Outcomes

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

OutcomeGentingBetBetfairFree BetProfit/Loss
Trueshan wins+ £40.00– £41.65£1.65 loss
Stradivarius wins– £10.00+ £8.33+ £8.00£6.33 profit
Another horse wins– £10.00+ £8.33£1.67 loss

So, if Stradivarius wins, we’ll make a nice profit of £6.33! Any other outcome and we’ll lose a maximum of £1.67. Risking £1.67 to make a profit of £6.33, gives us effective odds of 4.79. So, given that Stradivarius is odds of just 2.00 (evens) to win the race, this is a profitable offer in the long run.

If eligible, free bets will be credited within 4 hours of the race settling and will be valid for 3 days. Free bet stakes are not returned with any winnings.

If you’re unsure how to convert your £10.00 free bet into £8.00 cash (80%), please see my free bets guide for a walkthrough of how it should be done.

* Subjectivist won the race, resulting in a loss of £1.67 on this GentingBet offer. *
