How to Bet on the County Hurdle
Futures
Bettors can place a wager on a horse race weeks or even months in advance via futures markets, which is also known as ante-post betting in the UK and Ireland.
Using futures markets, bettors can back a horse to win the County Hurdle well before the race at the Cheltenham Festival. The benefit of placing an ante-post wager is that it allows you to secure a better price on a horse should the odds contract in the days or weeks leading up to a race.
Some bookmakers offer a non-runner no-bet on Cheltenham races. If you place a futures bet on a horse and it doesn’t run, the betting site will issue a refund. However, check that your betting site offers this service before placing a wager.Win
Simply a bet on a horse to win the County Hurdle. If the selection wins the race, successful bettors will be paid out. Any other result and the bet is a loser.
Place
A place bet is a wager on a horse to finish in one of the top positions, such as first, second, third, or sometimes fourth, depending on the size of the field and the bookmaker’s terms.
Each-Way
An each-way bet is a two-part wager with a bettor’s stake split 50/50 between a win bet and a place bet. Should your horse win the race, bookmakers will pay out on both the win and place parts of the race. If it only places, you get a reduced payout based on a fraction of the odds (often 1/4 or 1/5).
Each-way bets are a good option for long County Hurdle odds.
How to Read County Hurdle Odds
Horse racing odds are presented in three main formats, depending on your region. Most online horse racing betting sites allow you to choose between the formats in your account settings:
Mainly used in the UK and Ireland, fractional odds are displayed as a fraction, such as 3/1 (read out as three to one).
The number on the left of the line is your profit relative to the stake, which is the number on the right.
So, if a horse had County Hurdle odds of 3/1, bettors would make £30 profit for every £10 they wagered if the horse won.
