The Insurance bet horse racing Promotion Explained

Updated: 28/01/2023
If you are looking to cover your horse racing bets with available methods offered by the online bookmakers then read on.
What is an Insurance bet in Horse Racing?
The horse would have to place within the allowed placings payout of the race so it depends on how many horses run.
Have a look at the Spreadex bookmaker's Horse Racing markets as a further example:
In addition to Win-Only, Each-Way, Accumulators, Multiples, Forecast and Tricast betting, Spreadex's fixed odds horse racing betting service also includes Place Only, Insurance and Betting Without Named Horse markets.
Place Only Horse Race betting
This is a straight single bet on the horse to place i.e. finish in the first two, three or four depending on the number of runners in the race.
- If it finishes in the first 2/3/4 your bet wins.
- If it doesn't your bet loses.
Insurance Bet Horse Racing explained
This is a bet on the horse to win but you get your stake back (rather than losing the bet) if it finishes second or third, depending on the number of runners in the race.
As a result you get a slightly shorter price than the usual ‘to win' price.
Betting without a named horse
This is a bet on your horse to win excluding a given other horse in the race (normally the favourite).
I.e. your bet will win if your horse either wins the race or finishes second behind the horse, otherwise it loses.
