Betfred Cheltenham Offer – Tuesday Money-Back Special

A fantastic money-back special from Betfred. Simply place a bet on any horse in the Mares Hurdle at Cheltenham on Tuesday and if she’s beaten by odds on favourite, Quevega, Betfair will refund all losing bets as a free bet up to a maximum of £25.00.  Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential profit of £13.98.  And here’s how…

We need to select a horse and hope she doesn’t win the race, as bets are only refunded in the event of Quevega winning.  Having looked at the odds on offer, I’ve decided to bet on Cockney Sparrow.

 

Step 1:

betfred

Place £25.00 on Cockney Sparrow @ 9.00 = Potential profit of £200.00

betfair

Lay £22.61 on Cockney Sparrow @ 10.00 = Potential liability of £203.49

Step 2:

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

 

Cockney Sparrow wins

+£200.00 – £203.49 = £3.49 loss

Quevega wins

-£25.00 + £21.48 + £17.50 (we should be able to extract 75% of our £25.00 free bet) = £13.98 profit

Neither wins

-£25.00 + £21.48 = £3.52 loss

 

So we will win £13.98 if Quevega wins the race.  If Quevega doesn’t win, we will lose a maximum of £3.52 which I’m sure you’ll agree is a risk worth taking as Quevega is currently the odds on favourite, priced at 1.73 to win.
