Betfair Chase Offer – Betfair Exchange

It’s the Betfair Chase at Haydock on Saturday and you don’t want to miss this Betfair Exchange free bet offer! They’re giving all customers a £5.00 free bet to use on the 15:00 at Haydock! Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £3.79 and here’s how…

Key Terms:

  • This offer is available to new and existing Betfair customers.
  • The £5.00 free bet is available to claim on the promotion page.
  • The free bet can be used on the 15:00 at Haydock on Saturday 21st November 2020.
  • The free bet is valid on the ‘win’ market only.

Free Bet:

Using straightforward matched betting, we can convert our £5.00 free bet into around 75% cash, so £3.75. If you’re unsure how to do this, please see my Free Bets Guide for a walkthrough of how it should be done.

If you’re paying 2% commission with Betfair’s Basic package, you won’t be eligible for this Exchange offer.

We’ll need to lay our bet at another exchange.

It’s entirely up to you which horse you place your free bet on. Having looked at the odds available, we could place our free bet on Bellshill.

We can calculate our lay stake using my Matched Betting Calculator
