How to Bet on the Ryanair Chase
As one of the 28 races that comprise the week-long event held annually in March, the Ryanair Chase has no shortage of betting options.
Futures
Futures or ante-post betting markets are on hand for bettors wishing to place early bets on the Ryanair Chase. As a Grade 1 event, Ryanair Chase odds are available almost all year round, and may even be active in the hours after the previous race has finished.
Betting ante-post on the Ryanair Chase can allow bettors to claim better value on their odds, given the uncertainty over the runners, form, and conditions on the day, which can be pivotal in deciding the outcome. Bettors can use promotions such as non-runner no bet (NRNB) when placing wagers on the Ryanair Chase in future markets to protect them if their chosen horse does not compete. This voids your wager and returns your stake.Win
A win bet is as simple as they come. Here, you select which horse you think will win the Ryanair Chase. If it crosses the line first, you win a payout. However, if your horse finishes in any other position, your bet will settle as a loss.
Place
Place bets offer bettors the chance to secure a payout on a wager on the Ryanair Chase without their horse having to win the event.
Place bets only require your horse to finish in the top two or three places, although this can depend on the site. The Ryanair Chase typically has a field of up to 10 horses, which usually means betting sites will pay out on the top three places.Each-Way
Each-way bets split your wagers into two parts. One part is placed on the outright win market, while the other backs your horse to place in the Ryanair Chase. If your horse wins, you'll win both parts of the each-way bet.
Should your horse fail to win, but finishes in the places, you'll still receive a payout at a fraction of the outright Ryanair Chase betting odds, usually 1/5.
How to Read Ryanair Chase odds
Ryanair Chase odds are available in three different formats. Depending on your location, horse racing betting sites will have a default format, but this can be altered in your account settings.
Fractional odds are most common for bettors in the UK and Ireland. The number on the left of the line highlights your potential profit from the amount staked, which is the number on the right.
If your chosen horse has Ryanair Chase odds of 3/1, you would make a £3 profit for every £1 wagered if your bet won the Ryanair Chase.
