Burnley v Man City – William Hill Price Boost

It’s Burnley v Man City in Saturday’s early kick-off and you don’t want to miss this William Hill price boost. They’re enhancing Man City to win by 3 or more goals from 2/1 to a tasty 7/2! Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a risk-free potential profit of £8.15 and here’s how…

Price Boost Bet:

This price boost will be available for a limited time only from 10:30 on Saturday 3rd February 2018!

The maximum stake for this price boost is likely to be £10.00.

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 underlay ‘Man City -2‘ to make this offer risk-free. We can find that selection in the ‘Burnley +2‘ handicap market. ‘Man City -2‘ effectively means betting on Man City to win with them starting on -2 goals. So, in other words, to win by 3 or more goals.

We can calculate our underlay stake using my matched betting calculator. We just need to open up the ‘SHOW ADVANCED’ section and click the ‘UNDERLAY’ tab…

Place £10.00 on Man City to win by 3 or more goals @ 4.50 = Potential profit of £35.00

betfair

Lay £10.53 on ‘Man City -2’ @ 3.55 = Potential liability of £26.85

Let’s have a look at our profit/loss for the two potential outcomes…

Man City win by 3 or more goals + £35.00 – £26.85 = £8.15 profit
Man City don’t win by 3 or more goals – £10.00 + £10.00 (£10.53 minus 5% commission) = £0.00

So, if Man City don’t win by 3 or more goals, we’ll break even and there’s no harm done. However, if Man City do win by 3 or more goals, we’ll make a nice risk-free profit of £8.15 on this William Hill price boost!

* The match was drawn 1-1, resulting in break even on this William Hill price boost. *
