Win/Place Betting

Close

In all races, the number of runners shall be the number of runners coming under Starter's Orders. Bets will not be accepted where the Place wager exceeds the Win wager. Win/Place 2 Leg Parlays, 3 Leg Parlays, and parlays will be settled Win to Win and Place to Place in accordance with the above.

Bets are settled to win unless Win/Place is selected. A Win/Place bet is a bet of twice the selected unit wager. It contains one bet of unit wager on the selection to Win, and one bet of unit wager on the selection to be Placed, according to the terms advertised for the event. In general, for UK horse racing, the Place part of Win/Place bets will be settled as per the following Place terms:

Place Terms

  • Handicaps of 16 or more runners, one quarter the odds, first four places.

  • Handicaps of 12 to 15 runners, one quarter the odds, first three places.

  • All other races of 8 or more runners, one fifth the odds, first three places.

  • Less than 5 runners, the place money is invested to Win.

Each Way Extra

Each Way Extra bets are considered an offset to standard Win/Place terms. In the event of scratches, if the standard Win/Place terms change, then the Each Way Extra terms will also change accordingly (including changes to the number of places available and/or the market place fraction). In the event of the number of runners in the race being equal to or less than the number of places offered at time of bet placement, then bets will be deemed no action.

Additional (Boosted) Places

We may offer additional (Boosted) places on certain horse races above the aforementioned standard terms. Where we do offer an additional place(s), we reserve the right to alter the place terms from one quarter to one fifth. E.g., if we offer 4 places in a spread race with 12-15 runners, this will be at -500 the odds and not a -400. Boosted place race terms are dependent on the number of horses that are in a race at the off. In the event of scratches and/or withdrawals we reserve the right to change the place terms offered for subsequent bets placed. In the event of the number of runners in the race being equal to or less than the number of places offered at time of bet placement, then bets will be deemed no action.

Bet Boost

Bets on scratches will be deemed no action, and when applicable, Rule 4 will apply to all remaining runners based on the odds of the withdrawn horse in the normal Win market (not the Bet Boost odds). Our Double Result offer applies to this market.

SP of the Favorite

Joint favorites count as one price, e.g., +1000 joint favorites count as +1000. Results as per the Racing Post.

Match Bets and Threesomes, Including Live In Game

All horses must come under Starter's Orders or bets are deemed no action. The horse that attains the highest finishing position is the winner (Racing Post result). Dead-heat rules apply. If both/all horses fail to finish, all bets will be deemed no action and wagers returned. Our Double Result offer does not apply to this market.

Not to Win Bets

Rules are the same as normal horse racing bets with the following exceptions:

  • SP bets are not available.

  • Only available on horses which have a Win price of +800 or less.

  • Not available on 2 runner races.

  • Double Result concession is not applied to Not to Win bets.

  • Dead-heat rules apply as normal to Not to Win bets.

  • Multiple Not to Win bets with selections from the same race are not permitted.

  • Our Best Odds Guaranteed offer and Lucky 15/31/63 bonuses do not apply to Not to Win bets.

Exactas and Trifectas

Predict either the first two or first three finishers in the race in correct order. Should any Exacta or Trifecta include a scratch, the bet will be deemed no action.
