William Hill – Chelsea v Liverpool Offer

It’s Chelsea v Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday, and William Hill are getting in on the action! Place a £1.00+ Build #YourOdds bet on Chelsea v Liverpool and William Hill will match our stake as a free bet up to £5.00. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a profit of £3.17 and here’s how…

Key terms

  • The promotion runs from 09:00 on Friday 31st December 2021 until 16:30 (kick-off) on Sunday 2nd January 2022.
  • We must click ‘Claim here’ on the promotion page to be eligible.
  • Applies to Build #YourOdds bets placed on Chelsea v Liverpool.
  • Minimum stake of £1.00.
  • Minimum odds of 1.20 (1/5).
  • Matched free bet up to £5.00.

Qualifying bet

It’s entirely up to you how you play this offer.

We could take a speculative approach and not lay our Build #YourOdds bet. If our bet loses, we know that by using straightforward matched betting, we should convert our £5.00 free bet into 80% cash, so £4.00. That means the most we can lose on this offer is £1.00 and we could make a nice profit.

We can lock in a fixed profit if we lay our qualifying bet.

So, looking at the selections available, we could place our qualifying bet on Result – Chelsea / Total Goals – Over 2.5 at back odds of 3.90 (29/10). The lay odds are currently 4.60.

Either exchange works for this offer

Betfair and Smarkets are both great options for this offer. If you’ve not used one of them, now is a great time to give them a try.

  • Money back as cash up to £20
