Real Madrid v Liverpool Offer – William Hill

It’s Real Madrid v Liverpool in the Champions League Final 2018 on Saturday and you don’t want to miss this William Hill ‘Bet £10, Get £5’ offer! Place a bet of £10.00 or more on Real Madrid v Liverpool and William Hill will give us a £5.00 free bet to use on the World Cup 2018. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £3.25 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 Sunday 20th May 2018 and the final whistle of Real Madrid v Liverpool, to be eligible. The match is due to finish at around 21:30 on Saturday 26th May 2018.

Having looked at the odds available, we could place our qualifying bet on Liverpool 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 £10.00…

Place £10.00 on Liverpool @ 3.20 = Potential profit of £22.00

Betfair logo

Lay £10.00 on Liverpool @ 3.25 = Potential liability of £22.50

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

Liverpool win + £22.00 – £22.50 = £0.50 loss
Liverpool don’t win – £10.00 + £9.50 (£10.00 minus 5% commission) = £0.50 loss

So, regardless of the result of the match, we’ll lose £0.50 in qualifying for our £5.00 free bet.

Free Bet:

Our £5.00 free bet will be credited by 09:00 on Thursday 14th June 2018 and can be used on any World Cup 2018 market played on or before 08:00 on Monday 18th June 2018.

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 £0.50, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £3.25 on this William Hill offer!
