It’s Day 2 of the Cheltenham Festival 2022 on Wednesday, and you don’t want to miss this Hollywoodbets money back offer! If your horse finishes 2nd or 3rd in the 16:50 Cheltenham, Hollywoodbets will refund your stake as a free bet up to £10.00. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives you a potential profit of £6.36 and here’s how…

Qualifying bet
Please see my qualifying bets guide if you’d like more information about them and how they work.
It’s entirely up to you which horse you go for, but it would make sense to select a horse with relatively short odds in the hope of a 2nd or 3rd place finish.
At the time of writing, Andy Dufresne is available at back odds of 7.50 (13/2) and lay odds of 8.80.

You can calculate your lay stake using my Matched Betting Calculator…
As you can see, the calculator tells you that your lay stake should be £8.54…
Place £10.00 on Andy Dufresne @ 7.50 = Potential profit of £65.00
Lay £8.54 on Andy Dufresne @ 8.80 = Potential liability of £66.61
Outcomes
Let’s look at your potential profit/loss for the possible outcomes…
| Outcome | Hollywoodbets | Betfair | Free Bet | Profit/Loss |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Andy Dufresne wins | + £65.00 | – £66.61 | £1.61 loss | |
| Andy Dufresne finishes 2nd or 3rd | – £10.00 | + £8.36 | + £8.00 | £6.36 profit |
| Any other outcome | – £10.00 | + £8.36 | £1.64 loss |
So, you’ll make a nice profit of £6.36 if Andy Dufresne finishes 2nd or 3rd, or you’ll lose a maximum of £1.64 on any other outcome. Risking £1.64 to make a potential profit of £6.36 gives you effective odds of 4.88, 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 12:00 the day after the race. Free bets will be valid on horse racing for 24 hours, and the free bet stake will not be returned with any winnings.
If you’re unsure how to convert your £10.00 free bet into £8.00 cash (80%), please see my free bets guide for a walkthrough of how it should be done.
