Shop around for the best odds against your selection. When you have decided on where to place your bet, state the number of your chosen horse and the stake, for example “nimber 4, £2 win”. Listen to the bookmaker repeat the number of the horse and the stake to his/her clerk and hand your stake to the bookmaker. You will then be given an itemised receipt that gives details of the bet and shows possible winnings. You should keep this ticket safe.
If your selection wins (or, in the case of a place bet , is placed) hand the ticket back to the bookmaker for settlement. NEVER destroy your ticket until after the “Weighed In” announcement has been made. there may still be a Stewards Enquiry and the first past the post, or placed horses may be disqualified. On rare occasions even the horse coming fourth has been awarded the race.You may bet with confidence with any bookmaker on course as they operate with Administration Of Gambling On Tracks Ltd.
