Bet365 4/1 Offer
-
Just looking at this can I guarantee a profit by adding £20 (75 extraction) to the odds before working out my lay stake and I`m presuming the odds need to be higher than 4/1 at the off rather than when I place my bet?

There is a thread on this…that tells you exactly what to do just search for it
+0@jamiea you basically just add 0.8 to the odds at the bookies and then lay below your odds to extract a profit but personally I just take the qualifying loss and hope as I have had 2 winners in the past 4 days and because of best odds guarenteed have made roughly £190 out of those 2 winners with a qualifying loss of around £7 so £183 profit in total.

Usually from the £50 risk free you can get around £40…so you got around £100 with BOG Shaun? that’s crazy! Odds must have changed massively!
+0They did I took 6.0 originally and the price on the lay changed massively and I finally laid it off on a wing and a prayer at 10.5 for a big massive loss of around £22 and they then paid out at 8.5 so it paid off this time, was sweating for awhile then.
+0Cheers Ryan I did find the thread after posting. Gonna try n keep it simple put 25 on find a horse as close to 5.0 as possible and lay odds within 0.8 and just lay at 30. Should make 4-5 quid more often than not.
Does the best odds guarantee mean if the starting price goes up you get that?
+0
Yes Jamiea, best odds guarantee means you get the better of the SP or the Price you took (really should be called better odds guaranteed).
The 5:00 at chepstow looks promising. I got Shadaii at 5.5/5.9. Him and Kayf have been touching 5.9 on the exchange here and there this afternoon.
Its a decent race to try it out anyway.
+0
But jamiea within 0.8 isn’t really going to be close enough.
Backing £25@5.0.
Laying £30@5.8.You will be paying out £144 at exchange and only taking in £100 + £25 free bet at bookie if the horse wins. You need to get much closer.
So yes, you win about £5 (minus commission) when you lose (about 4 in 5).
But you lose ~£24 when you win (about once in five).+0Get regular offer updates, tip and tricks, big offer alerts and more straight to your inbox.
Just a quick one, I’ve read the T&C’s and it reads to me though if you back at 5’s and the price drifts in to 4.33 that you still get the free bet – just wanted to check if anyonme had any experience of this?
I’m on Kayf Charmer in the 5:00 @ Chepstow but he’s currently at 4.33

Its the price you take after deduction for rule 4 non runners. So as long as you bet @5 then it doesn’t matter what the SP is provided there are no non runners.
+0Great, thanks Ryan.
There was a non-runner which I can’t recall if it was declared when I placed my bet but I backed at 5.5 and the reduction factor is 3.4% so shouldn’t be a problem.
+0Also a new rule I learnt last week off someone here is if the horse is above 14/1 when it becomes a non runner then there is no rule 4! So in reality anything with a reduction factor of 5 percent or less should mean we are always ok. Had the winner in that backed at 5 and laid at 4.2 for 70 so happy days. Now done the risk free bet but have to match this early in case odds change. Sometimes I take a five pound loss of the odds drift when I place the qualifier and it goes on a massive drift
+0Do they announce the feature races the night before or in the morning?
+0
In case anyone falls victim to it, the Channel 4/1 and Feature 4/1 are different offers. For example, if you backed a winner on the last race of the day and it was Feature 4/1 (i.e. tonight), then your free bet won’t be on the first Channel 4/1 offer race tomorrow.
+0Thanks Mark,
That would be a very easy mistake to make!
Those crafty badgers.
+0
Yeah! I fell into the trap several months ago and of course didn’t get my stake returned from the following race the next day – I asked on chat and they said my risk free bet will be on the next Feature 4/1 race (probably the Monday).
