The ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 gets underway on Thursday and you don’t want to miss this William Hill offer! Simply bet £10.00 on the Top Tournament Batsman market and William Hill will give us a £5.00 free bet every time they score a century. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential profit of £15.81 and here’s how…
Key Terms:
- Qualifying bets must be placed between 00:01 on Monday 13th May 2019 and 10:30 (first ball) on Thursday 30th May 2019.
- We must place a £10.00 Win or £5.00 Each Way bet on the Top Tournament Batsman market for the ICC World Cup 2019.
- We’ll receive a £5.00 free bet every time our selected player scores a century.
Qualifying Bet:
If you’re unfamiliar with qualifying bets, please see my Qualifying Bet Strategy page for a walk-through guide on how it should be done.
It’s entirely up to you who you place your qualifying bet on. Having looked at the odds available, we could place our qualifying bet on David Warner (Australia).
At the time of writing, laying our bet at Smarkets gives us the smallest qualifying loss.
We can calculate our lay stake using my matched betting calculator…
As you can see, the calculator tells us that our lay stake should be £10.02…
Place £10.00 on David Warner @ 13.00 = Potential profit of £120.00
Lay £10.02 on David Warner @ 13.00 = Potential liability of £120.24
Outcomes:
Let’s have a look at our potential profit/loss for the possible outcomes…
| Outcome | Bookie | Exchange | Profit/Loss |
|---|---|---|---|
| David Warner wins | +£120.00 | -£120.24 | £0.24 loss |
| David Warner doesn’t win | -£10.00 | +£9.81 | £0.19 loss |
So, regardless of the outcome, we’ll lose a maximum of £0.24 in qualifying for our potential free bets.
Free Bets:
We’ll receive a £5.00 free bet every time our player scores a century. For those of you that aren’t familiar with scoring in cricket, a century is scored when a batsman makes 100 runs or more.
Scoring a century is no easy feat, so we shouldn’t expect any player to score one in every match. If David Warner can match Kumar Sangakkara’s tally of four centuries at the 2015 World Cup, we’ll receive £20.00 in free bets.
Free bets will be credited by 12:00 the following day and will be valid for 4 days. Free bet stakes will not be included in any returns.
By using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to extract 80% cash from our £20.00 in free bets, so £16.00. If we take into account our minimum qualifying loss of £0.19, this gives us a potential profit of £15.81 on this William Hill offer!
* David Warner finished 2nd in the Top Batsmen standings, having made 3 centuries during the tournament, resulting in a profit of £11.81 on this William Hill offer. *
