There’s a big day of racing at Leopardstown today 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 14:35 at Leopardstown and if Brendan Brackan 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 an overall potential profit of £6.90 and here’s how…
Qualifying Bets:
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.
Qualifying bets must be placed between 00:01 on Saturday 12th May 2018 and the start of the race, to be eligible.
For our qualifying bet, we need to back and lay any horse other than Brendan Brackan. At the time of writing, the lay odds aren’t quite tight enough, so I’ll use Tribal Beat (7/2) in the following example and I’ll update the bottom of the post with some actual odds after the race.
We can calculate our lay stakes using my matched betting calculator.
Outcomes:
Let’s have a look at our potential profit/loss for the possible outcomes…
Tribal Beat wins | + £35.00 – £35.60 = £0.60 loss |
Brendan Brackan wins | – £10.00 + £9.40 + £7.50 (extract 75% from our £10.00 free bet) = £6.90 profit |
Another horse wins | – £10.00 + £9.40 = £0.60 loss |
So, if Brendan Brackan wins, we’ll make a nice profit of £6.90. Any other outcome and we’ll lose £0.60. Risking £0.60 to make a profit of £6.90, gives us effective odds of 12.50. So, given that Brendan Brackan is odds of just 3.50 (5/2) 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.
