Money Back Special (17:10 Galway) – Paddy Power

It’s Day 3 of the Galway Festival 2018 on Wednesday 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 17:10 at Galway and if Debuchet 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 £7.20 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 Tuesday 31st July 2018 and 17:10 (race-off) on Wednesday 1st August 2018, to be eligible.

For our qualifying bet, we need to back and lay any horse other than Debuchet. At the time of writing, the lay odds aren’t quite tight enough, so I’ll use fictional odds for Getareason (7/2) 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.

Outcomes:

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

So, if Debuchet wins, we’ll make a nice profit of £7.20. Any other outcome and we’ll lose £0.80. Risking £0.80 to make a profit of £7.20, gives us effective odds of 10.00. So, given that Debuchet is odds of just 1.909 (10/11) 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.
