If you’d like more information about qualifying bets and how they work, please see my qualifying bets guide.

It’s entirely up to you which horses you place your qualifying bets on, though it makes sense to try and avoid Irish trained horses where possible.

Having looked at the odds available for the Boodles Fred Winter Juvenile Handicap Hurdle (16:15 Tuesday), we could place our qualifying bet on Houx Gris at back odds of 5.50 and lay odds of 6.20.

Outcomes

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

OutcomeToalsBetfairFree BetProfit/Loss
Houx Gris wins+ £45.00– £46.28£1.28 loss
Houx Gris finishes 2nd or 3rd to Irish winner– £10.00+ £8.72+ £8.00£6.72 profit
Any other outcome– £10.00+ £8.72£1.28 loss

So, we’ll make a nice profit of £6.72 if Houx Gris finishes 2nd or 3rd to an Irish trained winner, or we’ll lose £1.28 on any other outcome. Risking £1.28 to make a potential profit of £6.72 gives us effective odds of 6.25, which I’m sure you’ll agree makes this a profitable offer in the long run.

We won’t find a suitable selection for every race, nor should we be aiming to bet on every race. It’s best to be selective and keep our qualifying losses to a minimum. With 9 races to go at, there’s an overall potential profit of £20.00+ up for grabs on this Toals offer!

If eligible, free bets will be credited within 24 hours of the respective qualifying bet being settled. Free bet stakes are not included in any returns.

If you’re unsure how to convert your £10.00 free bets into £8.00 cash (80%), please see my free bets guide for a walkthrough of how it should be done.
