Step by Step Guide
Dan's overview
Optional·3 min read
William Hill's welcome bonus earns you around £22 in locked-in profit. You put £10 into William Hill and place one qualifying bet (costs roughly 40p). They give you 3 × £10 free bets which convert to about £22 in real cash.
You need about £150 total across your accounts, but none of that money is spent. It just moves between your accounts to cover both sides of the bet.
It takes about 25 minutes of actual work, spread over a couple of days. Once William Hill's done, your exchange balance is ready for the next offer.
When you place a bet on William Hill, you also place an opposite bet on Smarkets to cancel it out. If William Hill's bet wins, Smarkets needs to pay the difference, and the £140.00 is there to cover that worst case.
You won't lose this money. It just needs to be in your Smarkets account while the bet settles. After the match, the unused balance is yours again.
