After days of build up, the Cheltenham Festival 2018 finally gets underway this afternoon and if their recent boosts are anything to go by, you don’t want to miss these William Hill flash odds! William Hill will be giving us four Flash Odds boosts each day of the Festival between 12:00 and 13:00! Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us an overall potential profit of £50.00+ and here’s how…
Flash Odds Boosts:
William Hill will be running four Flash Odds boosts between 12:00 and 13:00 each day, with each boost being available for 15 minutes. The maximum stake for each boost is £10.00.
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.
We won’t know what the Flash Odds are until William Hill announce them, but I’ll use Footpad (14:10 Cheltenham) in the following example to give you an idea of how these boosts should be done.
I like to place my exchange lay bets with Betfair as they have great liquidity in the run up to races and the site is really easy to use.
We can calculate our lay stakes using my matched betting calculator…
As you can see, the calculator tells us that our lay stake should be £25.91.
Don’t forget, you can use the slider to adjust your lay stake and your profit figures if you so wish.
Place £20.00 on Footpad @ 2.50 = Potential profit of £30.00
Lay £25.91 on Footpad @ 1.98 = Potential liability of £25.39
Let’s have a look at our potential profit/loss for the possible outcomes…
| Footpad wins | + £30.00 – £25.39 = £4.61 profit |
| Footpad doesn’t win | – £20.00 + £24.61 (£25.91 minus 5% commission) = £4.61 profit |
So, regardless of the outcome, we’ll make a guaranteed profit of £4.61 on this William Hill Flash Odds boost.
I’ll update the following table throughout the week with details of each boost and the profit available…
