Liverpool v Man City Offer – William Hill

It’s Liverpool v Man City in the 2019 FA Community Shield on Sunday and you don’t want to miss this Golden Goal offer from William Hill! Simply place a bet on Liverpool or Man City to win the match and if our selected team scores first, but doesn’t go on to win, William Hill will pay us out as a winner, in cash, up to £25.00! Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential profit of £32.98 and here’s how…

Key Terms:

• Promotion available on selected matches from 00:01 on 5th January 2019 until 23:59 on 1st June 2020.
• Qualifying Single bets must be placed on the 90 Minutes market for Liverpool v Man City.
• Qualifying bets must be placed before 15:00 (kick-off) on Sunday 4th August 2019.

Golden Goal Winnings:

Golden Goal winnings will be paid as cash, up to a maximum of £25.00 (plus our stake, or the proportion of our stake that contributed to those winnings).

• If we stake £50 at odds of 1.50 (1/2), we’ll receive £75 in cash (£25 winnings, plus our £50 stake)
• If we stake £50 at odds of 2.00 (evens), we’ll receive £50 in cash (£25 max. winnings, plus the £25 of our stake that contributed to those winnings)
• If we stake £50 at odds of 3.50 (5/2), we’ll receive £35 in cash (£25 max. winnings, plus the £10 of our stake that contributed to those winnings)

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.

Having looked at the odds available, we could place our qualifying bet on Liverpool in the 90 Minutes market.

If Liverpool score first and go on to draw or lose the match, our winnings will be paid in cash, up to a maximum of £25.00.

To calculate our back stake, we just need to divide £25.00 by 2.90 (back odds minus 1.00), which gives us £8.62. It’s best that we stick to round numbers when placing our qualifying bet, so we should stake £10.00 instead.

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 £9.56…

Outcomes:

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

So, if Liverpool score first and go on to draw or lose the game, we’ll receive maximum cash winnings of £25.00, plus the £8.62 of our stake that contributed to those winnings, giving us a profit of £23.62 at William Hill. We’ll also win £9.36 from our lay bet at Smarkets, giving us an overall potential profit of £32.98!

Any other outcome and we’ll lose a maximum of £0.64. Risking £0.64 to make a profit of £32.98, gives us effective odds of 52.53, which I’m sure you’ll agree, makes this a profitable offer in the long run.

If eligible, our cash winnings will be credited within 3 hours of the match finishing or by no later than 12:00 on Monday 5th August 2019.

Note: If your team scores first, you can either let it run as above or place an extra back bet on them to lock in a profit. If you decide to guarantee a profit, you just need to divide the sum of your potential loss and potential profit by the back odds. For example, if the back odds are 1.80 (4/5), you would divide £33.61 (£0.63 + £32.98) by 1.80, giving you a back stake of £18.67 and a guaranteed profit of £14.31.

* Man City scored the first goal and went on to draw the match 1-1, resulting in a loss of £0.64 on this William Hill offer. *
