3. Grosvenor Sports reloads

FOOTBALL: Useful football reloads include VAR insurance and email offers for free bets.

HORSE RACING: Excellent odds on the horses, plus possible ITV racing refund offer.

Grosvenor often email odds boost offers. Say “bet £25 this weekend, get a 50% odds boost”.

4. Space Casino – Rocket of the week

Weekly football refund offers.

Key points:

  • Pre-match single bets on a selected English Premier League fixture
  • Place a £10 qualifying bet on the ‘Match Odds’ (1×2) market on Space Casino
  • If the specific refund triggers – get a £10 refund on Monday

  3. Hope that your qualifying bet loses at Space Casino – and the refund trigger happens.
  4. Use your £10 free bet as SNR

5. Paddy Power – horse racing offers

Refund as a free bet if horse X finishes 2nd/3rd/4th to the SP favourite.

You’ll find Paddy Power money back offers at the big festival meetings.

Key points:

  • Selected horse races every day
  • Pre-race bets only, no minimum stake
  • Maximum refund of £20 per race

Strategy:

  1. Place a qualifying bet at Paddy Power
  2. Lay your selection at the exchange
  3. Hope that the refund trigger happens, so that you’ll receive a free bet
  4. Use your free bet as SNR

6. Enhanced multiples – layable

William Hill Super Odds Treble – Man Utd, Watford and Leeds all to win @ 6/1 (7.0)

Skybet Soccer Saturday Price Boost – Liverpool, Man Utd and West Ham all to win @ 5/1 (6.0)

Strategy:

  • Place the enhanced multiple,
  • Then lay at the exchange to lock-in a profit [on Betfair search for “Football Saturday ACCA”, on Smarkets look under “Football>Accumulators”)

7. Enhanced multiples – advantage play 

Certain mulitiples bets have no option to hedge the risk by laying at the exchange.

No problem when you know the back odds are higher than the implied lay odds.

All prices are subject to change as the bookies accept liabilities to a certain level.

Examples of advantage play multiples:

  • Grosvenor Sports – Liverpool, Man Utd and Chelsea all to win @ 4.0.
  • Grosvenor Sports – Real Madrid, Athletic Madrid and Valencia all to win @ 8.0.
  • Mr.Green – Man Utd, Liverpool and Watford all to win @ 2.75 [same boost available at Betsafe]

Strategy:

  1. Only bet on positive expected value (EV+) enhanced multiples.
  2. Multiply the lay odds of each selection and compare to the back odds. For example, the 188bet treble above is 106% EV at the time of writing: Napoli (1.96 to lay) x Tottenham (1.77) x Man City = 4.09.
  3. Then, divide the back price of 4.35 by the combined lay odds of 4.09 equals 1.06 (x100) gives the 106% figure.

8. Betfred price boosts

Betfred offer enhanced odds throughout the week.

Price boosts are available at midday during midweek. Also, from 0930 every Saturday morning.

Strategy:

  1. Check the Betfred price boosts.
  2. Place the arb at Betfred, then lay off at the exchange.

Hint: Betfred might restrict your liability on singles, so put your selections in +EV doubles or multiples.

9. Free bet clubs

You need to opt-in before placing bets for most weekly bet clubs.

I’ve detailed the minimum odds for qualifying bets. Free bets are usually credited by Monday.

Skybet: Opt-in, then bet £25 at odds of 2.0 or higher. You will receive a £5 free bet.

Paddy Power: Opt-in, bet 5 x £10 at 1.50, get £10 free get.

Unibet: Opt-in, place five £10 in-play bets at odds of 2.00 or higher to earn a £10 in-play free bet. (ensure that your qualifying bets are on either tennis, cricket, darts or basketball).

These regular offers are an easy few quid to build your bankroll.

10. Casino free spins

You may need to opt-in before participating.

Gala Casino, Gala Bingo and William Hill often have zero wagering on free spins winnings. So, if you hit a win, the cash is all yours!

11. Televised racing offers

12. Betfred DDHH

Double Delight/Hat-trick Heaven (DDHH) is simple. Place a bet in the First Goalscorer market at Betfred. If your selection scores first, then a second goal, you’ll get paid at double the odds. If your player scores a third goal – Betfred will payout treble the odds.

  2. Place a lay bet in the first goalscorer market at the exchange
  3. Then, hope to trigger a double or triple payout

See the Double Delight Hat Trick Heaven guide for more details and strategy

13. Paddy Power money back

Refund on losing bets if a specific outcome occurs.

For example, “refund if team A beat team B”.

Key points:

  • The offer applies to selected markets: first goalscorer, correct score, anytime goalscorer, and WhatOddsPaddy
  • Maximum free bet refund is £10 per customer
  • This offer is available online and in shops

Strategy:

  1. Opt-in, then place a qualifying bet on one of the selected markets
  2. Lay off at the exchange
  3. If the refund triggers (e.g team A win the match) you will receive a free bet up to £10
  4. Use your free bet as SNR

14. Low-risk casino offers

Low-risk casino offers are not risk-free. Unlike traditional matched betting, you need to accept some risk to make a profit.

A typical low-risk offer might be:

  • “Bet £10 on slot games to earn 10 free spins”.

You might be up or down after spending £10 on slots. However, the free spins give a mathematical advantage over the bookie in the long-term.

The idea is to focus on the long-term outcome across many offers.

15. Horse extra places

You’ll often see extra place offers on big horse racing meetings. On Saturday 19th January 2019, William Hill paid 5 places on the 10-runner 2.25 Ascot race.

Paddy Power offers daily extra place races. Expect 4 or 5 places at 1/5 odds each-way in 11+ runner races.

16. SportNation – First Five Early Payout 

If your team scores first in the first 5 minutes (until 4.59 on the game clock), get paid as a winner regardless of the match result.

Key points:

  • Selected football matches

Cash winnings get credited within 24 hours.

Strategy:

  1. Opt-in, then place a qualifying bet on either team to win in the Match Odds (1×2) market up to £1,000. Bets on the draw do not qualify.
  2. Lay off your selection in the Match Odds market at the exchange
  3. If your team scores up to 04.59 on the match clock but doesn’t win, both SportNation and the exchange payout as a winner.

17. Bet365 racing refund

See Bet365 4/1 offer guide for full details.

Live ITV races and certain feature races qualify for the offer. Back a winner at 4/1 or higher, get a risk-free bet on the next race.

A popular promotion, especially on televised horse racing.

18. Virtual sports

The Virtual Grand National showed the popularity of virtual sports.

The bookies try to entice customers to bet on virtual events. Matched bettors can exploit this. Look out for potential offers such as:

  • “Bet £5 on virtual sports to earn a £5 free bet”

It’s not possible to lay virtual bets at the exchange. ‘Advantage play’ (no lay) your qualifying bet because you’ll earn a £5 free bet anyway.

19. Betting shop arbitrage

This requires a bit more effort than online matched betting.

Get active and visit the retail betting shops. Our shop arbitrage guide details how to do sharbing.

20. ACCA insurance

Accumulator insurance is a nifty little promotion.

  • Place an accumulator bet with 5 (or more) selections.
  • The bookie will a refund (as a free bet) your bet stake if one selection loses.

That’s all for this monster post! We’ve featured 20 great matched betting reload offers. Whether you prefer football, horses, or casino, there’s something for everyone.

    Great list! William Hill’s Golden Goal offer is another one well worth looking out for. Similar to 2up, you get paid out if your team scores first even if in the end they draw or lose. Potential to win both the back and lay bets if this happens, or you can cash out early for a smaller guaranteed profit if your team scores first.
