The higher your horse finishes, the more you get
bet365’s Position Payout feature pays out based on where your selection finishes — not just whether it wins. The higher your horse places, the higher your return, giving every bet more ways to land a payout across the whole card.
Day 1 handicaps also benefit from enhanced each-way terms, with bet365 offering up to 5 or even 6 places on selected races.
Pat Cooney — bet365 Racing Trading
“In recent years the Royal meeting has proved to be punter-friendly, with many winners being prominent in the betting. There is a good chance that will be the case again this year as the likely fast ground tends to eliminate shock results.”
“The handicaps nowadays offer enhanced each-way betting terms, and in some races bet365 will be offering five or even six places.”
