It’s Arsenal v Atletico Madrid in the Europa League Semi-Finals tonight and you don’t want to miss this William Hill ‘Bet £5, Get £5’ offer! Place a bet of £5.00 or more on Arsenal v Atletico Madrid and William Hill will give us a £5.00 free bet for the weekend. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £3.41 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 it should be done.
Qualifying bets must be placed at odds of 1.50 (1/2) or greater between 09:00 on Wednesday 25th April 2018 and the final whistle (approximately 22:00 on Thursday 26th April 2018), to be eligible.
Having looked at the odds available, we could place our qualifying bet on Arsenal in the 90 Minutes market.
I like to place my exchange lay bets with Betfair as they have great liquidity and the site is really easy to use.
We can calculate our lay stakes using my matched betting calculator…
As you can see, the calculator tells us that our lay stake should be £4.91…
Place £5.00 on Arsenal @ 2.60 = Potential profit of £8.00
Lay £4.91 on Arsenal @ 2.70 = Potential liability of £8.34
Let’s have a look at our potential profit/loss for the possible outcomes…
Arsenal win | + £8.00 – £8.34 = £0.34 loss |
Arsenal don’t win | – £5.00 + £4.66 (£4.91 minus 5% commission) = £0.34 loss |
So, regardless of the result of the match, we’ll lose £0.34 in qualifying for our £5.00 free bet.
Free Bet:
Our £5.00 free bet will be credited by 12:00 on Friday 27th April 2018 and will be valid on football markets for 4 days.
By using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to extract 75% cash from the £5.00 free bet, so £3.75. If we take into account our qualifying loss of £0.34, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £3.41 on this William Hill offer!
* The match was drawn 1-1, resulting in a profit of £3.41 on this William Hill offer. *
