Preparing For Glorious Goodwood 2022

Matched Betting Expert
Glorious Goodwood is one of the largest horse racing festivals in the UK. It presents amazing opportunities for matched bettors!
There should be plenty of offers, including free bets, money back specials, price boosts and lots of ‘extra place races’.
In this guide, we’ll cover what to expect alongside our top tips to help you make the most of the week!
Festival Timetable
Glorious Goodwood starts on Tuesday 26th July, with 5 days of horse racing action, lasting until Saturday 30th July.

As you can see, racing starts at 13:50 each day (except Saturday where it starts at 13:05) and races are then spaced out every 30-35 minutes until 17:20 (17:55 on Tuesday).
Where possible, we would recommend waiting until the day of the races to place your bets. The best odds are often available close to the race start time, but the odds become very volatile close to the off. Bear this in mind if trying to place any bets in the final 10-15 minutes before a race. The odds will change lots!
Have Your Bankroll Ready
You know the saying: 'it takes money to make money'.
Matched Betting is no different. We need money available to complete the offers and make profit. Have as much money as possible available so that you can maximise the number of offers you complete.
You may want to leave money in the main bookies, like Paddy Power, Sky Bet, Unibet and Bet365. There is a good chance you'll need it for the festival. But, it could be a good idea to withdraw from some of the smaller bookies and casinos so it's ready to go if you need it.
You should also have a large chunk of your bankroll in the betting exchanges so that you can lay off all your bets.
Have All Bookie Accounts Open
Are there any welcome offers that you've been putting off? Have you completed all the offers in our welcome offers list?
If not, take this opportunity to do so! This will allow you to take advantage of a wider range of offers available during Goodwood.
Of course, avoid any offers with wagering requirements or multiple steps. But you could do any simpler ones.
Do Some Reading!
Even if you've never bet on horse racing before, it's not too late to prepare and make some money at Goodwood! Take this opportunity to spend a little time reading up on horse racing offers, you won't regret it.
There's no need to worry. In simple terms, betting on horse racing is like matched betting on any other sport. If you bet on a horse at a bookie, you lay that same horse at an exchange. Just like you would if you were backing and laying Man Utd in a football match.
The main things to avoid as a beginner are placing any bets in the last 10 minutes before a race. And to avoid any each way bets (such as for extra places) until you fully understand them.
Horse Racing Guide
We've created a simple guide which explains how to bet on horse racing. Plus the different types of offers that you could profit from. We also cover some key terms that it's very important that you know.
So, if you're new to Matched Betting on horse racing, be sure to check out our guide: Horse Racing Offers Explained.
Combining Liabilities
A challenge you might face is not having enough money in your exchange to complete all the offers available.
Combining liabilities is an amazing way to place many lay bets without needing loads of money in your exchange.
It will be ESSENTIAL at Goodwood if you have a limited bankroll.
If you've never heard of it, then please check out our guide: Combining Liabilities.
Extra Places
Extra places is an advanced horse racing offer that runs daily.
It can be very profitable, but due to its advanced nature, we only recommend it to experienced matched bettors.
For more information on extra places, check out our guide: How To Make Money From Extra Place Offers.
Where To Find Offers
Team Profit
We update our Reload Offers page each morning to include a selection of the day's best offers.
We pick these offers for being quick and easy, with a high chance of making a profit.
You'll also often find offers shared by the 30,000+ members of our Facebook Group.
Outplayed
The offers listed on our reload offers page are a snapshot of all the offers available.
To keep up to date with all the offers during Goodwood, use Outplayed.
Outplayed has a daily offers calendar. This shows you how to complete all the offers each day! It provides a real-time feed of all the reload offers (not only horse racing offers). You will find this invaluable for matched betting!
Outplayed provides a variety of other amazing tools. In particular, the Oddsmatcher is perfect for finding your horse racing trigger bets!
Our Quick Tips
Check Your Emails + Texts
Team Profit and Outplayed only feature offers that are available to most members.
Sometimes bookies like to send out offers which are only available to certain customers. We call these 'invite offers'.
There could be lots of invite offers during Glorious Goodwood. This makes it important that you keep an eye on your emails and texts throughout the festival.
Make A Plan
With so many offers at one time, it would be easy for you to feel stressed and overwhelmed.
You can avoid this by taking time the night before or in the morning to jot down the offers you intend to do.
This is where tools like Outplayed's Offers Calendar come in so handy. You can see all the offers that are available (and sort them by profitability). This will allow you to create a plan of exactly which offers you'll complete.
Enjoy It And Don't Compare Yourself To Others
It's easy to get stressed out or overwhelmed by everything that's going on during major events like Goodwood. It's also easy to get frustrated if you see other members making more profit than you.
But please try not to. Relax and remember that Matched Betting should be an enjoyable way to make a few extra quid from home. Don't get stressed out, don't worry if you can't do every offer, and don't compare yourself to others.
Do the offers you are comfortable with, in the time that you have available, and enjoy however much profit you make.
