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, ‘Noche Magica‘ is available at back odds of 12.00 and lay odds of 12.50.
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 £8.52.
Place £10.00 on ‘Noche Magica’ @ 12.00 = Potential profit of £104.50
Lay £8.52 on ‘Noche Magica’ @ 12.50 = Potential liability of £97.98
Outcomes
Let’s look at your profit/loss for the possible outcomes.
| Outcome | Betfair | Exchange | Free Bet | Profit/Loss |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Noche Magica wins | + £104.50 | – £97.98 | £6.52 profit | |
| Another horse wins | – £10.00 | + £8.52 | + £8.00 | £6.52 profit |
So, no matter the outcome, you’ll profit £6.52 on this Betfair Exchange offer!
