That’s all you need to get started, it’s simple! Let’s go through the steps so you can get the most money.
Step 1 – Place our qualifying bet:
Use the Profit Rush Price Matcher and find the closest match. Liquidity will be excellent on Sunday afternoon on these races however it will be slow to pick up on Sunday morning. We’re going to allow for this with our selected odds. It won’t be difficult to get matched given it’s a £10 offer and not £50 or more.
Our target match for this race will be a horse towards the head of the market that isn’t a big favourite. Something which is trading 5.5 or so with Paddy Power or SkyBet, and we’re going to lay 6.0 on Betfair. The third or fourth favourite is usually ideal to place without winning for these type of offers. Remember, we need the selection to finish 2nd, 3rd or 4th rather than win!
For Step 1, we place a £10 bet on our selected horse at 5.5 with Paddy Power.
Step 2 – Lay off on the exchanges:
Now that we’ve placed our qualifying bet with Paddy Power or SkyBet, we need to lay off on the exchanges. We’ve opted for a horse trading 5.5, so we’re going to lay it at 6.0 on Betfair. We put this information into the Profit Rush Bet Calculator. You should see a screen like this:
As you can see, the cost to set up this bet is -£1.00. You need to lay the horse for £9.20 at odds of 6.0 on Betfair. Usually we could find a closer match on such a good day of racing and in fairness you probably will however as this is an example to apply to both bookmakers, we thought we’d push the lay price out a little. The set up cost is still £1 which is OK, you could probably do better. Now after that’s done, let’s look at our outcomes…
| Outcome | Bookmaker | Exchange | Profit & Loss |
| If your horse Wins | £45 | -£46 | -£1 |
| If your horse finishes 2nd, 3rd or 4th (or 5th) | Cashback | £9.02 | £9.02 |
| If your horse doesn’t finish 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th (or 5th) | -£10 | £9.02 | -£0.98 |
What a brilliant position. You’re effectively getting odds of 10.02 on your selection finishing 2nd, 3rd or 4th! That’s a very nice price and it only costs you -£1! You can see what a profitable offer this is long-term.
