Manchester United travel to Watford in the early kick-off on Saturday and William Hill are enhancing them from 10/11 to 2/1 for a limited time only. The offer goes live at 12:00 on Saturday 21st November 2015 and there’s a maximum stake of £10.00. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £4.13 and here’s how…

Lay £14.42 on Man Utd @ 2.10 = Potential liability of £15.87

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

Man Utd win +£20.00 – £15.87 = £4.13 profit
Man Utd don’t win -£10.00 + £14.13 (£14.42 minus 2% commission) = £4.13 profit

So regardless of the result of the match, we will make a guaranteed profit of £4.13 on this William Hill price boost.
