Qualifying bet

Please see my ‘Qualifying Bets Guide‘ if you’d like more information about them and how they work.

It’s entirely up to you which horse you go for, but selecting a horse with relatively short odds makes sense in the hope of a 2nd or 3rd place finish.

At the time of writing, ‘Hermes Allen‘ is available at back odds of 5.50 (9/2) and lay odds of 5.90.

Outcomes

Let’s look at your profit/loss for the possible outcomes.

OutcomepartypokerSmarketsFree BetProfit/Loss
Hermes Allen wins+ £45.00– £45.66£0.66 loss

finishes 2nd or 3rd
– £10.00+ £9.32+ £8.00£7.32 profit
Any other outcome– £10.00+ £9.32£0.68 loss

So, you’ll make a nice profit of £7.32 if Hermes Allen finishes 2nd or 3rd, or you’ll lose a maximum of £0.68 on any other outcome. Risking £0.68 to make a potential profit of £7.32 gives you effective odds of 11.76, which I’m sure you’ll agree, makes this a profitable offer in the long run.

If eligible, your free bet will be found above the bet slip and in the ‘Offers’ section. The free bet will be valid on horse racing for 7 days, and the free bet stake will not be returned with any winnings.

If you’re unsure how to convert a free bet into 80% cash, please see my ‘Free Bets Guide‘ for a walkthrough.
