The 4-day Yorkshire Ebor Festival 2018 gets underway on Wednesday and you don’t want to miss this Betway offer! Simply place a bet on the first race at York each day and if our selection loses, Betway will refund our stake as a free bet, up to a maximum of £10.00. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed overall profit of £24.00+ and here’s how…
Key Terms:
- The minimum stake for this offer is £2.00.
- We must place single Race Winner bets.
- If our first bet loses, Betway will refund our stake as a free bet, up to £10.00.
This offer is available on the first race each day at the Yorkshire Ebor Festival 2018 as follows…
| Time | Date |
|---|---|
| 13:55 | Wednesday 22nd August 2018 |
| 13:55 | Thursday 23rd August 2018 |
| 13:55 | Friday 24th August 2018 |
| 13:50 | Saturday 25th August 2018 |
Qualifying Bets:
Losing stakes are refunded as a free bet, so this is effectively a risk-free bet offer. We’ll need to select horses with long odds in order to maximise our profits. The back and lay odds should tighten up on the day of each race.
At the time of writing, the lay odds for the 13:55 on Wednesday aren’t quite tight enough, so I’ll use fictional odds for Tis Marvellous in the following example and I’ll update the table at the bottom of the post with an actual selection after the race.
At the time of writing, laying our bet at Smarkets is likely to give us the biggest guaranteed profit.
We can work out our lay stake by using the ‘Risk-Free Bet’ setting on my matched betting calculator. We can enter £8.00 as our ‘Cashback’ figure as this is the amount we can expect to extract (80%) from our £10.00 free bet refund, should our horse lose…
As you can see, the calculator tells us that our lay stake should be £8.22…
Place £10.00 on Tis Marvellous @ 9.00 = Potential profit of £80.00
Lay £8.22 on Tis Marvellous @ 10.00 = Potential liability of £73.98
Outcomes:
Let’s have a look at our potential profit/loss for the possible outcomes…
| Tis Marvellous wins | + £80.00 – £73.98 = £6.02 profit |
| Tis Marvellous doesn’t win | – £10.00 + £8.05 + £8.00 (extract 80% from our £10.00 free bet) = £6.05 profit |
So, regardless of the outcome and with some good odds, we should make a guaranteed profit of around £6.00 on each race. With four eligible races to look forward to, this gives us a guaranteed overall profit of £24.00+ on this Betway offer!
If eligible, free bets will be credited within 24 hours of our qualifying bets being settled and will be valid for 24 hours. Free bet stakes are not included in any returns.
I’ll update the following table with some suggested bets throughout the week…
| Race | Selection | Back Odds | Lay Odds | Profit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 13:55 Wednesday | Tis Marvellous | 10.00 | 11.00 | £6.21 |
| 13:55 Thursday | Firelight | 12.00 | 14.00 | £5.84 |
| 13:55 Friday | First Nation | 8.00 | 8.20 | £6.62 |
| 13:50 Saturday | Threading | 8.50 | 9.60 | £5.87 |
