Grosvenor Cheltenham 2017 Offer – Double the Odds

Cheltenham Festival 2017 gets underway on Tuesday and you don’t want to miss this Grosvenor offer! Simply place a bet on the first race each day and Grosvenor will double the odds in cash! Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £30.00+ and here’s how…

Qualifying Bets:

If you’re unfamiliar with qualifying bets, please see my Qualifying Bet Strategy page for a walk-through guide on how it should be done.

This offer is available on the first race each day as follows…

Race Time Date
Supreme Novices’ Hurdle 13:30 Tuesday 14th March 2017
Neptune Novices’ Hurdle 13:30 Wednesday 15th March 2017
JLT Novices’ Chase 13:30 Thursday 16th March 2017
Triumph Hurdle 13:30 Friday 17th March 2017

The maximum stake for this offer is £10.00.

Each double odds boost token will be available from 18:00 the previous day.

Once we have added a selection to the betslip, we just need to click on ‘100% Odds Boost’. We will see the odds doubled on our betslip.

Only the fractional odds are doubled, so say we back a selection at 5/1 (6.00), our double odds would be 10/1 (11.00).

The back and lay odds will tighten as we get closer to each race starting. Having looked at the odds available for the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle, I’ve opted to place my qualifying bet on Bunk Off Early at odds of 13/2 (7.50).

I like to place my exchange lay bets with Smarkets as they have great liquidity and the site is really easy to use. They are also charging 0% commission on the first race every day at Cheltenham!

We can calculate our lay stake by entering our double odds into the matched betting calculator…

Place £10.00 on Bunk Off Early @ 14.00 = Potential profit of £130.00

Lay £17.50 on Bunk Off Early @ 8.00 = Potential liability of £122.50

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

Bunk Off Early wins + £130.00 – £122.50 = £7.50 profit
Bunk Off Early doesn’t win – £10.00 + £17.50 (£17.50 minus 0% commission) = £7.50 profit

So, regardless of the outcome, we’ll make a guaranteed profit of £7.50.

With four eligible races to look forward to, this gives us an overall guaranteed profit of £30.00+ on this Grosvenor Cheltenham 2017 offer!

I’ll update the following table with my actual selections at the end of each day…

Race Selection Back Odds Lay Odds Profit
Supreme Novices’ Hurdle Bunk Off Early 14.00 8.00 £7.50
Neptune Novices’ Hurdle Consul De Thaix 21.00 22.00 £8.64
JLT Novices’ Chase Disko 6.00 6.60 £6.67
Triumph Hurdle Master Blueyes 8.50 9.40 £7.02

* As you can see, I made an overall profit of £29.83 on this Grosvenor Cheltenham 2017 offer. *
