There’s a big day of racing at Sandown today and you don’t want to miss this Coral offer. Place a Win Single £20.00+ bet on the 1.25 at Sandown and Coral will give us a £5.00 free bet to use on Saturday’s main event, the Coral Eclipse (3.45 Sandown). Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £2.54 and here’s how…
Qualifying Bet:
If you’re unfamiliar with qualifying bets, please see my Qualifying Bet Strategy for a walk-through guide on how they should be done.
To qualify for our free bet, we must place a Win Single £20.00+ bet at odds of 1.50 (1/2) or greater on the Coral.co.uk Handicap (1.25 Sandown).
It’s entirely up to you which horse you place your qualifying bet on, but having looked at the odds available, I’ve opted to place my qualifying bet on Monteverdi.
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 my matched betting calculator…
As you can see, the calculator tells us that our lay stake should be £18.92…
Place £20.00 on Monteverdi @ 4.333 = Potential profit of £66.66
Lay £18.92 on Monteverdi @ 4.60 = Potential liability of £68.12
Let’s have a look at our potential profit/loss for the possible outcomes…
| Monteverdi wins | + £66.66 – £68.12 = £1.46 loss |
| Monteverdi doesn’t win | – £20.00 + £18.54 = £1.46 loss |
So, regardless of the outcome, we will lose £1.46 in qualifying for our £5.00 free bet.
Free Bet:
Our £5.00 free bet will be credited upon settlement of our qualifying bet and must be used on the 3.45 at Sandown.
By using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to extract 80% of our £5.00 free bet as cash, so around £4.00. If we take into consideration our qualifying loss of £1.46, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £2.54 on this Coral offer!
