It’s Day 4 of the Cheltenham Festival 2023 on Friday, and you don’t want to miss this Vickers offer! Place a £10.00+ bet on the 15:30 Cheltenham, and get a £10.00 free bet. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives you a profit of £7.47, and here’s how…
This offer was initially available on the Triumph Hurdle (13:30) but has now been changed to the Gold Cup (15:30). Vickers should honour qualifying bets on the 13:30 as advertised yesterday, but if you want to be sure, you could always place a bet on the 15:30 too.

Lay £9.47 on ‘Galopin Des Champs’ @ 2.64 = Potential liability of £15.53
Outcomes
Let’s look at your profit/loss for the possible outcomes.
| Outcome | Vickers | Smarkets | Profit/Loss |
|---|---|---|---|
| Galopin Des Champs wins | + £15.00 | – £15.53 | £0.53 loss |
| Another horse wins | – £10.00 | + £9.47 | £0.53 loss |
So, no matter the outcome, you’ll lose £0.53 in qualifying for your £10.00 free bet.
Free bet
