Coral Cheltenham Offer – Ruby Walsh

He’s been leading jockey at the Cheltenham Festival in eight of the last ten years and this year, Ruby Walsh has a dream book of rides.  Coral have unearthed a real gem of a Cheltenham offer!  Simply place a £20.00 Win Single or £10.00 Each Way Single on the Supreme Novices Hurdle at Cheltenham on Tuesday and get a £5.00 free bet for every winner Ruby Walsh rides on the same day.  Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential profit of £12.78 and here’s how…

Qualifying Bets:

If you’re unfamiliar with qualifying bets, please see my Qualifying Bet Strategy page for a walkthrough guide on how to place your qualifying bets.

It’s entirely up to you which horse you place your qualifying bet on.  Having looked at the odds available, I’ve opted to keep my qualifying loss at a minimum and place my qualifying bet on the favourite, Douvan.

Place £20.00 on Douvan @ 2.50 = Potential profit of £30.00

betfair

Lay £17.67 on Douvan @ 2.88 = Potential liability of £33.22

Let’s have a look at our potential profit/loss for the possible outcomes…

Douvan wins

+£30.00 – £33.22 = £3.22 loss

Douvan doesn’t win

-£20.00 + £16.78 = £3.22 loss

So regardless of the result of the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle, we will lose £3.22 in qualifying for this offer.

Free Bets:

For every winner that Ruby Walsh rides on Tuesday at Cheltenham, we will receive a £5.00 free bet. Therefore, if he rides four winners, we would receive £20.00 in free bets. I would then extract 80% of these as cash, so £16.00. If we take into account our qualifying loss of £3.22, this gives us a potential profit of £12.78!

If you’re not sure how to extract 80% of the free bets, please see my Free Bet Strategy page for a walkthrough guide on how it should be done.

* Ruby Walsh rode 3 winners on Day 1 of the Cheltenham Festival, meaning we received £15.00 in free bets. *
