The stakes are on at Newbury today and the Paddy Power Money Back Special is not to be missed!

With simple matched betting, this gives us a potential profit of £7.07!

Terms of the offer

  • Up to £10.00 refund as a free bet.
  • Refund will trigger on any horse that finishes second, third or fourth.
  • 7 or more runners must take part or this promotion will not apply.

Qualifying Bet and Strategy

We will treat this bet a simple Bet X Get X offer. All we need to do is back and lay a qualifying bet and extract our profit from the £10.00 free bet should our selection finish second, third or fourth. As usual we will be finding a close match to place our qualifying bet on. We should aim to lose no more than £1.00 on our qualifying loss. We have opted to place our qualifying bet on Oldgrangewood at odds of 8.5.
