Rugby World Cup 2019 Offer – William Hill

The Rugby World Cup 2019 gets underway on Friday and you don’t want to miss this William Hill ‘Bet £10, Get £5’ offer! Simply bet £10.00 on any Rugby World Cup market and William Hill will give us a £5.00 free bet to use on the tournament. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £3.53 and here’s how…

Key Terms:

  • We must place a £10.00 win or £5.00 each way bet at odds of 1.50 (1/2) or greater.
  • Qualifying bets can be placed on any pre-match Rugby World Cup 2019 market.
  • We must place our bet between 00:01 on Tuesday 3rd September 2019 and 11:45 (event starts) on Friday 20th September 2019.

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.

It’s entirely up to you what you place your qualifying bet on. Having looked at the odds available for France v Argentina, we could place our qualifying bet on Argentina in the 80 Minutes market.

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 £9.73…

Place £10.00 on Argentina @ 2.20 = Potential profit of £12.00

Smarkets logo

Lay £9.73 on Argentina @ 2.28 = Potential liability of £12.45

Outcomes:

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

Outcome Bookie Exchange Profit/Loss
Argentina win +£12.00 -£12.45 £0.45 loss
Argentina don’t win -£10.00 +£9.53 £0.47 loss

So, regardless of the outcome, we’ll lose a maximum of £0.47 in qualifying for our £5.00 free bet.

Free Bet:

Our £5.00 free bet will be credited by 15:00 on Friday 20th September 2019 and will be valid for 4 days on any Rugby World Cup market. Free bet stakes will not be included in any returns.

By using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to extract 80% cash from our £5.00 free bet, so £4.00. If we take into account our maximum qualifying loss of £0.47, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £3.53 on this William Hill offer!

* France beat Argentina 23-21, resulting in a profit of £3.53 on this William Hill offer. *
