Money Back Special (15:30 Fairyhouse) – Paddy Power

There’s a big day of racing at Fairyhouse on Sunday 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 15:30 at Fairyhouse and if Could It Be Love 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 £7.10 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.

This offer applies to single bets or the win part of each way bets. Qualifying bets must be placed between 10:00 on Friday 6th July 2018 and 15:30 (race-off) on Sunday 8th July 2018, to be eligible.

For our qualifying bet, we need to back and lay any horse other than Could It Be Love. At the time of writing, the lay odds aren’t quite tight enough, so I’ll use Lightening Quick (4/1) 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.

Aim to lose no more than £0.90 on our qualifying bet

Outcomes:

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

Lightening Quick wins + £40.00 – £40.90 = £0.90 loss
Could It Be Love wins – £10.00 + £9.10 + £8.00 (extract 80% from our £10.00 free bet) = £7.10 profit
Another horse wins – £10.00 + £9.10 = £0.90 loss

So, if Could It Be Love wins, we’ll make a nice profit of £7.10. Any other outcome and we’ll lose £0.90. Risking £0.90 to make a profit of £7.10, gives us effective odds of 8.89. So, given that Could It Be Love is odds of just 1.80 (4/5) 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.

* Lightening Quick was available at back odds of 4.333 and lay odds of 4.60. Xenobia won the race, resulting in a loss of £0.73 on this Paddy Power offer. *
