BEST ODDS GUARANTEED
Best Odds Guarantees offered by bookmakers have proved a godsend to many horse race punters who having evaluated the field have been faced with the dilemma of choosing to take the Early Price or let it ride and wait to see what the SP will pay.
Thanks to aggressive competition between bookmakers, UK and Irish horse racing punters no longer need to concern themselves with the problem, because the bookmakers who offer Best Odds Guaranteed have made the choice superfluous. In simple terms, with bookies advertising Best Odds Guaranteed, take the Early Price on offer and rest easy knowing if the SP of your selection is bigger you’ll be paid SP.
Terms of the Best Odds Guarantee can vary from bookmaker to bookmaker, for instance there may be a limit to the maximum benefit that a customer can gain from the Best Odds Guarantee. The difference between Early Price or Board Price and SP can mean some customers can benefit by thousands of pounds, especially high staking punters or customers with successful multiple bets. So, some online bookies put in the pay out limit to help manage their financial risk on the Best Odds Guarantee.
The example by William Hill, in the comparison table above is an excellent illustration of just how costly Best Odds Guarantees can be for bookmakers and how much they can benefit the punter.
Best Odds Guarantees are generally available for UK and Irish horse racing but some online bookies have extended to offer include greyhound racing.
Best Odds Guarantee normally applies to Early Prices and Board Prices (prices coming direct from the racecourse and available from 10 minutes to 30 minutes before the off), but this can vary depending on the bookie’s terms.
There are a number online bookmakers featured on BestFreeBets.com that offer Best Odds Guarantee on their websites and we detail those bookies below along with their Best Odds Guarantee terms.

Coral says the following on its website: “Betting on a 'Best Price Guaranteed' market is basically akin to you taking out insurance on the price you have taken when placing a bet. In the past, we have built the cost of that insurance into its pricing; now we are offering you the choice of whether you want to insure your bet or not. As a result, Coral will now be able to offer even better value on our standard Win and Each Way market, while still offering you the chance to bet 'Best Price Guaranteed'.
The normal Win and Each Way market will be displayed as the default race card on the website. If you want to bet "Best Price Guaranteed" make sure you click on the Best Price Guaranteed tab. You can also save this view as your default race card if you wish.”
