Brown Advisory Novices’ Chase Odds
How to Bet on the Brown Advisory Novices’ Chase
The Brown Advisory Novices’ Chase is a Grade 1 race run on day two of the Cheltenham Festival. Formerly known as the RSA Chase, this three-mile contest for novice chasers regularly produces future Cheltenham Gold Cup hopefuls.
As one of the most important novice chases of the season, it attracts some of the best young staying chasers from the UK and Ireland. Brown Advisory Novices’ Chase odds are available throughout the season via horse racing betting sites and betting apps. There are several ways to bet on the race, but these are the most common methods:
Futures or Ante-Post Betting
Ante-post markets for the Brown Advisory Novices’ Chase are open months before the Cheltenham Festival, giving punters the chance to take early prices. These odds, known as 'futures' in the US, often reflect expectations based on novice chase form, pedigree, and trainer reputation.
While ante-post betting can offer excellent value, remember that selections may not run. Closer to the Festival, betting sites often provide Non-Runner No Bet (NRNB) promotions, giving your bet more protection.
Win Market
A win bet is the most straightforward wager – you’re backing your selected horse to finish first in the Brown Advisory Novices’ Chase. If your runner crosses the line in front, you win. Any other outcome and your bet is lost.
Place Bet
This is a bet on your horse to finish in one of the specified top positions – typically 1st, 2nd or 3rd. Because the Brown Advisory can feature a decent-sized field, horse racing betting sites may also offer four places, particularly in enhanced place terms.
Each-Way Betting
An each-way bet combines a win and a place bet into one. If your selection wins, both parts pay out. If it places, the place portion pays at a reduced fraction of the Brown Advisory odds (commonly 1/5 or 1/4). Given how competitive the Brown Advisory can be, this type of bet provides coverage on talented outsiders.
How to Read Brown Advisory Novices’ Chase Odds
You can usually choose between fractional, decimal and American odds formats at the best betting sites. Here's a concise explanation on how these formats differ:
Fractional odds, for example 5/1, are traditional in the UK. A £1 bet at 5/1 returns £5 profit plus your £1 stake.
