Racing’s favourite bet. Pick a placed horse in the first six races. Available at all UK and Irish meetings, every day.


Placed horses

The number of placed horses in a race depends on how many runners there are:

  • Races with 4 or less runners – Win only.

  • 5 - 7 runners – 1st and 2nd.

  • 8 or more runners – 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

  • Handicap with 16 or more runners – 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th.

Permutation
Permutation betting offers more chance to win and is available on the Placepot where you can select more than one horse in each race. Perm bets will cost more depending on the number of selections.

To calculate the cost of a perm bet, simply multiply the number of selections by each other. For example, 2x3x2x1x1x2 = 24 bets. Then calculate your total stake by multiplying the number of bets by your unit stake. For example, 24 bets x 50p = £12.
