Betway Cheltenham Offer – Bet 3, Get 1 Free

All four days of the Cheltenham Festival 2016 will be televised live on Channel 4 and as usual, Betway will be running their popular horse racing free bet offer. Simply place three or more bets of at least £10.00 on Cheltenham and Betway will give us a £10.00 free bet the following day. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £24.80 and here’s how…

Qualifying Bets:

If you’re unfamiliar with qualifying bets, please see my Qualifying Bet Strategy for a walk-through guide on how they should be done.

This offer is available on all 4 days of the Cheltenham Festival.

The 7 qualifying races on Friday 18th March 2016 are as follows…

Time Race
13:30 JCB Triumph Hurdle
14:10 Vincent O’Brien County Handicap Hurdle
14:50 Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle
15:30 Timico Cheltenham Gold Cup Steeple Chase
16:10 Foxhunter Chase
16:50 Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Hurdle
17:30 Grand Annual

We must place three eligible bets in the same day to qualify for a free bet the following day. Our qualifying bets must be placed on any of the above races at minimum odds of 1.50 (1/2) or above. A maximum of two bets per race will qualify and only those placed after 09:00 on the day of the race will be eligible.

I like to place my exchange lay bets with Smarkets as they have great liquidity, the site is really easy to use and they only charge 2% commission in comparison to the 5% charged by other betting exchanges.

We can calculate our lay stakes using the matched betting calculator.

Aim to lose no more than £0.60 on each of our 3 qualifying bets

So we will lose approximately £1.80 in qualifying for each £10.00 free bet.

Free Bets:

Our free bets will be credited by 09:00 the day after the final eligible bet has settled and will be valid for 24 hours.

By using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to extract 80% of our 4 x £10.00 free bets as cash, so around £32.00. If we take into consideration our daily qualifying loss of £1.80, this gives us a guaranteed overall profit of £24.80!
