We will treat this bet a simple Bet X Get X offer. All we need to do is back and lay a qualifying bet on the markets highlighted above and extract our profit from the £10.00 free bet should Man City win and our qualifying bet lose. We should aim to lose no more than £1.50 on our qualifying loss. For this offer we have selected to place our qualifying bet on David Silva/First Goalscorer at odds of 13.0.
