Horse Racing 
New Year’s Day provided the perfect example of why some punters like to play our 99s Distances horse racing spread betting market, when the six races at Fakenham made up at a massive 207 lengths (23, 14, 57, 22, 57 and 34).

For those betting on the usual Distances market, which is capped at a maximum of 30 lengths per race, the make-up would have only been 149 from a spread of 47 – 53.

So our 99s Distances (where the make-up is capped at 99 lengths) ensured buyers were able to enjoy a much greater return. Remember not all spread betting firms offer this market!

We also offer plenty of further markets that our spread betting competitors don’t, including individual race card markets, aggregate card makets, Favourites x 10, Favourite Rush, Favourite 50 Ups, Favourite Ton Ups and Squared Numbers – not to mention a full fixed odds service!

Aggregate Card Markets combine all our usual Card Markets across different meetings in a day in one overall spread for you to play on.

E.g. Our Aggregate Card Winning Distances would be the total of all the distances won by, across all races at all nominated meetings in one day. This principle applies to other Card Markets such as Double Numbers, Favourites, Starting Prices, 2nd to 3rd Distances etc.

It also applies to some of our newer Card Markets including Favourites x 10 and Squared Numbers.

As a reminder, our full range of fixed odds horse racing prices includes accumulators, multiples and each-way betting.
