Ladbrokes – Money Back if Horse Loses (13:15 Newbury)

It’s a big day of racing at Newbury on Saturday, and you don’t want to miss this Ladbrokes offer! Place a £1.00+ bet on the 13:15 Newbury, and if it loses, Ladbrokes will refund our stake as a free bet up to £10.00. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a profit of £5.80 and here’s how…

Key terms

  • Applies to our first cash bet placed on the 13:15 Newbury.
  • Applies to bets placed between 18:00 on Friday 26th November 2021 and race-off (13:15) on Saturday 27th November 2021.
  • Minimum stake of £1.00.
  • Maximum free bet of £10.00 if your horse loses.

Qualifying bet

Losing stakes are refunded as a free bet, so we can treat this as a risk-free bet offer.

We’ll need to select a horse with long odds to maximise our profit.

Looking at the odds available, we could place our qualifying bet on Kapcorse at back odds of 7.50 (13/2) and lay odds of 8.40.

Either exchange works for this offer

Betfair and Smarkets are both great options for this offer. If you’ve not used one of them, now is a great time to give them a try.

  • Money back as cash up to £20
  • 0% commission for 60 days

We can work out our lay stake by using the ‘Risk-Free Bet’ setting on my Matched Betting Calculator. We can enter £8.00 as our ‘Cashback’ figure as that’s the cash amount we can expect to convert our £10.00 free bet into if our horse loses.
