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 or third. For this offer we have opted to place our qualifying bet on Valhalla at odds of 8.5. 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 8.5 and lay odds of 8.8 will result in a small loss of £0.51 whether Valhalla wins or loses. However if Valhalla places second or third 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
Valhalla wins +£75.00 -£75.50 £0.00 -£0.50
Valhalla loses -£10.00 +£9.49 £0.00 -£0.51
Valhalla places 2nd/3rd -£10.00 +£9.49 +£10.00 +£9.49

If Valhalla finishes second or third we shall make a tidy profit of £9.49. If however Valhalla wins or loses outside of the required place we stand to make a small loss of £0.51. 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.
