Betting at Ripon

Where do I bet at Ripon?

There are three different types of betting facility here at Ripon. Each one offers something slightly different, and it can initially be an overwhelming choice. See our explanations below to get an insight into which facilities you may choose to use.

On Course Bookmakers

The bookmakers display their odds for each race and compete to offer the best price to customers. The price taken at the time of your bet will be fixed unlike betting with britbet.

National Bookmakers

We have William Hill betting points located in the Paddock and Course Enclosures offering the wide range of services and betting opportunities which you get on the High Street. Unless you ask, you will receive the odds given at the start of the race, rather than the odds at the time you placed your bet. Winning bets can be redeemed at any William Hill bookmakers for a much longer period of time than with our on course bookmakers.

Britbet

Britbet is different from traditional bookmakers, providing a pool betting service on the racecourse. Pool betting means the money from all bets are put into a pool, and payouts are determined by dividing the total amount in the pool by the number of winning bets. The fewer people that have backed your horse, the more money you win.

Britbet offer a wide range of bets from a minimum stake of £2. Some bets cover one race and other bets go across multiple races.

How to pay?

William Hill betting points will take either cash or card
You can pay for britbet bets with cash, debit card or on your mobile.

Types of bets

There are many different types of bets, from the very simple and straightforward relating to a single race, to accumulator bets that relate to different races throughout the day, and even across different racecourses!

Here are some of the most popular types of bet:

The Win

The simplest and most rewarding bet. Your horse and jockey must finish first.

eg. “£5 on number 6 to win” (6 being the number given to the horse and jockey which is represented in the race card or on the boards above the betting station).

If you aren’t placing a bet on the next race to take place make sure that you say the time of the race too.

eg. “£10 on number 3 to win in the 2.45pm race.”

Each Way

This incorporates two bets in one – you are betting on your horse to win or be placed (see below for placings). So, a £5 each way bet will cost £10 as you are betting £5 on it to win and £5 for a place.

e.g “£5 each way on number 6.”

Each way bet placings are as follows:

Up to 4 runners- no place betting
5-7 runners- 1st & 2nd
8+ runners- 1st, 2nd & 3rd
16+ runners non-handicap race – 1st, 2nd, 3rd
16+ runners handicap race – 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th

Placepot

Pick a place horse in the first six races. You can win without backing a winner.
