William Hill New Horse Racing Offer

Hi all. I’m fairly new to matched betting so still getting to grips how to play certain offers. My first thought was this looks good but not sure how to play it. Any advice??

HIGH 5
Our New Horse Racing Offer

One in three National Hunt (jumps) races were won by five or more lengths last season.

With that in mind, we give you our new racing offer – High 5. Place a bet on selected jumps meetings, and if a horse wins by 5 or more lengths…

» Back the winner and you’ll get a 25% bonus.
» Finish second and get money back as a free bet.

There’s a High 5 meeting every single day:
‣ Friday and Saturday – All jumps meetings.
‣ Sunday to Thursday – One selected meeting.
‣ All live Channel 4 races

It all starts this Friday, just in time for the top class racing at Cheltenham’s three day Open Meeting.

So if your horse romps home, or finishes behind a clear winner, we’ve got this jumps season covered.

Cheers @tony, that’s a handy list, might print that out and stick it on the wall for the afternoon – when there’s so many qualifying races with different offers across the bookies, it’s easy to lose track!

No worries, I need visual cues too (my spreadsheet) otherwise I lose track of what’s what and what’s next, especially on Saturdays… 🙂

Starting this offer tomorrow, my task today will be reading through this thread. Any of you lads who do it regularly/have done it – mind a quick sum up and a friendly advice? And what starting bank would you recommend, 200-300-400?

+0

Tony 12 February 20, 2017 at 7:09 pm

*Stick to favs/2nd favs

*The longer the race the better

*As close to the minimum needed 6 runners as possible

*Watch odds for 15 mins before race if you can – that is when you will get the closest match, often (n)arbs. Usually almost exactly 10 mins before the off Hill will increase the price in the fav to be more in line with the exchange. This can often be when the lay will shorten in the next 60-120 seconds

*Don’t accidentally try to do it on FLAT races (often the last race on the card can be a NH flat race)

*Be prepared to get annoyed by how many winners you have by 3.5-4.5 lengths!! ?

*Have plenty cash to top up your exchange float as you will inevitably back a lot of winners

Starting bank depend on what level of FB you are targetting. Personally I go £200+ on odds-on favs, £100 on anything from evens to 2/1… seeking at least a £25 FB for winning by 5L+

It all depends on the odds tbh, but it’s not uncommon to have £1k – £2k sloshing around in my Hills account. Has proved useful for the 4+ goals promo too 😉

In terms of QL I will not often accept anything more than £1 per £25 FB (hopefully) generated

My advice and experience thus far!

I tend to have hit this fast and hard (not gubbed yet), but been doing this everyday for 3-4 weeks (with the odd day off).

– I use large stakes on favs (sometimes £300-400 if odds are low, say 1.5)
– If an arb comes up I take it
– I have everything ready to go, i.e.. smarkets prices up and bets ready to go asap
– You can bet on 5+ lengths and MB 2nd (I am sure I have had both free bets from one race)
– I think you can do multiple bets on the same race (if you get the odds needed) to increase chances (again, I think this is the case).
– some days you won’t hit anything, just unlucky…. other days you can walk with £100 in free bets
– It is the best offer I have ever done, but I have £1000 in WH and £1000 in smarkets minimum with more firepower in the bank if needed.

Billy
– I think betting on favs/2nd favs give you a small advantage

No worries… it’s a great offer imho.

You might also consider throwing in a couple of mug a few bets on those races on the card that don’t qualify (5 runners or less). If you do that though, make sure you bet at the same stakes you normally would if the race was qualifying. Likewise a few mug bets on races at other (non-qualifying) meetings don’t seem to do any harm.

I am not one to advocate mug punting but it seems to have served me well here as many have been shut down doing this offer but I’m still going strong (touch wood!)

Might not have the balance in Paypal to do this one atm then, got 1450 in smarkets and 400 in Paypal… you reckon I shall move some to WH then?

Tony 12 February 20, 2017 at 7:44 pm

My advice would be to put £300 into Hills and have a crack using the strategy/stakes suggested above.

As I said, you will likely back plenty of winners (even if not hitting the bonus) to increase your balance over at Hills relatively quickly.

Tony 12 February 20, 2017 at 7:45 pm

Alternatively, stick £100 in Hills and trial it on lower stakes to start with. That might give you that chance to see what I mean about the odds movements happening like clockwork and to generally ‘get used’ to the offer
