friendly and informative, so if there’s any problems you’re having just use the instant online chat. Once you have registered, deposit £25 in your account.

So at Victor Chandler under “Sports” in the left hand column, select “Football” and then “ENG Barclays Premier League”. This displays all of the weekend’s games so by Arsenal v Sunderland click the draw at odds 4.400 as our qualifier has to be on odds over 2. Predominantly I’ve chosen this because its odds are very close to the lay at Betfair of 4.5 but also with Manchester United slipping up I can just see it that we typically fail to capitalise! So click the 4.400 box and put £25 on it in the bet slip in the top right corner, and make sure select the button below to place your bet.

At Betfair select “Football” then “English Football” and “Barclays Premier League”. Under Arsenal v Sunderland you’ll see the draw has odds 4.5, so click the pink “lay” button and place £20 on it.

This leaves us with the 2 outcomes:

A draw brings us + £15 (That’s +£85 at Victor Chandler and -£70 at Betfair)

A win for either side leaves us -£5 (That’s +£20 at Betfair but -£25 at Victor Chandler) but we get a free £25 bet that we can use to make a profit in the Barcelona game midweek.

The free bet will appear as ‘promo cash’ and should be credited within 48 hours of our qualifying bet being settled. As I said before this is just in time to make the Barcelona game that little bit tenser. Overall then, in the first part of this bet it does leave us with the option of being -£5 but providing we use the promo cash correctly we will of made a profit out of Victor Chandler so remember, “Why gamble when you can win?”
