US Horse Racing Offer – Virgin Bet

There’s a big schedule of US horse racing this week and you don’t want to miss this Virgin Bet ‘Bet £10, Get £10’ offer! Place a single £10.00+ bet on US horse racing and Virgin Bet will give us a £10.00 free bet to use on any sport. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £6.50 and here’s how…

Key Terms:

  • Qualifying bet must be placed and settled on US horse racing between 00:01 on Monday 17th February 2020 and 23:59 on Sunday 23rd February 2020.
  • Minimum stake of £10.00.
  • Qualifying bet must be placed at odds of 1.50 (1/2) or greater.

Qualifying Bet:

If you’re unfamiliar with qualifying bets, please see my Qualifying Bet Strategy page for a walk-through guide on how it should be done.

We’ll need to lay our bet at Betfair.

Aim to lose no more than £1.50 on our qualifying bet

Free Bet:

Once we’ve placed our qualifying bet, a pop-up window will appear within 10 minutes for us to collect our £10.00 free bet. Free bets must be accepted within 7 days of the notification and will be valid on any sportsbook market for 7 days.

By using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to extract 80% cash from our £10.00 free bet, so £8.00. If we take into account our qualifying loss of £1.50, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £6.50 on this Virgin Bet offer!
