Aintree Festival 2019 Offer – Betway

The Aintree Festival 2019 gets underway on Thursday and you don’t want to miss this Betway Money Back Special! Simply place a bet on the first ITV race at Aintree each day and if it loses, Betway will refund our stake as a free bet, up to a maximum of £10.00. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us an overall guaranteed profit of £17.40 and here’s how…

Key Terms:

  • Minimum stake of £2.00.
  • Qualifying bets must be placed on the first ITV race each day at the Aintree Festival 2019.
  • If our bet loses, Betway will refund our stake as a free bet, up to a maximum of £10.00.

Qualifying Bets:

This offer is available on the first ITV race each day as follows…

Race Date
14:20 Aintree Thursday 4th April 2019
14:20 Aintree Friday 5th April 2019
14:25 Aintree Saturday 6th April 2019

Losing stakes are refunded as a free bet, so this is effectively a risk-free offer.

We’ll need to select horses with long odds in order to maximise our profits.

Having looked at the odds available for the 14:20 at Aintree on Thursday, we could place our qualifying bet on Christopher Wood.

At the time of writing, laying our bet at Betfair gives us the biggest guaranteed profit.

We can work out our lay stake by using the ‘Risk-Free Bet’ setting on my matched betting calculator. We can enter £8.00 as our ‘Cashback’ figure as this is the amount we can expect to extract (80%) from our £10.00 free bet refund, should our horse lose…

Place £10.00 on Christopher Wood @ 12.00 = Potential profit of £110.00

Lay £8.33 on Christopher Wood @ 13.50 = Potential liability of £104.12

Outcomes:

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

Outcome Bookie Exchange Extracted Profit/Loss
Christopher Wood wins +£110.00 -£104.12 £5.88 profit
Christopher Wood doesn’t win -£10.00 +£7.91 +£8.00 £5.91 profit

So, regardless of the outcomes and with some good odds, we should make a guaranteed profit of around £5.80 on each race. With 3 eligible races to look forward to, this gives us an overall guaranteed profit of £17.40 on this Betway offer!

If eligible, free bets will be credited within 24 hours of our qualifying bets being settled. Free bets will be valid for 24 hours and free bet stakes are not included in any returns.

If you’re unsure how to extract £8.00 cash (80%) from a £10.00 free bet, check out my Free Bet Strategy page for a walk-through guide on how it should be done.

I’ll update the following table with some actual selections after each race…

Race Selection Back Odds Lay Odds Profit
14:20 Thursday Christopher Wood 12.00 13.50 £5.91
14:20 Friday Southfield Stone 10.00 11.50 £5.84
