Types of betting
Usually when betting
on a horse hace, you will find the following betting types: |
| |
|
To Win - the bet will be placed on a
horse to win the Grand National Race. The bet will be lost if the horse does not
win the race.
|
|
Each Way -This bet is placed for a
horse to come in any of the top 4 places in the Grand National Race. This bet
actually is formed of 2 bets. One bet is placed on the horse to win the race,
and the full odds apply to this part, and another bet is
placed
on the horse to come in one of the top places and only a quarter of the odds
apply this part of the bet. One Each Way bet cost therefore 2,
with 1 being placed on the horse to win, and 1 placed on the horse to come in
the first 4 places. The bet will be lost if the horse does not come in the 4 top
places of the race.

locate the horse you want to bet on from the bookmaker's offer, place your stake
(usually is minimum £2), and select which bet you are placing, "to win" or "each
way"

The winnings
|
|
To Win bet -
If the horse you put
money on wins, the stake is multiplied by the odds to calculate your winnings
and is payd along with the original betting stake. For example if a £10 bet is
placed in a horse with odds of 10-1, the £10 stake is multiplied by 10 (giving
100) and is paid with the original betting £10 stake, for a total of £110, if
the horse wins.
|
|
Each Way bet -
If the horse wins, the
first part of the betting stake is multiplied by the odds and paid with the
original stake and the other half of the betting stake is multiplied by a
quarter of the odds and paid aling with the original stake. For example a £5
stake on an Each Way bet (£10 betting stake) is placed on a horse at odds of
10-1, the original £5 stake is multiplied by 10 (giving £50) and returned with
the original bet of £5 for a total of £55. The other £5 of the bet, is
multiplied by a quarter of the odds - 2.5, giving a total of £12.5, and paid
with the original bet for a total of 17.5. Therefore if the horse wins, the
total winning will be £55+£17.5=£72.5
|
|
If the horse fails to win the race, but comes
in the first 4, the first part of the bet is lost and the second part
is multiplied by a quarter of the odds and paid with the original part of the
betting stake. For example, a £5 bet (£10 bet stake) placed on a horse at 10-1
odds, the original £5 stake is lost. The other £5 of the bet is multiplied by a
quarter of the odds - 2.5, and paid with the original £5 stake, for a total of
£17.5. |
