Simply place a bet on Wolves or Man Utd to win the match and if our selected team scores first, William Hill will pay us out as a winner, up to £25.00 in cash, no matter what happens! Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential profit of £42.85 and here’s how…

- Estimated profit over £25 – If we stake £25 at odds of 3.50 (5/2), we’ll receive £35 in cash (£25 maximum winnings, plus the £10 of our stake that contributed to those winnings).
Qualifying Bet:
If you’re unfamiliar with qualifying bets, please see my Qualifying Bet Strategy page for a walk-through guide on how it should be done.
Having looked at the odds available, we could place our qualifying bet on Man Utd in the 90 Minutes market.
If Man Utd score first and go on to draw or lose the match, our winnings will be paid in cash, up to a maximum of £25.00.
To calculate our back stake, we just need to divide £25.00 by 1.30 (back odds minus 1.00), which gives us £19.23. It’s best that we stick to round numbers when placing our qualifying bet, so we should stake £20.00 instead.
At the time of writing, laying our bet at Smarkets gives us the smallest qualifying loss.
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 £19.01…
Place £20.00 on Man Utd @ 2.30 = Potential profit of £26.00
Lay £19.01 on Man Utd @ 2.44 = Potential liability of £27.37
Outcomes:
Let’s have a look at our potential profit/loss for the possible outcomes…
Outcome | Bookie | Exchange | Profit/Loss |
---|---|---|---|
Man Utd score first and win | +£26.00 | -£27.37 | £1.37 loss |
Man Utd score first and don’t win | +£24.23 | +£18.62 | £42.85 profit |
Man Utd don’t score first and win | +£26.00 | -£27.37 | £1.37 loss |
Man Utd don’t score first and don’t win | -£20.00 | +£18.62 | £1.38 loss |
So, if Man Utd score first and go on to draw or lose the game, we’ll receive cash winnings of £25.00, plus the £19.23 of our stake that contributed to those winnings, giving us a profit of £24.23 at William Hill. We’ll also win £18.62 from our lay bet at Smarkets, giving us an overall potential profit of £42.85!
Any other outcome and we’ll lose a maximum of £1.38. Risking £1.38 to make a profit of £42.85, gives us effective odds of 32.05, which I’m sure you’ll agree, makes this a profitable offer in the long run.
If eligible, our cash winnings will be credited within 3 hours of the match finishing or by no later than 12:00 on Tuesday 20th August 2019.
Note: If your team scores first, you can either let it run as above or place an extra back bet on them to lock in a profit. If you decide to guarantee a profit, you just need to divide the sum of your potential loss and potential profit by the back odds. For example, if the back odds are 1.50 (1/2), you would divide £44.22 (£1.37 + £42.85) by 1.50, giving you a back stake of £29.48 and a guaranteed profit of £13.37.
* Man Utd scored first and went on to draw the match 1-1, resulting in a profit of £42.85 on this William Hill offer. *

Guest userI don’t understand this. I put £25 on Man U at 2.45. I was returned £42.26. I was expecting more. Does this appear correct?

44You get back £25 plus your proportion of stake needed to win this amount (£17.26).

2Now I understood it as the full stake back plus a max of £25 winnings. One to watch out for then !
Fordy
44b) If your potential profit on the bet is over £25, you will receive the max £25 winnings, but only the proportion of your stake that went towards the winnings (See examples in Significant Conditions).
Estimated Profit over £25 – If you stake £25 at 5/2, you will receive £35 as a Golden Goal cash amount (£25 maximum winnings and £10 of your stake that qualified towards those winnings).

Guest userI’m 3/4 for this at the start of the season, can’t argue with that!
I had £20 on Man Utd at 2.45 and got £42.24 returned. Not sure if it’s correct, don’t really care. Lets just hope we keep getting winners.
