To place a bet through Racing Post, you can either use your existing betting account with a partner bookmaker or create a new account. Simply select the Accounts tab on the Racing Post app to view a list of bookmakers. From there, log in to each bookmaker to manage your accounts, including deposits and withdrawals. For those interested in exploring other betting options, no GamStop casinos might offer an alternative platform.
Using the Swift Bet feature on the app allows you to enjoy the same benefits as using a bookmaker’s app, such as extra places, money-back offers, and Best Odds Guaranteed (BOG). If you’re opening a new account, be sure to check the latest free bets and registration offers to secure the best promotional deals.
Understanding Best Odds Guaranteed
Best Odds Guaranteed is automatically applied to your bets, ensuring you receive the best price for the horse you’re backing. For instance, if you place a bet at 3/1 and the odds drift to 5/1, your payout will be at 5/1. Note that this does not apply to SP (starting price) bets, which are only paid out at the starting race price.
Placing Your Bet
Navigate to the racecard of the race you wish to bet on. Select your preferred horse by tapping the odds button next to its name, which will add it to your bet slip. You can choose multiple horses to place various bets. Use the +Add Selections feature to explore other racecards and make additional selections.
Determine your stake and decide on a win or each-way bet. If you’ve selected multiple horses, choose the type of multiple bet you wish to place. You will see your estimated returns based on your total stake. Once you’re ready, click Place Bet.
Watching the Race Live
To watch a race live, a minimum bet of £1 is required. Head to the racecard and look for the Watch Live option. You can start streaming the race 2-3 minutes before it begins.
Betting Through the Website
You can also use the Racing Post website to place bets. Log in with your bookmaker accounts through the Accounts tab to manage deposits and withdrawals. Just like the app, the website offers the same concessions, including extra places, money-back offers, and BOG.
Visit the racecard for the race you’re interested in, click the odds button next to the horse of your choice, and add it to your bet slip. Multiple and forecast bets are available by selecting Add to Bet Slip and exploring other racecards. Choose your stake, decide on your bet type, and click Place Bet to finalize your wager. Watching the race live requires a minimum bet of £1, accessible via the Watch Live feature on the racecard.
