There’s a big day of racing at Thirsk on Saturday, and you don’t want to miss this Betfair Exchange money back offer! Place a bet of up to £10.00 on the 14:05 Thirsk, and Betfair will refund your stake as a free bet if your horse fails to place.

Qualifying bet
Please see my qualifying bets guide if you’d like more information about them and how they work.
It’s entirely up to you which horse you go for, but it would make sense to select a horse with pretty long odds hoping it won’t finish 1st, 2nd or 3rd.
At the time of writing, Pisanello is available at back odds of 10.50 and lay odds of 12.00.
You can calculate your lay stake using my Matched Betting Calculator…
As you can see, the calculator tells you that your lay stake should be £8.37…
Place £10.00 on Pisanello @ 10.50 = Potential profit of £90.25
Lay £8.37 on Pisanello @ 12.00 = Potential liability of £92.07
Outcomes
Let’s look at your potential profit/loss for the possible outcomes…
| Outcome | Betfair | Exchange | Free Bet | Profit/Loss |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pisanello wins | + £90.25 | – £92.07 | £1.82 loss | |
| Pisanello finishes 2nd or 3rd | – £10.00 | + £8.20 | £1.80 loss | |
| Pisanello does not finish 1st, 2nd or 3rd | – £10.00 | + £8.20 | + £8.00 | £6.20 profit |
So, you’ll make a profit of £6.20 if Pisanello does not finish 1st, 2nd or 3rd, or you’ll lose a maximum of £1.82 on any other outcome. Risking £1.82 to make a profit of £6.20 gives you effective odds of 4.41, which I’m sure you’ll agree, makes this a profitable offer in the long run.
If eligible, free bets will be credited within 24 hours and valid on any horse racing market for 7 days.
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.
