EACH WAY

Punters who risk a few quid on a small each way bets can still win big – even if their horse doesn’t come first.

HOW TO BET

ON THE GRAND NATIONAL

The Grand National betting guide is designed to give you information for betting on the big race. We'll explain all the different types of bet available, show you selected bookmakers who have the promotional deals and how to pick a horse based on stats and form.

If you've no idea how to correctly fill-in a bookmakers betting slip or place a bet online then our video guides will show you how.

If you haven't decided who you're backing yet, it might be worth taking a looking at our runners page.

It has all the horses, form, jockey information and latest odds. Below you can see our most popular guides - just click on the images to read more about each subject.

If you already have your eye on a couple of runners then make sure you read our guide to picking a winner before you bet.

It's worth remembering that 60% of horses will not complete the race, and whilst there is nothing wrong with backing a horse because you like its name, wouldn't you rather be cheering your horse over the last fence, than ripping up your betting slip with a circuit still to go?

We can't guarantee you'll win, but we can help you narrow down the field to those horses with a chance of landing in the places.
