Get paid out early on your Bet365 bets when your team pulls ahead.
The concept of Bet365's 2 goals ahead offer is pretty simple. If you've placed a pre-match bet on the Full Time Result market for a soccer game and the team you've backed takes a 2-goal lead at any point, then your bet will immediately be settled as a winner.
After that, you can sit back and enjoy the game, knowing that your profit is safe, even if your team goes on to draw or lose.
This promotion is compatible with the new customer Bet365 bonus code, so should you be paid out early, you'll still receive any bonuses due.
We know that edge-of-your-seat feeling. You place a bet on a team to win, they're ahead by 2 goals, but there's still time to play. There are plenty of examples of teams losing from a 2 goal lead.
In 2019 Ajax were 2-0 up at 35 minutes before losing both the game and their chance at the Champions League final for the first time in 24 years to Tottenham in extra time.
In the 2018 World Cup, a match-up between Belgium and Japan started with a surprising 2-goal lead for Japan in the game's opening minutes. The lead lasted 20 minutes before 2 goals in quick succession brought Belgium back to level pegging before scoring the winning goal in the game's final minute.
Also, in 2018, Manchester City took a 2 goal lead in a Premier League game that would have won them the title if they'd kept it. Manchester United fought back, winning the game with 3 goals, and while they couldn't stop City from taking the title, they did delay it by a few weeks.
These might be exciting games to watch from a sporting perspective, but for a bettor, it can be devastating to see a team you've backed to win go on to lose the game after going 2 goals up, especially if you've got good odds on an underdog.
If you'd placed a £10 bet at Bet365 at 17/2 on Japan to win the World Cup game mentioned above, then as soon as Japan scored their second goal, you would have been paid out as a winner making a total profit of £85. The fact that Japan went on to lose the match makes no difference, and you'd make a bigger profit than if you'd backed Belgium as the winner at odds of 2/5, where you'd have only made £4.
The offer only applies to the standard Full Time Result Market.
The concept of the 2 ahead offer is straightforward, but there are some terms and conditions to be aware of.
The offer only applies to the standard Full Time Result Market. This means that it only takes 90 minutes play into account, not including extra time or penalties. If your team goes into extra time 0-0 before taking a 2-0 lead, then you'll only get paid out if they hang onto that win for the remainder of the game.
If you have placed a multiple bet, that portion of the bet will be treated as a winner for your overall payout if your team goes 2 goals ahead, even though it will be displayed as a loser.
You should also check that your bet is being placed on a qualifying competition. With nearly 100 competitions listed on the Bet365 website, it's a pretty comprehensive list, but it's always worth double-checking, especially if betting on less well-known leagues.
Finally, hold your nerve. If you cash out your bet early, you won't be eligible for the 2-ahead offer. Partially cashed-out bets will still be eligible on the remaining active stake.
