Horse Racing

We are pleased to announce you can now place forecast and tricast fixed odds bets on horse racing with Spreadex.

Forecast and tricast bets allow you to bet on the correct order for the top 2 or 3 finishing positions in a race. Click the following link to find out more on forecast and tricast betting.

These bets complement our existing each-way, accumulator and multiple fixed odds bet options.

As well as fixed odds we offer a full range of horse racing spread betting markets including Card Markets covering individual races, meetings and groups of meetings on a given day.

For a reminder of how our Aggregate Card Markets work, these 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 new Card Markets including Favourites x 10 and Squared Numbers. We have added a new rule to explain these markets; rule w) on page 16 of our Sports Spread Betting Rulebook.

It promises to be a cracking weekend of FA Cup football as the Premier League’s top four contest the two ties of the round with Man City v Chelsea on Saturday and Arsenal v Liverpool on Sunday.

Chelsea shocked the Citizens with a 1-0 win in the league on Monday last week, so can Jose Mourinho mastermind another tactical master class over Manuel Pelligrini? We have the Supremacy price Man City/Chelsea 0.3-0.5.

On Sunday Arsenal will be out to avenge the weekend’s 5-1 mauling at Anfield, but will the Gunners be able to contain Luis Suarez and co this time around? We have Total Goal Minutes for this one at 146-156.
