Important things you should know
The game is played online and you must be aged 18 or over and based in the UK or ROI.
The maximum prize pool to be paid out in any game round is £1 million. If the value of prizes won in game round is more than the prize pool, then free bets will be split proportionately between players.
If the prize pool for Free or 4 exceeds £1m, then the prize pool is split prioritising the biggest pool of winners (the lowest prize).
- There’s an example in the table below:
If 50,000 customers predict four scores correctly, all customers receive a £1 free bet. This is the equivalent of £50,000, so £950,000 remains in the prize pool for the other winners. |
If 25,000 customers predict five scores correctly, all customers receive a £5 free bet. This is the equivalent of £125,000, so £825,000 remains in the prize pool for the other winners. |
If 10,000 customers predict six scores correctly, all customers receive an equal share of the remaining £825,000 in the prize pool, in free bets. This amounts to £82.50 per customer. |

Handy hints for Free or 4 success
Free or 4 is a goal statistics game. Picking 6 matches out of the list with exactly 3 or 4 goals is not as easy as it seems.
A typical price for exactly 3 goals in a game is approximately 3/1.
A typical price for exactly 4 goals in a game is approximately 5/1.
This means you have roughly a 35% chance of picking a fixture with exactly 3 or 4 goals in it.
Here are some Free or 4 handy hints to help you make you pick.
💡PLAY FREE OR 4 YOUR OWN WAY
You watch the team’s play the games and have your own ideas, simply select 6 games where you think there will be exactly 3 or 4 goals in the match (excludes extra time and penalties).
💡USE BOOKMAKER ODDS TO HELP YOU
A typical price for exactly 3 goals in a game is approximately 3/1.
A typical price for exactly 4 goals in a game is approximately 5/1.
If the odds are less than these, then bookmakers think there is a greater chance of there being exactly 3 or 4 goals scored in that game.
Use the betting market “Total Match Goals” at William Hill to help you here.
💡USE ODDSCHECKER
Use sites such as oddschecker.com to highlight any market movements in this match on this market.
The market on oddschecker.com has a slightly different name, “Total Goals Exact” to that shown at William Hill. They are the same market.
If a price is highlighted ‘blue’ it means the odds are shortening, if the price is highlighted ‘red’ the odds are lengthening. You’re looking for blue on both the exactly 3 and 4 options.
💡USE HISTORICAL DATA TO HELP YOU
William Hill Free or 4 is a fun game, designed to engage with new and existing players.
We would focus on the last 10 matches of each team, as managers and players change. Key players can also be injured.
Checking out how many goals a team scores and concedes is by no means fool proof. You can work out a rough and ready average goals per game for each team, which can help your knowledge to play this game.
This method can be a lot of fun for some players. There’s nothing better than winning a prize based on your own hard work and opinion!
