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 first qualifying bet on Seniority at odds of 8.0. 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 8.0 and lay odds of 8.4 will result in a small loss of £0.67 whether our horse wins or loses. However if our horse places second 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.

If Seniority finishes second we shall make a tidy profit of £9.36, if however Seniority wins or loses we stand to make a small loss of £0.67. Cash refunds will be credited to your account within 30 minutes of race finish. As this offer is available across 3 different races we stand to make a potential profit of £27.00+ for this Sportingbet offer.
