How to Bet on the Pertemps Handicap Hurdle
The Pertemps Handicap Hurdle is one of the standout events on Day 3 of Cheltenham Festival. Numerous betting markets are available for wagering on Cheltenham races, and the Pertemps Final is no different.
These are the main betting markets for the Pertemps Handicap Hurdle:
Futures
Pertemps Handicap Hurdle odds are available well before the March event through futures or ante-post betting markets, available in the weeks and months leading up to the race. However, the odds are uncertain as horses must qualify for the event during the National Hunt campaign.
Using ante-post betting markets allows bettors to gain better value on their Pertemps Handicap Hurdle odds due to the uncertainty regarding the runners, their form, and the conditions on the day. Non-runner no bet (NRNB) promotions can be found on horse racing betting sites, which void wagers on the Pertemps Handicap Hurdle if your selection does not compete in the event.Win
A wager on which horse will win the Pertemps Handicap Hurdle. It's a simple process; you'll receive a payout if your selection finishes first. However, any other result will see your bet settle as a loss.
As one of the larger fields at Cheltenham Festival, bettors will have a pick of competitors from a wide range of odds, from narrow prices to large outsiders.Place
The Pertemps Handicap Hurdle averages 22 to 24 runners, making it a perfect opportunity for bettors to use place bets.
With a place bet, bettors only need their horse to finish in the Pertemps Handicap Hurdle places, usually the top three. However, the extended size of the field will often see betting sites offer payouts on the top four, five, or beyond.Each-Way
Each-way bets offer bettors the chance to split their Pertemps Handicap Hurdle wagers into two parts. The first part deals with the outright win market, and the other deals with the place market. If your horse wins the race, you'll receive a payout on both parts of the wager.
However, if your horse only places, the second part of your wager will pay out at a fraction of the outright Pertemps Handicap Hurdle odds, usually 1/5 or 1/4.
