How To Make Cheltenham Betting Offers Risk-Free / Lock-In Profit
As briefly said, our underlying methods to lock-in profit is Matched Betting. We use various techniques based on matched betting concept to turn bookies tasty Cheltenman Festival Offers into Real Cash Profit Risk-Free. Anybody who are already familiar with the matched betting, please skip this section.
Matched Betting – Underlying Method Of Lock-In Profit
For those who are not familiar with the matched betting at all, suggest take a look at Matched Betting For Dummies – 9 Essential Things You Should Know Before Staking Any Real Money where you will find every basic about the matched betting. However, for your quick start, I’ll briefly explain how it works by using Sky Bet Sign-Up Offer of “Bet £5 Get £20 Free Bet” as the simplest example for your easy understanding.
What we do are;
What we basically do are;
- 2 transactions of Back (bet on win) £5 on Team or Player A or Horse A at odds of 2.0 < at Sky Bet & Lay (bet on NOT win) appropriate £ (stake can be calculated by free software) on the same Team or Player A or Horse A at Betting Exchange like Betfair or SMarkets so that you cover all outcomes.
- Regardless of the outcome, your losing & winning will cancel out each other. In the real practice, usually, 2 bets are not perfectly offset due to the odds difference & exchange commission. Therefore you make a small loss called Qualifying Loss.
- But now, you get £20 Free Bets. You repeat the exact same process but using the free bet for the back bet at Sky Bet. Then, this time free bet value (minus qualifying loss) will become your net profit.
- You may be able to extract around £15 – 18 pure profit from this offer Without Any Single Risk.
- Success factor is how to minimize the qualifying loss by selecting the player whose odds gap (between Sky Bet & Betting Exchange) is the narrowest. You can use Free Odds Matcher to locate such opportunities. For the step by step process, take a look at Risk Free Betting Starting Guide (3) – How To Extract Profit from Free Bet. You will find William Hill sign-up bonus case as an example in this instruction. BTW see William Hill Cheltenham Schedule as well.
Betting Exchange
As you see in the above process, betting exchange is essential for matched betting. We discussed more detail about betting exchange in this guide. Besides, we constantly update all top 4 betting exchange latest sign-up offers & how to extract cash risk-free from each offer in this list.
Betfair Alternatives
Just in case you can’t legally or physically access to any of the above betting exchanges in your country, this guide will help you open an account of Betfair Alternatives.
Preparation & Key Tips For Cheltenham Betting
Let me list a few things we suggest you do prior to the Festival.
Bookmakers’ Accounts
It’s the excellent opportunity to rake all available bookmakers offers. So ensure you have the key bookmakers’ account, especially the ones who provide tasty offers you find in the List later. Just in case there are any bookies you haven’t yet had the account, follow the instruction we showed the above and extract all the welcome offers before taking up Cheltenham Festival Offers.
Bankroll
Given the intensity of the offer, suggest you have enough bankroll especially in Betting Exchange (s). Well, how much is enough? Depending on the target of the profit though, you may want to prepare a few thousands £ in at least 2 exchanges like Betfair & SMarkets. Anyhow, we share 1 key tactics & 2 methods to maximize efficiency of your bankroll as follows;
Basic Tactics
As kept emphasizing in this documents, you will be overwhelmed by many offers. If you have limited bankroll (or even if you have big fund), the most important approach to improve your efficiency is PRIORITIZARION. Means, you focus on High EV (Expected Value) Offers – see the 10 Horse Racing Refund Offers – Value Based Best Selection & Tactics To Win.
Briefly, never fail to take up all your eligible offers being listed later, most of them are guaranteed profit. Don’t let your money get tied with low probability, means low EV offers such as 2nd to SP, Beaten by Head, or Neck, and Faller Insurance etc.
Commission & Liability Sharing Technique
There are a few simple techniques that can save a lot of your bet exchange commission and reduce the burden of your lay liability (this is the cause to require a lot of bankroll in betting exchange). Please visit our document of How To Minimize Exchange Lay Betting Commission & Liability For Matched Betting, where you find the step by step instruction to increase your fund efficiency & improve profits.
E-Wallet
Another cause that requires a lot of fund is the time taken to withdraw the money by credit / debit card. One of the most frustrating elements of Matched Betting is the irritating moment when all of your bets win into the Bookie account, leaving your Exchange account empty. You then have the long withdrawal period whilst you wait for your funds to reach your bank account to top Exchange up again. The most effective way around this problem is to use E-Wallets and the most popular ones in the gambling industry are;
The biggest advantage of them are transaction speed especially withdrawal from bookmakers to your e-wallet account, usually within a few hours, rather than a few days of bank cards. Thus, you can efficiently use your bank.
Caution
Many bookies don't accept e-wallet as the 1st deposit to claim welcome offer. So, if you're opening the account, don't use this options. Besides, several bookies don't offer the promotion if you deposit by these e-wallets lately, so make sure you confirm Cheltenham's specific offer T&C before you deposit by the e-wallets.
Pre-Practice
In case you're a matched betting newbie, suggest you make some practice before the festival. If you start subscribing Matched Betting Premium Service that provides advanced software such as Racing Matcher, Each Way Matcher & Extra Place Matcher etc. it's a must to get accustomed to how to use it. The links I attached for each software will navigate to Oddsmonkey's explanation page. If you need more information, please take a look at our Oddsmonkey Full Review.
Profit Accumulator I introduced before also provide similar range of software, so you would like to make comparison between these 2 by checking our full review and their each sign-up offers.
Get Organized & Place Early
As kept saying, it will be a very intensity work with a lot of races filled by a lot offers. Just jot down your schedule for planned bet placements well in advance. The more organized you are, the less likely you are to make any simple mistakes, thus more profits.
Ante Post
What's ante post? According to SMarkets;
So, the Ante-Post is basically the market of betting before the final declarations are known. Then, when is the final declaration made? As usual, a bit complicated but according to BHA, usually 24 - 48 hours before the day on which the race is advertised to be run. The odds in Ante-Post market is better, but if your horse becomes non runner, your bet will be a losing bet in the bookmaker.
NRMB (Non Runner Money Back)
As we list the next section, several bookies offer NRMB (Non Runner Money Back) or NRNB (No Runner No Bet). What's it? It means, even your Ante-Post becomes non runner, bookmaker will not treat it as a losing bet but refund you. So, NRMB offer allows you to place bet at possibly better odds without losing risk. What about the Betting Exchange?
SMarket will make back bet a losing bet (once the race has been declared) and lay a winning bet. However, Betfair will make it voided bet for both back & lay. So, when you lay at Betfair, you will generate pure loss of your back bet at bookmaker if there is no NRMB. That's what I confirmed via Betfair Live Chat before, but now the another live chat with Betfair shows
Click To Enlarge
Very confusing. So, at this stage I can't clarify the Betfair's definite ante-post rule. But, the important point is as long as you get the NRMB offer, you seem to have little risk of losing any money but possibly get profit in the exchange (s).
Account Restriction - Precautionary Actions
Account restriction is the biggest problem for the advantage players. Many matched bettors seem to worry about taking too much value from Cheltenham Betting Offers, which may instantly lead to Gubbing.
Gubbing Pre-Festival
It doesn't make sense to being gubbed before such tasty period. Therefore, suggest you take a look at Smart Tactics To Avoid Bookie’s Account Restriction.
Gubbing During Festival
However, all bookies are totally overwhelmed whole through the 4 days. Given the yet tiny portion of matched bettors out of the total betting market, their priority should not be paid to locating the bonus abusers (this is what bookies describe matched bettors). Although there is no guarantee, we think it's even safer to grab value than the calm period. Anyhow, if you are gubbed, revisit the above document where you find the techniques to make money even in your restricted account.
List Of Best Cheltenham Offers & Instruction
Special Sign-Up (Account Open) Offer
SMarkets (Betting Exchange)
Offer
"£40 in risk-free bets for Cheltenham" - Given their usual sign-up offer of £10 risk-free bet, this one time special offer is extremely good. For those who have not yet opened SMarkets account, I can't see any better opportunity than this. T&C
Instruction
For extracting the offer, £10 Risk Free Bet applies to Every Feature Race at 15:30 (refer to the schedule I previously listed) for all 4 days, thus total £40. Your losing bet can be from back bet or lay bet, doesn't matter. For easier calculation, you may want to use back bet but in this case you need to add commission both back & lay (should be in other exchange because the free bet applies to Net Loss). For detail instructions, see Risk-Free Bet Guide. If you need any assistance from us, don't hesitate to contact us.
