Place £10.00 on Portugal @ 2.35 = Potential profit of £13.50

Lay £9.55 on Portugal @ 2.48 = Potential liability of £14.13

Outcomes:

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

Outcome Bookie Exchange Profit/Loss
Portugal win +£13.50 -£14.13 £0.63 loss
Portugal don’t win -£10.00 +£9.35 £0.65 loss

So, regardless of the outcome, we’ll lose a maximum of £0.65 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 on any market for 4 days. 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 £0.65, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £3.35 on this William Hill offer!

* Portugal won the match 1-0, resulting in a profit of £3.37 on this William Hill offer. *
