Bet Boosts Features

Bet Boosts are another popular feature that racing bettors should make good use of during Royal Ascot. These are typically offered by only the bigger betting sites (who have deeper pockets!). These bet boosts allow you to enhance the odds of your chosen horses once they are on your betslip, for example a horse may be listed as 5/1 but when you add it to your betslip you will have the option to “boost” this to 11/2. Here’s a couple of the bet boost offers currently available from UK betting sites:

Betfair – Boost your odds on 3 horses every day

betfair – Promotion is available to new and existing customers aged 18 years or over. Max stake per boost token is £25, valid for 24 hours.

William Hill – Bet Boost – 3 bet boosts daily

William Hill - 3 x bet boosts on horse racing singles per customer, per day. Max stake £20 win or £20 each-way. For each-way bets, only the “win” part of bet is boosted. Player restrictions & full terms apply.



Best Odds Guaranteed

Best odds guaranteed is the king of all Betting Offers for Horse Racing and any bookmaker worth their salt should offer this nowadays.

If you are not familiar with Best Odds Guaranteed (or BOG as it’s known for short) then here’s a quick explainer:

Some betting sites will offer BOG on all UK and Irish racing, others will offer it on a few selected races, and some won’t offer it at all. When placing your bet with Best Odds Guaranteed you are doing just that – guaranteeing that your bet will be settled at the best possible odds for your selection.

For example if you place a bet on a horse and take the odds available at the time, let’s say 8/1, but then the price of your horse drifts and it eventually starts the race at odds of 10/1, you will get those odds of 10/1 as you have BOG. Likewise, if the price of your horse shortens and it goes off at 6/1 you can still watch the race safe in the knowledge that you got the better price of 8/1 because you have BOG on your bet. Read our Guide to Best Odds Guaranteed for a fuller explanation and the complete list of bookies currently offering this service.

Here’s our pick of the Best Odds Guaranteed Bookmakers for Royal Ascot:

  • Betfred
  • Bet365
  • Ladbrokes
  • Coral

Non Runner No Bet

"Non Runner no Bet” or “Non Runner Money back” as some bookmakers are now calling it, is a feature whereby if you place a bet on a horse and it doesn’t end up running in the race, then you get your money back. There can be a variety of reasons why a horse doesn’t run including it being lame overnight, sustaining an injury or refusing to go into the stalls at the start of the race. In the event of any of these and if you’ve placed your bet with a betting site offering NRNB, then you would get your stake returned to you.

You’ll want to make sure you are placing your bets with a bookie that offers NRNB, particularly if you are placing your bets a few days or weeks before Royal Ascot. The bookies usually change their markets to Non Runner No Bet one week before the race, however some betting sites will go NRNB even earlier for the big meetings like Royal Ascot – so always check with your betting site before placing your bets.


Getting the best odds on your Royal Ascot bets

When betting on Royal Ascot it’s worthwhile looking around to see which online betting sites have the best odds for your selections. You could do this by comparing the odds from a variety of different betting sites, however if this results in you placing multiple bets with multiple different bookmakers then this could become confusing and hard to manage. A simpler way to make sure you are consistently getting good value on your bets is to learn which bookmakers offer the lowest margins on horse racing, and then placing all (or at least the majority) of your bets with these betting sites only. This will help you maximise any returns in the long run – and let’s be honest, we all want that!

Royal Ascot 2025 takes place from Tuesday 17th June to Saturday 21st June. You can watch all the action live on ITV.

The main race at Royal Ascot is the Ascot Gold Cup. The race first took place in 1807 and is the most prestigious event in the British flat racing season.

The Current Favourite to win the Ascot Gold Cup is the 2022 and 2024 winner, Kyprios, trained by Aidan O'Brien, currently best priced at 4/1 with William Hill

This really depends on which horse you are looking to back. However, to get the best odds consistently you want to make sure you are betting with a low margin bookmaker. The best bookies for this would be Betfred and bet365.
