Money Back Special (13:50 York) – Paddy Power

It’s Day 4 of the Yorkshire Ebor Festival 2018 on Saturday and you don’t want to miss this Money Back Special from Paddy Power! Simply place a bet of up to £10.00 on the 13:50 at York and if Lord Glitters wins, Paddy Power will refund all losing bets as a free bet, up to a maximum of £10.00. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential profit of £7.30 and here’s how…

Key Terms:

  • We must place our bet between 09:00 on Thursday 16th August 2018 and 13:50 (race-off) on Saturday 25th August 2018.
  • Offer applies to single bets or the win part of each way bets.
  • If our horse loses and Lord Glitters wins the race, Paddy Power will refund our stake as a free bet, up to £10.00.

Qualifying Bet:

If you’re unsure about how to place qualifying bets, check out my Qualifying Bet Strategy page for a walk-through guide on how they should be done.

For our qualifying bet, we need to back and lay any horse other than Lord Glitters. At the time of writing, the lay odds aren’t quite tight enough, so I’ll use fictional odds for Mustashry (5/2) in the following example and I’ll update the bottom of the post with an actual selection after the race.

We can calculate our lay stakes using my matched betting calculator.

Aim to lose no more than £0.70 on our qualifying bet

Outcomes:

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

Mustashry wins + £25.00 – £25.70= £0.70 loss
Lord Glitters wins – £10.00 + £9.30 + £8.00 (extract 80% from our £10.00 free bet) = £7.30 profit
Another horse wins – £10.00 + £9.30 = £0.70 loss

So, if Lord Glitters wins, we’ll make a nice profit of £7.30. Any other outcome and we’ll lose £0.70. Risking £0.70 to make a profit of £7.30, gives us effective odds of 11.43. So, given that Lord Glitters is odds of 2.875 (15/8) to win the race, this is a profitable offer in the long run.

If eligible, free bets will be credited within 2 hours of the race ending and will be valid on horse racing for 7 days.

If you’re unsure how to extract 80% cash from a £10.00 free bet, check out my Free Bet Strategy page for a walk-through guide on how it should be done.

* Mustashry was available at back odds of 5.50 and lay odds of 5.90. Lord Glitters won the race, resulting in a profit of £7.16 on this Paddy Power offer. *
