Christmas came early with the news of this William Hill in play offer for December. Simply place a single bet of £20.00 or more pre-match on any matches involving Premier League teams being shown live on Sky Sports or BT Sports and William Hill will give us a £10.00 free bet to be used in-play on that match. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £31.50 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 they should be done.
This weekend’s eligible matches are as follows…
| Match | Kick-Off | Date |
|---|---|---|
| Norwich City v Everton | 12:45 | Saturday 12th December 2015 |
| Bournemouth v Manchester United | 17:30 | Saturday 12th December 2015 |
| Aston Villa v Arsenal | 13:30 | Sunday 13th December 2015 |
| Tottenham v Newcastle United | 16:00 | Sunday 13th December 2015 |
| Leicester City v Chelsea | 20:00 | Monday 14th December 2015 |
It’s entirely up to you what you place your qualifying bets on, as long as you place them at the minimum odds of 1.50 (1/2) or above.
I like to place my exchange lay bets with Smarkets as they have great liquidity, the site is really easy to use and they only charge 2% commission in comparison to the 5% charged by other betting exchanges.
We can calculate our lay stakes using the matched betting calculator.
Aim to lose no more than £1.20 on each of your qualifying bets
So we will lose approximately £6.00 in qualifying for our 5 x £10.00 in-play free bets.
Free Bet:
Our free bets will be credited by half-time of each match and must be used by full-time. It’s impossible to know what odds will be available until the matches are in progress but by using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to extract 75% out of the 5 x £10.00 free bets as cash, so £37.50. If we take into account our qualifying loss of £6.00, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £31.50!
Extracting profit from our free bets can be a little tricky when betting in-play. My advice is to get them on at half-time. This is simply because the odds don’t fluctuate as much as when the game is live. There’s nothing worse than placing a free bet on a market and then something happens in the game that changes the odds before you have chance to get your lay bet on! I tend to look at the correct score markets first and then if I can’t find anything suitable I move onto goal scorer markets.
If you’re not sure how to extract 75% of the 5 x £10.00 free in-play bets, please see my Free Bet Strategy page for a walk-through guide on how it should be done.
