The Cheltenham NON RUNNER NO BET offer, that most of the leading UK horse racing betting sites have, acts as a welcome safety-net for antepost punters should their horses either not run, get injured or be aimed at other races.
Bet which bookies currently have the Cheltenham Festival offer in place and just exactly what does non runner no bet mean?
What Does Cheltenham ‘Non Runner No Bet’ Mean?
There are 28 Cheltenham Festival races over the four-day meeting and with betting on most of them all-year-round, this means horse racing punters can wager months and weeks in advance of the actual races.
However, this way of betting, which is called Antepost, has several pitfalls – mainly surrounding if the horse you’ve bet on weeks before the race will actually run?
The normal horse racing antepost betting rules state that if your horse doesn’t run, it’s deemed a losing bet and the bookies keep your stake.
This problem for punters is highlighted ten-fold when it comes to the Cheltenham Festival – mainly because a lot of horses have the option to run in more than one race.
Big trainers like Willie Mullins, Gordon Elliott, Paul Nicholls and Nicky Henderson – along with their powerful owners – often like to keep their cards close to their chests before saying for sure which races some of their runners will run in.
Yes, of course, star names like last year’s Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Galopin Des Champs and the current Champion Hurdler – Constitution Hill – will only have one target race, but the Cheltenham non runner no offer also helps with these horses, should they get injured in the build-up.
Non Runner No Bet Gives Cheltenham Festival Punters a Betting Safety Net
With that in mind and in a bid to win more business, the best UK horse racing betting sites will often have an offer called ‘NON RUNNER NO BET’ in place in the weeks leading up to the Cheltenham Festival.
Meaning, if you have a bet on a horse and it either runs in another race, gets injured or just doesn’t run full stop – they will refund your stake.
Therefore, this gives Cheltenham punters the freedom of wagering on the biggest four days of jumps racing. Knowing they will be refunded for any non-runners.
Note, however, if you bet on a horse in a certain race and it runs in another Cheltenham contest – this bet will be refunded, and the bet won’t stay with the horse no matter what race it runs in (if that makes sense).
With that in mind, let’s take a look at the best Cheltenham non runner, no bet bookmakers for 2024.
