Aintree Festival 2018 Offer – LeoVegas

The Aintree Festival 2018 gets underway today and you don’t want to miss this LeoVegas offer! Bet a total of £50.00 or more on the racing at Aintree on Thursday and/or Friday and LeoVegas will give us a £10.00 free bet to use on the Grand National on Saturday. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £4.41 and here’s how…

Qualifying Bet:

If you’re unfamiliar with qualifying bets, please see my Qualifying Bet Strategy page for a walk-through guide on how it should be done.

To be eligible for our £10.00 free bet, we must bet a total of £50.00 or more at odds of 3.00 (2/1) or greater on the racing at Aintree on Thursday 12th April 2018 and/or Friday 13th April 2018. Qualifying bets must be placed after 12:00 on Tuesday 10th April 2018, to be eligible.

Having looked at the odds available for the 13:45 at Aintree on Thursday, we could place our qualifying bet on Brain Power.

I like to place my exchange lay bets with Betfair as they have great liquidity in the run up to races and the site is really easy to use.

We can calculate our lay stakes using my matched betting calculator…

As you can see, the calculator tells us that our lay stake should be £49.38…

Place £50.00 on Brain Power @ 4.00 = Potential profit of £150.00

Betfair logo

Lay £49.38 on Brain Power @ 4.10 = Potential liability of £153.07

Let’s have a look at our potential profit/loss for the possible outcomes…

Brain Power wins + £150.00 – £153.07 = £3.07 loss
Brain Power doesn’t win – £50.00 + £46.91 (£49.38 minus 5% commission) = £3.09 loss

So, regardless of the result of the race, we’ll lose a maximum of £3.09 in qualifying for our £10.00 free bet.

Free Bet:

Our £10.00 free bet will be credited by 12:00 on Saturday 14th April 2018 and must be used on the Grand National 2018 (17:15 Aintree).

By using straightforward matched betting, we should be able to extract 75% of our £10.00 free bet as cash, so around £7.50. If we take into account our maximum qualifying loss of £3.09, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £4.41 on this LeoVegas offer!

* Brain Power didn’t win the race, resulting in a profit of £4.41 on this LeoVegas offer. *
