William Hill Price Boost – Chelsea v Arsenal

Arsenal are the visitors to Stamford Bridge tonight and you don’t want to miss this William Hill price boost. They’re enhancing ‘Over 3 goals in the match’ from 7/4 to a tasty 3/1! Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £5.93 and here’s how…

Price Boost Bet:

This price boost will be available for a limited time only from 18:00 on Wednesday 10th January 2018!

The maximum stake for this price boost is £20.00.

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

We can lay our bet using the ‘Over/Under 3.5 Goals‘ market on the Betfair Exchange.

We can calculate our lay stake using my matched betting calculator….

As you can see, the calculator tells us that our lay stake should be £27.30…

Place £20.00 on Over 3 goals in the match @ 4.00 = Potential profit of £60.00

betfair

Lay £27.30 on ‘Over 3.5 Goals’ @ 2.98 = Potential liability of £54.05

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

4 or more goals + £60.00 – £54.05 = £5.95 profit
3 or less goals – £20.00 + £25.93 (£27.30 minus 5% commission) = £5.93 profit

So, regardless of the outcome, we’ll make a guaranteed profit of £5.93 on this William Hill price boost!

* The maximum stake was actually £20.00 as opposed to the expected maximum of £10.00. This meant that locking in a guaranteed profit was the better option. The match was drawn 0-0, resulting in a profit of £5.93 on this William Hill offer. *
