THE BEST SITES FOR BETTING ON THE GRAND NATIONAL

Bestbettingsites.com have reviewed the UK’s best betting sites to find the best
sites to bet on the Grand National with.

William Hill

UKGC Account number: 39225

William Hill have been a mainstay of British betting for decades, having been
founded in 1934. They offer a full range of betting markets on the Grand
National, with over 25 different markets to bet on. Their sign-up offer gives
you £30 in free bets, once you’ve wagered £10 on a qualifying bet (usually on
odds of over 2.0 or EVS)

Grosvenor

UKGC Account number: 57924

Traditionally a casino, Grosvenor have moved into sports betting, and have a
great sign-up offer – you get double the odds on your first bet, on any event.
Grosvenor also offer fast withdrawals on payouts, meaning you will get your
winnings quickly when it comes to getting your money back.

Ladbrokes

UKGC Account number: 1611

Ladbrokes have always been involved in horse racing, and back in the 1920s, had
Helen Vernet as their on-course bookmaker, the first lady to be granted a
licence to be a bookie at racecourses.

Over the years, they have diversified into other sports, but often sponsor some
of the bigger horse events and races and offer £20 in free bets when you sign up
and place a £5 qualifying bet. They also offer a range of different betting
markets around the Grand National, so look out in the weeks leading up to the
big race.

BetVictor

UKGC Account number: 39576

BetVictor was originally founded by William Chandler, who owned Walthamstow
Stadium, famous for greyhound racing. Victor Chandler took over the business in
1974 and helped grow the business into one of the most popular bookmakers in the
UK. Betvictor offer £10 in free bets on horse racing when you sign up, or
alternatively if you place a first qualifying bet on football, you’ll get up to
£40 in free bets.

You can find more Grand National betting sites at Bestbettingsites.com.


HOW MANY HORSES ARE RUNNING IN THE GRAND NATIONAL 2024?

Typically, there are 40 horses that run in the Grand National, which is cut down
from a provisional list of 80 horses.

This year, however, there are 34 horses running, in a bid to improve the welfare
of the animals. The first fence has also been brought forward to reduce the
speed at which the horses hit the first hurdle. Last year several horses fell at
the first hurdle, and unfortunately were fatally injured, meaning The Jockey
Club (who own Aintree Racecourse) have decided to make changes, reducing the
number of entrants.


HOW TO BET ON THE GRAND NATIONAL

When it comes to betting on the Grand National, you’ll often find queues halfway
down the street with punters looking to get a bet on at their local bookies.
Instead, placing your bet online is a quicker & easier way to get your bet on.

First, use bestbettingsites.com to find bookies with sign up offers; there are
usually free bets available for the Grand National.

Select a bookmaker to play with, click through to the site and create an account
with them. Use their menu to navigate to the horse racing section and look for
“Antepost” or there may be a banner highlighting the Grand National.


WHO ARE THE FAVOURITES TO WIN THE GRAND NATIONAL?

This year, the favourites to win the race are Vanillier, Corach Rambler and I Am
Maximus, although as the race gets nearer, the odds may shorten, and another
horse may be amongst the favourites.

Corach Rambler won the race in 2023, starting the race with odds of 8/1
favourite, while Vanillier finished second at a price of 20/1, while I Am
Maximus stormed to victory in the Irish Grand National in December.

Noble Yeats (16/1) is also in the running, having previously won the race in
2021, and finishing 4th in 2023, and is expected to be in with a chance again
this year. Keep an eye on the Grand National betting odds over the next few
weeks to see who is amongst the favourites.


WHERE TO GET THE BEST ODDS ON THE GRAND NATIONAL?

Having reviewed the best Grand National betting sites, bestbettingsites.com have
picked the following to get the best odds on the Grand National:

·       William Hill

·       Grosvenor

·       Ladbrokes

·       BetVictor


TYPES OF BETS

There are several different types of bets you can place on the Grand National,
ranging from which horse you think will win, or finish in the places (usually
2nd-8th for the Grand National), how many lengths the horse will win by (the
distance between the winner and the 2nd horse), what order certain horses will
finish in, what country the winning jockey will be from and more.

For most people betting on the Grand National; usually win and each way bets are
the most popular – these are outlined in more detail below.

Win

A win bet is self-explanatory; you’re betting on who you think will win the
race. If your horse doesn’t win, then you lose your stake.

Each way

An each way bet is effectively two bets – one on the win, and one to finish in a
certain number of places - most of the best Grand National betting sites offer
5,6,7 or even 8 places on the biggest race of the year. If your horse finishes
2nd or below, then you’ll get a fraction of the odds back – for example if you
have a 20/1 horse that finishes 3rd, you’ll get 1/5 of the odds, meaning you’d
get a return of £25 from a £10 bet, with £15 profit. This is broken down as £5 x
5 (1/5 of 20 is 4), so you get £20 plus your £5 stake, so a return of £25.

If your horse wins and you’ve made an each way bet, you get paid for both the
win and the place, so a £5 each way bet on a 20/1 shot would return £130.


HOW TO PICK A HORSE

Picking a horse to bet on is one of the hardest things to do when betting on the
Grand National. Some people go for the favourites, some people pick based on the
horse’s name, the colour of their silks, or just at random. We’ve detailed some
of the best ways to pick a horse to bet on below:


FAVOURITE BETTING

Due to the number of entrants in the race, and the multiple fences that each
horse must overcome, it’s not often that the favourite wins the Grand National.
In fact, since 1900, only 15 times has the favourite won the race, either as the
favourite or joint favourite, so picking the favourite may not be the best
course of action this time around.


LOOK FOR BETTING TIPS

Ahead of the Grand National, there will be 100s of Grand National tips floating
around on social media, so look for people who have genuine credentials or a
background in racing and see who they have tipped in the past and if they have
had many wins recently.


LONG SHOTS

Long shots are always a good bet - look for horses with high odds, as often they
finish in the places, meaning each way bets pay a good return. In 2022, Noble
Yeats won the Grand National at odds of 50/1, meaning a bad day for bookies as
they had to pay out huge sums in winnings.

Look for horses with odds of 20/1 or more, so if they finish in the places,
you’ll make a profit on your stake. We always recommend low stakes on high odds
horses – please only gamble what you can afford to lose, and if you feel like
your gambling is becoming a problem, seek help immediately.


BASED ON COLOUR OF SILKS

“Silks” refers to the colour of the jersey that each jockey wears. The silks are
often designed to represent the owners of each horse, and identify which horse
is from which stable. No two jockeys can wear the same silks, so if there is
more than one horse from the same yard, they will wear different coloured caps
to help differentiate between them.

Some people who bet on the Grand National will pick their horse based on the
jockey’s silks, choosing their favourite colours or patterns to help decide
which horse to bet on.


RANDOM

Names into a hat, sweepstake kits from the paper or just picking one at random
based on the name are other ways people pick their horse for the Grand National.
Often people will look for a personal connection with the name, for example does
a horse’s name contain their child’s name, the name of their favourite album or
band, or the street they used to live on growing up, so if you can’t decide on a
horse, look for the personal connection, and the victory is even sweeter when
they win or place and win you some money!


GRAND NATIONAL BETTING SITES

With so many different betting sites out there, picking the best site to place a
bet on the Grand National with can sometimes be hard to do, so below we’ve
highlighted what to look for when looking for an online bookmaker:

·       Grand National betting offers – most bookies will offer a bonus for
creating a new account, often in the form of free bets. When major events such
as the Grand National are on, there are often additional bonuses available.

·       They hold a valid licence with the UK Gambling Commission. All
bookmakers in the UK should have a licence from the UKGC, as this means that
they follow the strict policies put in place to protect players, with robust
compliance checks, customer verification, ensuring customer’s funds are safe and
more. If the site you land on doesn’t have a UKGC licence, find another site
that does.

·       Withdrawal times: find out how long it will take to get your winnings
back. Some bookmakers payout relatively quickly, whereas others can take a few
days following their own internal processes; so look for a site that offers a
quick withdrawal time.

·       Great odds: generally, most bookmakers will offer similar odds for each
betting market, but often you can get great odds, or odds boosts (where the odds
are higher) compared to other betting sites.


RESPONSIBLE GAMBLING

Betting online can be an enjoyable form of entertainment, but we are committed
to ensuring that you gamble responsibly. Please be aware of the risks associated
with gambling, and only bet what you can afford to lose. 

All of the bookmakers highlighted on this page are fully regulated by the  UK
Gambling Commission. Never sign up to a betting site that is not licenced by the
UKGC and not on GAMSTOP

When using any online gambling site, remember to set deposit and loss limits, so
that you do not gamble more than you can afford to lose. Gambling should not be
considered as a way to make money or get you out of a financial problem.

If you feel like your gambling is becoming problematic – take a break
completely, and seek help.

You can restrict yourself from using all UKGC licenced betting sites by visiting
GAMSTOP

You can also get support and advice from GamCare.
