Time seems to be flying this year. It feels like only yesterday we were profiting from Cheltenham, the Grand National, and the Royal Ascot.
We don't just like horse racing festivals in Matched Betting - we LOVE them.
Why?
Because, these festivals mean the bookies offer lots more free bets, money-back specials, price boosts, and extra places than normal. This can translate into lots more profits for us!
The next major horse racing festival, Glorious Goodwood, is just around the corner!
Glorious Goodwood starts on Tuesday 26th July, with 5 days of horse racing action, lasting until Saturday 30th July.
In this article, we're going to share a few top tips on Matched Betting at Glorious Goodwood. You'll also discover a brilliant guide on how to approach each day of the festival.
Who's this article for? This article is best for anyone new to Matched Betting, any of our members relatively new to doing reload offers, or for those who have never done Matched Betting during a major horse racing festival before.
TIP 1 - Mission CRITICAL! 0% Exchange Commissions.
Make sure your 0% commission is active at Smarkets and Matchbook (if eligible)
This is so vitally important to do. We really can't emphasize this enough.
If you haven't already please follow this guide to get 0% commission at Smarkets.
If you haven’t signed up to Matchbook yet, follow this guide here to get 0% commission there too.
TIP 2 - Know the Schedule
Glorious Goodwood 2022 Races, ITV Races and Highlights
When Matched Betting it is exceptionally useful to know - at least roughly - the daily race schedules and which races are considered the ‘highlight’. Although the bookmakers often run a variety of offers for us to profit from throughout the festival, several tend to focus their very best offers on either the first race of the day or the ‘highlight’ race.
Additionally, if you're a member that has chosen to regularly mug bet to try and keep your Matched Betting accounts healthy for as long as possible - knowing which horses and races the punters will be tending to bet on can also be super useful to know. The point of mug betting after all is to help you appear more like a punter than a Matched Bettor - so why not follow what 'the crowd' are doing?

TIP 3 - Don't miss any offers!
Missed offers = missed profits. Here's how to avoid missing the best offers:
1) Check your emails and texts regularly throughout the festival:
Watch out for private or invite-only offers from the bookies coming directly to you. They can sometimes send them last minute so try to keep an eye on these throughout the day.
If you receive a private email offer and you're not sure if it's worthwhile doing or not - the best place to ask is in the forum on the topic "Sports - Is this offer worth doing?".
Don't forget to let other members know about the offer - just in case they've received it too. You can do this in the forum in the "Offers posted by members section".
2) Follow the OffersTeamPA on the Forum:
This is essential for making top profits from reloads, in general, every single day!
How do you do this?
Open the forum then go to ‘OffersTeamPA’ here
Then click the green plus sign to follow the team and you’ll see every offer that they post in the forum and get a notification pop up each time they do.
3) 'Watch' the following Forum threads:
Another standard essential you should be doing anyway!
The topics we recommend to watch for great profits over Glorious Goodwood include:
How do you watch a topic?
By selecting the ‘Not Watching’ button on the topic and switching it to ‘Watching’
You will then get notifications pop up every time there is a new post on that topic.
Here’s an example of notifications coming from the Price Boost topic:
TIP 4 - Use Shared Liability
Remember to take advantage of Shared Liability anytime you can. Using this as much as possible will allow you to get more offers done and make more profits.
TIP 5 - Stick to what you know and can do well
Don't be tempted to jump in on the more advanced offers too soon
We all know experienced members, like Toby and Alun, will be smashing the Extra Places out on every horse racing festival they can across the year and you will undoubtedly see members sharing their 'EP Profit Booms' when their horses hit the extra place and potentially make them hundreds of pounds in one go.
If you have not already been practicing Extra Place Offers well before Goodwood AND read ALL the guides AND tips on the forum about how to do them, at this point, please don't decide to suddenly start trying to do them. Although very profitable they are considered to be an advanced type of Matched Betting offer and therefore need some investment of time to learn and master.
They are profitable to do all year round - so you don't need to feel like you're missing out. You can learn them later once you're more experienced with other horse racing offers.
Newbie Daily Strategy Guide to Matched Betting Glorious Goodwood
There are loads of profits to be made over this festival but if you’re quite new to Matched Betting it can be easy to get overwhelmed with what to do first. As always, we’re here to help you! Here's a useful strategy guide for how you could choose to approach your day.
- Do any "Guaranteed" Profit Offers first. Any easy Bet & Get offers, risk-free bets (refund if your horse loses), and direct free bets. You don't want to tie up liability (exchange balance) doing Potential Profit offers first then realize you don't have enough to do a "Guaranteed" Profit Offer.
- Keep an eye on Price Boosts. Throughout the day there will be numerous Price Boosts (enhanced odds) offers available which we can make a quick guaranteed profit from with very little effort. If the boost is on a strong favourite to win you could consider underlaying for a potentially larger profit as well.
- Tackle Horse Racing Refunds (a.k.a. ITV Horse Racing) that have the best chance of occurring. On each day there will be a full list of these offers available on the reload offers main list and on the forum under Sports, Reloads Offers > Horse Racing. The top part of the list includes offers that give you a better chance of making a profit. Complete these first before doing anything else.
- If you've not ever done Extra Places before - tackle any remaining Horse Racing Refunds. If you still have liability left over in your betting exchanges after completing all the 3 steps above, then you could consider also doing some of the refund offers that have a lower chance of occurring. (E.g. £10 free bet if your horse finishes 2nd to the Starting Price (SP) favourite).
- If you've been practicing or already doing Extra Places - tackle these first before the lower value Horse Racing Refunds (4 above). If you still have some liability left over in your betting exchanges then now is the time to get on the Extra Place Offers.
