Southampton v Tottenham Price Boost – William Hill

It’s Southampton v Tottenham in the Premier League today and you don’t want to miss this William Hill price boost! They’re enhancing Harry Kane to score first from 5/2 to a tasty 4/1. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a risk-free potential profit of £8.41 and here’s how…

Price Boost bet:

This price boost will be available for a limited time only from 14:00 on Sunday 21st January 2018!

The maximum stake for this price boost is likely to be £10.00.

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 underlay our bet using the ‘First Goalscorer‘ market on the Betfair Exchange to make this offer risk-free.

We can calculate our underlay stake using my matched betting calculator. We just need to open up the ‘SHOW ADVANCED’ section and click the ‘UNDERLAY’ tab…

Place £10.00 on Harry Kane to score first @ 5.00 = Potential profit of £40.00

betfair

Lay £10.53 on Harry Kane First Goalscorer @ 4.00 = Potential liability of £31.59

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

Kane scores first + £40.00 – £31.59 = £8.41 profit
Kane doesn’t score first – £10.00 + £10.00 (£10.53 minus 5% commission) = £0.00

So, if Harry Kane doesn’t score first, we’ll break even and there’s no harm done. However, if Harry Kane does score first, we’ll make a nice risk-free profit of £8.41 on this William Hill price boost!

* The first goal was an own goal, which is ignored for First Goalscorer settlement purposes. Harry Kane scored the second goal of the game, resulting in a profit of £8.41 on this William Hill price boost. *
