William Hill Price Boost – Arsenal v Chelsea

The Community Shield 2017/18 takes place at Wembley today and you don’t want to miss this William Hill price boost! They’re enhancing both teams to score in 90 minutes from 6/10 to Evens! Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a risk-free potential profit of £5.72 and here’s how…

Price Boost:

This price boost will be available from 12:00 on Sunday 6th August 2017 for a limited time only!

The maximum stake for this price boost is £20.00.

We can underlay our bet at Smarkets to make this risk-free. 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 underlay stake using my matched betting calculator. We just need to open up the ‘SHOW ADVANCED’ section and click the ‘UNDERLAY’ tab…

As you can see, the calculator tells us that our underlay stake should be £20.41…

Place £20.00 on ‘Both Teams To Score’ @ 2.00 = Potential profit of £20.00

Lay £20.41 on ‘Both Teams Score – Yes’ @ 1.70 = Potential liability of £14.28

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

Both teams score + £20.00 – £14.28 = £5.72 profit
Someone keeps a clean sheet – £20.00 + £20.00 (£20.41 minus 2% commission) = £0.00

So, if either team keeps a clean sheet, we’ll break even and there’s no harm done. However, if both teams score, we’ll make a nice risk-free profit of £5.72 on this William Hill price boost!
