It’s the Greatwood Gold Cup at Newbury on Saturday and you don’t want to miss this Virgin Bet Money Back Special! Simply place a bet on the 15:15 at Newbury and if it loses, Virgin Bet will refund our stake as a free bet, up to a maximum of £10.00. Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £6.20 and here’s how…

Key Terms:

  • Qualifying bets must be placed on the Greatwood Gold Cup.
  • Qualifying bets must be placed before 15:15 (race-off) on Saturday 29th February 2020.
  • If our bet loses, Virgin Bet will refund our stake as a free bet, up to a maximum of £10.00.

Qualifying Bet:

Losing stakes are refunded as a free bet, so this is effectively a risk-free bet offer.

We’ll need to select a horse with long odds in order to maximise our profit.

Having looked at the odds available, we could place our qualifying bet on Gala Ball.

At the time of writing, laying our bet with Betfair gives us the largest guaranteed profit.
