Free Bet:

If you’re unfamiliar with extracting cash from free bets, please see my Free Bet Strategy page for a walk-through guide on how it should be done.

It’s entirely up to you which horse you go for, but we’ll need to select a horse with long odds in order to maximise our profit.

Having looked at the odds available, we could place our free bet on Emitom (12/1).

We can calculate our lay stake using the ‘Free Bet‘ setting on my matched betting calculator…
