Money Back Offer (13:15 Leopardstown) – Sky Bet

There’s a big day of racing at Leopardstown on Tuesday and it’s time for another Sky Bet money back offer! If our horse finishes 2nd or 3rd in the 13:15 at Leopardstown, Sky Bet will refund our stake as cash, up to a maximum of £10.00. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential profit of £9.24 and here’s how…

Key terms

  • This offer applies to our first bet on the 13:15 at Leopardstown.
  • Qualifying bets must be placed between 12:00 on Sunday 27th December 2020 and 13:15 (race-off) on Tuesday 29th December 2020.
  • If fewer than six runners come under starters orders, Sky Bet may withdraw the offer.
  • If our horse finishes 2nd or 3rd, Sky Bet will refund our stake as cash, up to £10.00.

Qualifying bet

If you’d like more information about qualifying bets and how they work, please see my qualifying bets guide.

It’s entirely up to you which horse you go for, but it would make sense to select a horse with fairly short odds in the hope of a 2nd or 3rd place finish.

Having looked at the odds available, we could place our qualifying bet on Concertista at back odds of 2.00 (evens) and lay odds of 2.14.

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

Outcomes

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

OutcomeSky BetBetfairCashbackProfit/Loss
Concertista wins+ £10.00– £10.75£0.75 loss
Concertista finishes 2nd or 3rd– £10.00+ £9.24+ £10.00£9.24 profit
Concertista finishes outside top 3– £10.00+ £9.24£0.76 loss

So, we’ll make a nice profit of £9.24 if Concertista finishes 2nd or 3rd and we stand to lose a maximum of £0.76 on any other outcome. Risking £0.76 to make a potential profit of £9.24 gives us effective odds of 13.16, which I’m sure you’ll agree, makes this a profitable offer in the long run.

If eligible, cash refunds will be credited within 24 hours of the race finishing.

* Concertista won the race, resulting in a loss of £0.75 on this Sky Bet offer. *
