It’s a big day of racing at Cheltenham on Friday and you don’t want to miss this Paddy Power offer! Place a bet of up to £10.00 on the 13:45 Cheltenham and if it loses, Paddy Power will refund our stake as a free bet. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £5.80 and here’s how…
Key terms
- Money back as a free bet if our horse loses in the 13:45 Cheltenham.
- Applies to bets placed between 13:30 on Wednesday 10th November 2021 and 13:45 (race-off) on Friday 12th November 2021.
- Offer applies to the win market and the win part of each way bets only.
- Applies to bets of up to £10.00.
Qualifying bet
Losing stakes are refunded as a free bet, so we can treat this as a risk-free bet offer.
We’ll need to select a horse with long odds in order to maximise our profit.
At the time of writing, Kap Auteuil is available at back odds of 7.50 (13/2) and lay odds of 8.40.
We can work out our lay stake by using the ‘Risk-Free Bet’ setting on my Matched Betting Calculator. We can enter £8.00 as our ‘Cashback’ figure as that’s the cash amount we can expect to convert our £10.00 free bet into if our horse loses…
As you can see, the calculator tells us that our lay stake should be £8.00…
Place £10.00 on Kap Auteuil @ 7.50 = Potential profit of £65.00
Lay £8.00 on Kap Auteuil @ 8.40 = Potential liability of £59.20
Outcomes
Let’s have a look at our potential profit/loss for the possible outcomes…
| Outcome | Paddy Power | Exchange | Free Bet | Profit/Loss |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kap Auteuil wins | + £65.00 | – £59.20 | £5.80 profit | |
| Another horse wins | – £10.00 | + £7.84 | + £8.00 | £5.84 profit |
So, no matter the outcome, we’ll make a guaranteed profit of £5.80 on this Paddy Power offer!
If eligible, free bets will be credited within 2 hours of the race ending and will be valid on any horse racing market for 7 days.
