Qualifying Bet and Strategy
For this offer we will simply back and lay our selection while taking the lowest qualifying loss possible. It is a very simple offer to take advantage of but we will only make a profit if our selection places second, third or fourth. For this offer we have opted to place our qualifying bet on Gunmetal at odds of 11.0. Of course it up to you which horse you choose for this promotion and is subject to available odds.
Let’s take a look on the matched betting calculator to see what out qualifying loss will be:
Adjust Lay
| Bookmaker | Exchange | Cashback | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| If Back Wins | ||||
| If Lay Wins |
As we can see our £20.00 back bet at odds of 11.0 and lay odds of 11.5 will result in a small loss of £1.22 whether Gunmetal wins or loses. However if Gunmetal places second, third or fourth we stand to make a tasty profit. Remember the refund is in cash so we don’t need to worry about extracting any profit from a free bet.
| Outcome | Sky Bet | Exchange | Cashback | Profit/Loss |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gunmetal wins | +£200.00 | -£201.18 | £0.00 | -£1.18 |
| Gunmetal loses | -£20.00 | +£18.78 | £0.00 | -£1.22 |
| Gunmetal places 2nd/3rd/4th | -£20.00 | +£18.78 | +£20.00 | +£18.78 |
If Gunmetal finishes second, third or fourth we shall make a tidy profit of £18.78. If however Gunmetal wins or loses outside of the required places we stand to make a small loss of £1.22. Cash refunds will be credited to your account within 24 hours – the bet receipt will simply be voided and your stake returned back to your cash balance.
