Sky Bet Offer – Queen Anne Stakes

It’s Royal Ascot this week and you won’t want to miss this Sky Bet offer!  Simply place a bet on the 14:30 Queen Anne Stakes at Ascot race course on Tuesday and if it loses, Sky Bet will refund us as a free bet up to a maximum of £25.00.  Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed minimum profit of £12.15 and here’s how…

For this particular offer, we need to select a horse that has a decent chance of losing so that we receive the free bet refund.  It therefore makes sense to place our qualifying bet on a horse with long odds.  Having looked at the odds on offer, I’ve opted to place my qualifying bet on Night of Thunder.

Place £25.00 on Night of Thunder @ 6.00 = Potential profit of £125.00

Lay £21.58 on Night of Thunder @ 7.00 = Potential liability of £129.50

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

Night of Thunder wins +£125.00 – £129.50 = £4.50 loss
Night of Thunder doesn’t win -£25.00 + £20.50 + £20.00 (extract 80% from our £25.00 free bet) = £15.50 profit

So as things stand we will make £15.50 profit if Night of Thunder doesn’t win and a loss of £4.50 if he does win.  It’s not often that we are able to do this but by placing a further back bet on Night of Thunder, we can guarantee ourselves a profit on any outcome…

Place £3.33 on Night of Thunder @ 6.00 = Potential profit of £16.65

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

Night of Thunder wins -£4.50 + £16.65 = £12.15 profit
Night of Thunder doesn’t win £15.50 – £3.33 = £12.17 profit

So regardless of the result of the Queen Anne Stakes, we will make a guaranteed minimum profit of £12.15!
