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 for Champions Day at Ascot. Stradivarius is a big favourite for this race, and he’s a very likely winner – however that means we should have more chance of a higher profit because we should place. 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, 4th or 5th rather than win!

Search For A Song is an ideal match here. He’s actually 7.0 with SkyBet and 7.0 to lay on Betfair, meaning our set up cost will effectively only be the price of commission.

For Step 1, we place a £10 bet on Search For A Song at 7.0 with SkyBet.

Step 2 – Lay off on the exchanges:

Now that we’ve placed our qualifying bet with SkyBet, we need to lay off on the exchanges. We’ve opted for Search For A Song, so we’re going to lay it at 7.0 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 very low at only -£0.18. You need to lay Search For A Song for £10.03 at odds of 7.0 on Betfair. Now after that’s done, let’s look at our outcomes…

Outcome Bookmaker Exchange Profit & Loss
If Search For A Song Wins £60 -£60.18 -£0.18
If Search For A Song finishes 2nd, 3rd 4th or 5th Cashback £9.83 £9.83
If Search For A Song doesn’t finish 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th -£10 £9.83 -£0.17

What a brilliant position. You’re effectively getting odds of 55.61 on Search For A Song finishing 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th! That’s the best bet at Champions Day, hands down! You can see what a profitable offer this is long-term.
