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 it would make sense to select a horse with relatively short odds in the hope of a 2nd, 3rd or 4th place finish.
At the time of writing, ‘Montassib‘ is available at back odds of 5.00 (4/1) and lay odds of 5.60.
Smarkets works best for this offer
For this offer, Smarkets are the best option due to Sky Bet being part of the same group as Betfair.
Laying your bet at Betfair would probably be fine, but if you don’t want to risk it, Smarkets is your safest bet.
- 0% commission for 60 days
You can calculate your lay stake using my Matched Betting Calculator…
As you can see, the calculator tells you that your lay stake should be £8.96…
Place £10.00 on ‘Montassib’ @ 5.00 = Potential profit of £40.00
Lay £8.96 on ‘Montassib’ @ 5.60 = Potential liability of £41.21
Outcomes
Let’s look at your potential profit/loss for the possible outcomes…
| Outcome | Sky Bet | Smarkets | Cashback | Profit/Loss |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Montassib wins | + £40.00 | – £41.21 | £1.21 loss | |
| Montassib finishes 2nd, 3rd or 4th | – £10.00 | + £8.78 | + £10.00 | £8.78 profit |
| Any other outcome | – £10.00 | + £8.78 | £1.22 loss |
So, you’ll make a nice profit of £8.78 if Montassib finishes 2nd, 3rd or 4th. Any other outcome, and you’ll lose a maximum of £1.22. Risking £1.22 to make a potential profit of £8.78 gives you effective odds of 8.20, which I’m sure you’ll agree, makes this a profitable offer in the long run.
If eligible, your cash refund will be credited within 72 hours of completion of the race.
* Montassib finished 2nd, resulting in an £8.78 profit on this Sky Bet offer. *
