Key Terms:

  • We must opt-in to this promotion to be eligible.
  • The minimum stake to qualify is £10.00.
  • We must place an Exchange back bet on the 14:00 at Exeter on Tuesday 3rd March 2020.

Qualifying Bet:

If you’re unfamiliar with qualifying bets, please see my Qualifying Bet Strategy page for a walk-through guide on how they should be done.

If you’re paying 2% commission with Betfair’s Basic package, you won’t be eligible for this ‘Bet £10, Get £5’ Exchange offer.

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

It’s entirely up to you what you place your qualifying bet on. Having looked at the odds available, we could place our qualifying bet on The Jitterbug.

We can calculate our lay stake using my matched betting calculator…

Aim to lose no more than £0.50 on our qualifying bet

Outcomes:

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

Outcome Betfair Other Exchange Profit/Loss
The Jitterbug wins +£10.83 -£11.28 £0.45 loss
The Jitterbug doesn’t win -£10.00 +£9.53 £0.47 loss

So, regardless of the outcome, we’ll lose a maximum of £0.47 in qualifying for our £5.00 free bet.

Free Bet:

We’ll receive our £5.00 free bet upon settlement of our qualifying bet. The free bet must be used via mobile on any of the remaining races on the Exeter card.

By using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to extract 80% cash from our £5.00 free bet, so £4.00. If we take into account our maximum qualifying loss of £0.47, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £3.53 on this Betfair Exchange offer!

* The Jitterbug failed to win the race, resulting in a profit of £3.53 on this Betfair Exchange offer. *
