Outcomes

Let’s look at your profit/loss for the possible outcomes.

OutcomeFitzdaresSmarketsFree BetProfit/Loss
Run For Oscar wins+ £80.00– £81.80£1.80 loss
Run For Oscar finishes
2nd, 3rd or 4th
– £10.00+ £8.18+ £8.00£6.18 profit
Any other outcome– £10.00+ £8.18£1.82 loss

So, you’ll make a nice profit of £6.18 if Run For Oscar finishes 2nd, 3rd or 4th, or you’ll lose a maximum of £1.82 on any other outcome. Risking £1.82 to make a potential profit of £6.18 gives you effective odds of 4.40, which I’m sure you’ll agree, makes this a profitable offer in the long run.

If eligible, your free bet will be credited by 16:50 on Wednesday 15th March 2023, and valid until 17:30 on Friday 17th March 2023. The free bet stake will not be returned with any winnings.
