How to Bet on the Jack Richards Novices' Chase
The Jack Richards Novices' Chase is part of the Cheltenham Festival; therefore, Jack Richards odds are widely available in futures betting well ahead of the race.
Futures
Jack Richards Novices' Chase odds are available in ante-post, or futures, sections weeks in advance of the race being held at Prestbury Park. The runners in the Jack Richards Novices' Chase can be uncertain, with some owners and trainers making late decisions about where to place their charges at the Cheltenham Festival. However, due to that uncertainty, users can sometimes find early value.
Bettors can also take advantage of non-runner no bet (NRNB) offers. This voids your bet if your horse does not run in the Jack Richards Novices' Chase. Always check that the NRNB promotion is available on your chosen site before using the futures or ante-post betting market to place your bets online.Win
Bet on the Jack Richards Novices' Chase winner. If your horse triumphs at Cheltenham, you'll receive a payout. Any other outcome results in a losing bet.
Place
The Jack Richards Novices' Chase has a maximum field size of 19 runners, which allows bettors to target the place market. With such a large field, betting sites expand the parameters for a horse to place beyond three to four places or more, depending on the bookie.
This allows bettors to look at horses with larger odds for a potential payout without the need for the horse to win outright.Each-Way
Each-way bets are split into two separate wagers. One part is placed on the outright win market and the second on the place market. Should your horse win the race, betting sites pay out on both the win and place part of the bet. If it only places, you receive a payout, but it is based on a fraction of the outright odds (often 1/4 or 1/5, depending on the betting site).
Each-way betting allows bettors to target bigger-priced runners with their bets on the Jack Richards Novices' Chase.
