Southampton v Man Utd Offer – William Hill

It’s Southampton v Man Utd in Saturday’s late kick-off and you don’t want to miss this ‘Bet £10, Get £5’ offer from William Hill! Simply bet £10.00 on Southampton v Man Utd and William Hill will give us a £5.00 free bet to use on any sport. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £3.35 and here’s how…

Key Terms:

  • We must click ‘Claim here‘ on the promotion page to receive our free bet.
  • Qualifying bets must be placed between 00:00 and the final whistle of Southampton v Man Utd on Saturday 1st December 2018
  • We must stake £10.00 at odds of 1.20 (1/5) or greater.
  • Qualifying bets can be placed pre-match or in play.

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 Utd 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…

As you can see, the calculator tells us that our lay stake should be £9.55…

Place £10.00 on Man Utd @ 1.909 = Potential profit of £9.09

Smarkets logo

Lay £9.55 on Man Utd @ 2.02 = Potential liability of £9.74

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

Man Utd win + £9.09 – £9.74 = £0.65 loss
Man Utd don’t win – £10.00 + £9.35 (£9.55 minus 2% commission) = £0.65 loss

So, regardless of the outcome, we’ll lose £0.65 in qualifying for our £5.00 free bet.

Free Bet:

Our £5.00 free bet should be credited no later than 10:00 on Sunday 2nd December 2018 and will be valid for 4 days. Free bet stakes will not be 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 qualifying loss of £0.65, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £3.35 on this William Hill offer!

* The match was drawn 2-2, resulting in a profit of £3.35 on this William Hill offer. *
