Horse Racing Odds at VivatBet

Horse racing odds are a way of measuring a runner’s chance of winning a race. Naturally, there is a degree of subjectivity involved. Our experts assess the field, their form, and the track conditions to set the initial lines. Your role as a bettor is to do the same—analyze the variables and form your own predictions.

Once you’ve done your research, you can back the horse you believe will win. By studying the form, weather, number of runners, and the VivatBet odds, you can find a horse that ticks all the boxes and place your stake.

We aim to offer the most competitive racing odds possible, covering every major race from the UK, Ireland, and around the globe. That means you can log in to VivatBet anytime via desktop or mobile to get the latest odds for today, tomorrow, and future meetings. And to top it off, you can bet in a way that suits you—from specific predictions like outright wins and accumulators to flexible wagers like each-way bets.

What Are the Most Popular Horse Racing Bet Types?

If you can imagine it, you can probably bet on it with VivatBet’s in-depth markets. For those aiming for a big payoff, our VivatBet Bet Calculator does the heavy lifting, instantly displaying your potential returns.

Here are some of the most popular horse racing bet types available at VivatBet:

• Win: A straightforward bet on the horse you think will finish first.

• Each-Way: A two-part bet on your horse to either win or finish in one of the placed positions.

• Place: Back your horse to finish in the top positions (e.g., 2nd or 3rd) without needing to win.

• Forecast: Predict which two horses will finish first and second in the correct order.

• Tricast: Predict the top three horses to finish in the exact order.

What Are the Top Horse Racing Festivals and Events?

While there is always great racing to bet on at VivatBet, here are three standout events on the global calendar:

• The Cheltenham Festival: Held annually in March at Cheltenham Racecourse, this is the pinnacle of National Hunt racing. Across four days, 28 races showcase the very best jump horses, culminating in the prestigious Gold Cup on the final day.

• The Grand National: Taking place at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool every April, this three-day festival features 21 races. The Grand National itself, run on the final day, captures the public imagination like no other race in the UK and Ireland.

• Royal Ascot: Held every June in Berkshire, Royal Ascot is the most anticipated Flat racing event of the year. Spanning five days and 36 races—including eight Group 1 contests—the highlight is the Gold Cup, run on the famous Ladies’ Day.

How Do You Know What Horse to Bet On?

Deciding which horse to back is more about studying the form than picking a favourite name or colours. You should analyze recent performances, track conditions, and the horse’s preferred distance before making your selection.

Look out for helpful pointers like the NAP (the tipster’s best bet of the day) and the NB (Next Best). Keep an eye on the Starting Price (SP) to see how the market is moving. You’ll have a much clearer idea of which horse to bet on once you’ve weighed up all these factors.

Finally, remember that even after thorough research, upsets can—and do—happen when a long shot storms through the field. While it’s the exception rather than the rule, always set your stake with this exciting possibility in mind.
