Cheltenham Festival
There is currently 1 person viewing this thread.
I have some "free" bets after Cheltenham - the ones where you can place a bet and should your selection oblige, you get whatever winnings there are but not your stake back.
If the goal, is to maximise the certain/probable return from these bets, what's the best strategy?! For example, if I have €100 in free bets, is there a way of betting which would mean that the likely net return is more than €80?.....i.e. I'd be happy with a €20 loss!

Yes - easy - make a cuppa and take a bit of time and find a price close to exchange price...as big as possible.
Maybe a boosted price (if you can use free bets). Back the £100 at say 11 ...Lay say £85 at 11.50 . The closer the price the more value you can extract. |

Always best to churn freebies into cash first , then use the cash for a proper bet, with stakes returned.
