Matched Betting Discussion Cheltenham Festival 2022 Matched Betting Offers

Yeah, It's usually just the televised races isn't it.

As it will be on ITV then usually yes, but still worth double checking as ITV typically won't show the last race and on rare occassions B365 still count it (or ITV can change their schedule at the last minute)

Some Pre-Cheltenham advice for y'all!

Yes, there's sound - check you see 5 little blue bars in the bottom menu, that's the volume button on Vimeo

An interesting point in that vid about the high liquidity the night before so you can place bets before work!

Just seen an advert on ITV racing for PP saying that they are doing refund if the SP wins on all races during Chelts

 

[Jon]

Coral also doing £25 refund on the first race as well

 

[jkg-jkg]

@Jon I'm sure someone mentioned that Coral offer before

If that is really a worry then you can try the following (if you are able to place lays close to the off). Place a bet on the favourite early in the day. Don't lay. A lot of the time (not always) the odds will come down on the favourite and laying nearer the off will give you a nice profit if it does win. Remember you get a free bet if your horse loses so you only need to cover the £4 loss (assumes you convert a £20 free bet to a £16 return), so if the odds have gone up near the off you have lots of wriggle room (this method is a bit of a punt, but I did this on all the favourites last year and was better off in the end)

Thanks @jkg-jkgt I was watching the odds on Saturday/Sunday and was thinking along these lines, will need to be organised to not lose track of what you’ve laid and not yet laid but nice to hear you had some success with it

I change the colour of the background cell in my spreadsheet to bright yellow for anything I haven't laid or have queued.

This method of laying before the off obviously has an element of gambling to it, but if you do go this route I would consider queuing rather than just waiting and then laying. Horses odds are very volatile - sometimes they can come in and then drift right out again within just a few minutes and if you're not watching then you'd never even know it happened.

Queueing means you'll match even if you're afk at the time the odds move. Worse case scenario is it doesn't match and you cancel the queue before the race starts and re-lay to whatever is appropriate.

This method only works on betfair right ?

No you can cancel a unmatched Lay on all of them.

You may be thinking of if the Lay matches and you want to cash out. Betfair (and now Smarkets) have a cash out button.
