Man City v Arsenal Offer – William Hill

It’s Man City v Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday and you don’t want to miss this William Hill Scratch of the Day offer! Place a £10.00 bet on Man City v Arsenal and William Hill will give us a £5.00 free bet to use on the NFL. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £3.49 and here’s how…

Key Terms:

  • We must scratch on the Promotion page to reveal the offer.
  • We must click ‘Claim here‘ once the offer has been revealed.
  • We must bet £10.00 on Man City v Arsenal between 00:00:01 and 18:14:59 on Sunday 3rd February 2019.
  • Qualifying bet must be placed at odds of 1.20 (1/5) or greater.

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 Man City in the 90 Minutes market.

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…

Place £10.00 on Man City @ 1.25 = Potential profit of £2.50

Smarkets logo

Lay £9.69 on Man City @ 1.31 = Potential liability of £3.00

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

Outcome Bookie Exchange Profit/Loss
Man City win +£2.50 -£3.00 £0.50 loss
Man City don’t win -£10.00 +£9.49 £0.51 loss

So, regardless of the outcome, we’ll lose a maximum of £0.51 in qualifying for our £5.00 free bet.

Free Bet:

Our £5.00 free bet will be credited upon placement of our qualifying bet and will be valid for 4 days on any NFL market. We should place our free bet on the Super Bowl 2019 which kicks off at 23:30 on Sunday 3rd February 2019. Free bet stakes are not included in any returns.

By using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to extract 80% cash from our £5.00 free bet, so £4.00. If we take into account our maximum qualifying loss of £0.51, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £3.49 on this William Hill offer!

* Man City won the match 3-1, resulting in a profit of £3.50 on this William Hill offer. *
