William Hill In Play Offer – Derby v Man Utd

Derby County host Manchester United on Friday in the first of the weekend’s FA Cup 4th Round ties and there’s another William Hill in play offer up for grabs! Place a single bet of £20.00 or more in play on Derby v Man Utd and William Hill will give us a £10.00 free bet to be used in play on MK Dons v Chelsea on Sunday. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £6.30 and here’s how…

Qualifying Bet:

If you’re unfamiliar with qualifying bets, please see my Qualifying Bet Strategy page for a walk-through guide on how they should be done.

It’s entirely up to you what you place your qualifying bet on, as long as you place it in play at minimum odds of 1.50 (1/2) or above.

I like to place my exchange lay bets with Smarkets as they have great liquidity, the site is really easy to use and they only charge 2% commission in comparison to the 5% charged by other betting exchanges.

We can calculate our lay stakes using the matched betting calculator.

Aim to lose no more than £1.20 on your qualifying bet

Free Bet:

Our free bet will be credited by half-time of the MK Dons v Chelsea match (16:00 Sunday 31st January 2016) and must be used by full-time. It’s impossible to know what odds will be available until the match is in progress but by using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to extract 75% out of the £10.00 free bet as cash, so £7.50. If we take into account our qualifying loss of £1.20, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £6.30!

Just like placing an in play qualifying bet, extracting profit from our free bet can be a little tricky when betting in play. My advice is to get it on at half-time. This is simply because the odds don’t fluctuate as much as when the game is live. There’s nothing worse than placing a free bet on a market and then something happens in the game that changes the odds before you have chance to get your lay bet on! I tend to look at the correct score markets first and then if I can’t find anything suitable I move onto goal scorer markets.

If you’re not sure how to extract 75% of the £10.00 free in-play bet, please see my Free Bet Strategy page for a walk-through guide on how it should be done.
