This at least gives you a chance of a double dip. If for example you back Manchester United to recover your stake you are in a claret or blue situation, as big Ron might have said, you win on either option but you can't win on both.
However, if you lay Villa in the ninety minutes market and they win in extra time you collect both the day of the event bet and the ante-post play. The smart cover position guarantees one payment and provides the opportunity of two, backing United is just a one trick pony.
