Fixed-odds racing
Horse Racing Betting on Winmatch
Horse racing on the Winmatch Sportsbook is priced at fixed odds from the daily race card, covering UK, Irish, Australian, New Zealand and Indian meetings. You take the price shown when you bet, so later market moves do not change your return.
Reading the race card
The race card shows each runner’s recent form, weight, jockey, trainer and stall draw. Form figures read right to left, with the most recent run last. Ground conditions (the going) and race distance matter as much as past results.
| Form figure | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3… | Finishing position in that race |
| 0 | Finished outside the first nine |
| - | Separates seasons |
| P / F / U | Pulled up, fell, unseated rider |
Popular horse racing markets
Fixed-odds win and place prices are listed for each runner on the race card. Each-way-style bets split your stake into a win part and a place part, so a horse that finishes in the places still returns something.
The number of paid places and the place fraction depend on the field size and race type, so check the terms on each race.
How it pays
- Horse wins: both parts pay.
- Horse places but does not win: only the place part pays, at a fraction of the odds.
- Horse unplaced: both parts lose.
What moves the odds
Prices can move sharply in the final minutes before the off. Watch for non-runners.
When a horse is withdrawn after you bet, fixed-odds returns on the other runners can be reduced under the non-runner deduction rules, because the field is now weaker. The size of the deduction depends on the withdrawn horse’s price.
