It’s the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe on Sunday and you don’t want to miss this Money Back Special from RaceBets! Simply place a bet of up to £10.00 on the 15:05 at Longchamp and if Enable wins, RaceBets 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 £7.22 and here’s how…
Key Terms:
- This offer applies to our first single fixed odds bet on the 15:05 at Longchamp.
- Qualifying bets must be placed on Sunday 7th October 2018 (day of the race).
- This offer is subject to a minimum of 5 runners starting the race.
- If our horse loses and Enable wins the race, RaceBets 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 Enable. At the time of writing, the lay odds aren’t quite tight enough, so I’ll use fictional odds for Sea Of Class in the following example and I’ll update the bottom of the post with an actual selection after the race.
At the time of writing, laying our bet with Smarkets is likely to give us the smallest qualifying loss.
We can calculate our lay stake using my matched betting calculator…
As you can see, the calculator tells us that our lay stake should be £9.41…
Place £10.00 on Sea Of Class @ 4.50 = Potential profit of £35.00
Lay £9.41 on Sea Of Class @ 4.80 = Potential liability of £35.75
Outcomes:
Let’s have a look at our potential profit/loss for the possible outcomes…
| Sea Of Class wins | + £35.00 – £35.75 = £0.75 loss |
| Enable wins | – £10.00 + £9.22 + £8.00 (extract 80% from our £10.00 free bet) = £7.22 profit |
| Another horse wins | – £10.00 + £9.22 = £0.78 loss |
So, if Enable wins, we’ll make a nice profit of £7.22. Any other outcome and we’ll lose a maximum of £0.78. Risking £0.78 to make a profit of £7.22, gives us effective odds of 10.26. So, given that Enable is odds of just 2.00 (evens) to win the race, this is a profitable offer in the long run.
If eligible, free bets will be credited within 1 hours of the race ending and will be valid for 24 hours.

* Sea Of Class was available at back odds of 6.00 and lay odds of 7.60. Enable won the race, resulting in a profit of £5.76 on this RaceBets offer. *
