Qualifying bet
If your qualifying bet loses, Betfair will refund your stake as a free bet, so you can treat this as a Money Back if Bet Loses offer.
You’ll need to place your bet at long odds to maximise profit.
At the time of writing, ‘Warm Spell‘ is available at back odds of 7.60 and lay odds of 7.80.
You can work out your lay stake using the ‘Money Back if Bet Loses‘ setting on my Matched Betting Calculator. You can enter ‘£8.00‘ as your ‘Cashback’ figure as that is the amount you can expect to convert your £10.00 free bet into, should your bet lose.
As you can see, the calculator tells you that your lay stake should be £8.29.
Place £10.00 on ‘Warm Spell’ @ 7.60 = Potential profit of £62.70
Lay £8.29 on ‘Warm Spell’ @ 7.80 = Potential liability of £56.37
Outcomes
Let’s look at your profit/loss for the possible outcomes.
| Outcome | Betfair | Exchange | Free Bet | Profit/Loss |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Warm Spell wins | + £62.70 | – £56.37 | £6.33 profit | |
| Another horse wins | – £10.00 | + £8.29 | + £8.00 | £6.29 profit |
So, no matter the outcome, you’ll make a minimum profit of £6.29 on this Betfair Exchange offer!
