There’s an action packed day of racing at Doncaster this Saturday and Sky Bet has got us covered in the first race of the day. Simply place a bet on any horse in the 13:50 at Doncaster and should our selection come second, third or fourth, Sky Bet will refund our stake back as cash! This means we have a potential profit of £9.64!

Terms of the offer

  • Up to £10.00 refund as a cash.
  • Refund will trigger on any horse that places second.
  • Qualifying bets must be placed between 14:00 Friday 28th February 2020 and 13:50 (start time) Saturday 29th February 2020.

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. For this offer we have opted to place our qualifying bet on Geordie B at odds of 5.0. 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:

As we can see our £10.00 back bet at odds of 5.0 and lay odds of 5.1 will result in a small loss of £0.36 whether Geordie B wins or loses. However if Geordie B 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
Geordie B wins +£40.00 -£40.34 £0.00 -£0.34
Geordie B loses -£10.00 +£9.64 £0.00 -£0.36
Geordie B places 2nd/3rd/4th -£10.00 +£9.64 +£10.00 +£9.64

If Geordie B finishes second, third or fourth we shall make a tidy profit of £9.46. If however Geordie B wins or loses outside of the required place we stand to make a small loss of £0.36. 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.
