I've only been doing the matched betting for about 6 weeks, I've just started doing the Horse Racing Refunds with the help of the free trial of the match catcher on PA this week.

I don't know if I'm just very unlucky, but I've placed around 35 of these bets the last few days, and only received 1 free bet when my horse won on Betfair today.

I've been careful not to take horses with very high odds for the offers that pay 2nd to SP favourite, so that the horse has a fair chance of coming second, but I'm not getting the results.

Today I've just about broken even if I tot up my qualifying losses, but other days this week I've definitely lost a few quid doing these.

Is this just bad luck, or am I doing something wrong? Any advice gratefully received :)

You are doing too many

I wouldn't bother with any of the "money back if your horse finishes 2nd to the sp" favourite offers as they have a very low chance of happening as PA says!

OK Jon, thanks - so do you think it's better to just stick to the promos such as the one that was on Betfair yesterday, where you get a free bet if your horses wins at odds of 4.0 or above? I guess there is more chance of that happening...?

Yes

And any horse refund offer that DOESNT require the SP favourite to win is worth doing

Horse racing refunds are watched closely by bookies so don't do every one that is available. Go for refunds from other sports as well.
