William Hill Price Boost – Chelsea & Man City

There’s a big day of FA Cup 4th Round action to look forward to and you don’t want to miss this William Hill price boost. They’re enhancing Chelsea and Man City both to win by two or more goals from 11/4 to a tasty 9/2! Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a risk-free potential profit of £13.33 and here’s how…

Price Boost Bet:

This price boost will be available for a limited time only from 11:00 on Sunday 28th January 2018!

The maximum stake for this price boost is £10.00.

Place £10.00 on Chelsea & Man City both to win by 2+ goals @ 5.50 = Potential profit of £45.00

As both matches kick-off at different times and don’t overlap, we can lay each leg sequentially for a risk-free potential profit.

We start by placing a lay bet on ‘Chelsea -1‘ in Chelsea v Newcastle. We can find that selection in the ‘Newcastle +1‘ handicap market. ‘Chelsea -1‘ effectively means betting on Chelsea to win with them starting on -1 goal. So, in other words, to win by two or more goals.

If Chelsea don’t win by two or more goals, our price boost bet has lost and we’ve broken even. If they do win by two or more goals, we can then place our next lay bet on ‘Man City -1‘ in Cardiff v Man City. When laying sequentially, we continue placing our lay bets so long as our price boost legs keep winning.

We can calculate our lay stakes using my Sequential Lay Calculator

Match 1: Chelsea v Newcastle (Kick-Off: 13:30)

I like to place my exchange lay bets with Betfair as they have great liquidity and the site is really easy to use.

Lay £10.53 on ‘Chelsea -1’ @ 2.40 = Potential liability of £14.74

If Chelsea win by 2+ goals – £14.74 = – £14.74
If Chelsea don’t win by 2+ goals – £10.00 + £10.00 = £0.00

So, if Chelsea don’t win by two or more goals, the offer will be over and we’ll have broken even. However, if they do win by two or more goals, we’ll have lost £14.74 so far.

Match 2: Cardiff v Man City (Kick-Off: 16:00)

Lay £26.05 on ‘Man City -1’ @ 1.65 = Potential liability of £16.93

If Man City win by 2+ goals + £45.00 – £14.74 – £16.93 = £13.33 profit
If Man City don’t win by 2+ goals – £10.00 – £14.74 + £24.74 = £0.00

So, if either team fails to win by two or more goals along the way, we’ll have broken even and there’s no harm done. However, if both teams win by two or more goals, we’ll have made a nice risk-free profit of £13.33!

I’d like to point out that the above workings are based on the lay odds that were available at the time of writing. If the lay odds fluctuate before we are able to place our lay bets, this may result in us making more potential profit, less potential or even a slight loss, so please bear that in mind before deciding whether or not to do this offer.

* Chelsea won 3-0 and Man City won 2-0, resulting in a profit of £13.33 on this William Hill price boost. *
