BET TING WITH THE BOOKMAKERS
DIFFERENT WAYS TO BET - WIN OR EACH-WAY
The two main types of bet are win and each-way. For win bets, your horse needs to win the race outright An each-way bet is effectively two bets – one for your horse to win and one for it to be placed. So a £2 each-way bet will cost £4 A bookmaker taking each-way bets will display the terms on which they accept such bets on their board. In conjunction with The RCA, the bookmakers have introduced standard each-way terms. Bookmakers will provide these terms, or better, when offering each-way betting.
• Fewer than 3 runners - Win bets only, no places offered
• 3 or 4 runners – Win bets only Where a bookmaker wishes to depart from this default position they may offer place terms at 1/5 odds a place 1-2.
• 5 – 7 runners (inclusive) – 1/4 odds a place 1-2
• 8 or more runners – 1/5 odds a place 1-2-3
• Handicaps with 12 to 15 runners (inclusive) – 1/4 odds a place 1-2-3
• Handicaps with 16 to 21 runners (inclusive) – 1/5 odds a place 1-2-3-4
• Handicaps with 22 or more runners – 1/4 odds a place 1-2-3-4
PLACING YOUR BET
Shop around for the best odds When you have decided where to place your bet, state the number of your horse and the stake, for example “Number 4, £2 win” Listen to the bookmaker repeat the number of the horse and the stake to their clerk and hand them your money. You will then be given an itemised receipt detailing your bet and potential winnings. You should keep this safe until you have heard ‘Weighedin’ announced after the race If your bet is successful, hand your ticket to the bookmaker and they will give you your winnings

PISMO BEACH finished third in the competitive Grade 2 Newbury EBF Mares’ Novices’ Handicap Final when last seen in March and should prove hard to beat if in similar form on her reappearance. Highbury Hill has some solid form and could improve for the step up in trip, while Irish point winner Magic Gloves needed the run on Rules debut last month and should have more to offer

Hard to be confident about any of these but ROGER POL arrives on the back of a wide-margin success at Uttoxeter and while that form is probably worth treating with a degree of caution, he’s been found a good opportunity to follow up under a penalty Idem isn’t the most straightforward but is 1-1 at this track and ran well on reappearance last season so he may prove the main danger ahead of Pinot Rouge, who was in good form at this track earlier in the year
