There’s a big day of racing at Goodwood today and BoyleSports are getting in on the action. Simply place a £20.00 bet on the 5.30 at Goodwood today and if it loses, BoyleSports will give us a £10.00 free bet to be used on the 7.20 at Galway. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £5.34 and here’s how…
Qualifying Bet:
We need to find a selection that has tight back and lay odds. If we underlay our bet instead of matching it completely, we can guarantee ourselves a profit on any outcome. Having looked at the odds available, I’ve opted to place my qualifying bet on Desert Haze.
I like to place my exchange lay bets with Smarkets as they have great liquidity, the site is really easy to use and they only charge 2% commission in comparison to the 5% charged by other betting exchanges.
We can calculate our lay stake using the ‘Risk-Free Bet’ setting on my matched betting calculator. We can enter £8.00 as our ‘Cashback’ figure as this is the amount we can expect to extract from our £10.00 free bet, should our selection lose…
As you can see, the calculator tells us that our lay stake should be £17.70…
Place £20.00 on Desert Haze @ 11.00 = Potential profit of £200.00
Lay £17.70 on Desert Haze @ 12.00 = Potential liability of £194.66
Let’s have a look at our potential profit/loss for the possible outcomes…
Desert Haze wins | + £200.00 – £194.66 = £5.34 profit |
Desert Haze doesn’t win | – £20.00 + £17.34 + £8.00 (extract 80% from our £10.00 free bet) = £5.34 profit |
So, regardless of the result of the race, we will make a guaranteed profit of £5.34.
If our qualifying bet loses, our free bet will be credited 10 minutes prior to the 7.20 at Galway and must be used on that race.
