The Yorkshire Ebor Festival 2020 gets underway on Wednesday and you don’t want to miss this Genting Bet offer! Simply place a single bet of £10.00+ on the 14:15 at York and get a £10.00 free bet if our selection loses and Cloudbridge wins the race. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a potential profit of £7.22 and here’s how…
Key Terms:
- We must place a single bet of £10.00+ or £10.00 each way on the Acomb Stakes.
- Our bet must be placed before 14:15 (race-off) on Wednesday 19th August 2020.
- If our first bet loses and Cloudbridge wins, we’ll get a £10.00 free bet.
Qualifying Bet:
If you’re unsure about how to place qualifying bets, check out my Qualifying Bet Strategy page for a walk-through guide on how they should be done.
For our qualifying bet, we need to back and lay any horse other than Cloudbridge.
At the time of writing, the lay odds aren’t quite tight enough, so I’ll use fictional lay odds for Darvel in the following example and I’ll update the bottom of the post with an actual selection after the race.
At the time of writing, laying our bet at Betfair is likely to give us the smallest qualifying loss.

We can calculate our lay stake using my matched betting calculator…
As you can see, the calculator tells us that our lay stake should be £9.41…
Place £10.00 on Darvel @ 4.50 = Potential profit of £35.00
Lay £9.41 on Darvel @ 4.80 = Potential liability of £35.75
Outcomes:
Let’s have a look at our potential profit/loss for the possible outcomes…
| Outcome | Bookie | Exchange | Extracted | Profit/Loss |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Darvel wins | +£35.00 | -£35.75 | £0.75 loss | |
| Cloudbridge wins | -£10.00 | +£9.22 | +£8.00 | £7.22 profit |
| Another horse wins | -£10.00 | +£9.22 | £0.78 loss |
So, if Cloudbridge wins, we’ll make a nice profit of £7.22! Any other outcome and we’ll lose a maximum of £0.78. Risking £0.78 to make a profit of £7.22, gives us effective odds of 10.26. So, given that Cloudbridge is odds of just 2.875 (15/8) to win the race, this is a profitable offer in the long run.
If eligible, free bets will be credited within 4 hours of the race settling and will be valid for 3 days. Free bet stakes are not returned with any winnings.

* Royal Scimitar was available at back odds of 5.50 and lay odds of 5.80. Gear Up won the race, resulting in a loss of £0.68 on this Genting Bet offer. *
