Ante-post betting is very popular on the big races because it gives you an opportunity to lock in some big prices by getting your bets on before everyone else does.

It’s like jumping the queue – and who wouldn’t want to do that?

The thing is, if you wait until the week of the Cheltenham festival itself, other punters will probably have figured out that the horse is a good thing, and they’ll have started backing it too. This brings the price down. So usually in cases like this, the sooner you get your bet on, the better odds you’ll get.

However, the risk is that if your horse is withdrawn, you would normally lose your bet. But the good news is that won’t be an issue at his year’s Cheltenham festival, thanks to the following ante-post betting offers.

You can get all the advantages of a big price ante-post bet, with none of the downside!

Here you can see the bookies that offer Non Runner No Bet on ante-post bets, plus all the other Cheltenham offers…

With Non-Runner No Bet any bets placed on the Win and Each Way market will be refunded if your selection does not run. In multiple bets if a selection does not run, that part of the bet will be deemed a non-runner.

With Best Odds Guaranteed you can take the price on your selection and if the SP is bigger at the time of the race you will be paid out at the bigger odds.
