How we ranked the best horse racing betting sites for the Irish Grand National
Here are just some of the factors that influenced our selection of horse racing online bookies.
Range of horse racing betting markets
The best betting platforms offer a wide range of markets to cater to different preferences. It's a little bit different for horse racing as there are several meetings held every day - weather dependent of course.
Because of this, horse racing betting is available for much of the day. Even then, there's an array of markets whether it's a low-level race at a smaller course or a huge event like the Irish Grand National.
Bigger meetings and races bring far more attention and you'll notice some bookies have a huge selection of markets for each race.
Competitive odds
Competitive odds play a significant role in maximizing your potential winnings from horse racing betting. Look for bookmakers that consistently offer competitive odds compared to their counterparts.
Even slight differences in odds can significantly impact your profits in the long run. That's even more the case when you're betting on multiple selections in an exotic bet or accumulator, where you can see a significant difference in returns.
Take the time to compare odds from different bookmakers to ensure you're getting the best value for your bets.
User experience
A user-friendly interface and smooth betting experience are essential when choosing a horse racing betting platform. The website or mobile app should be intuitive, allowing you to navigate through different markets and place bets with ease.
Look for platforms that provide clear and concise information about upcoming fights, odds, and betting options. Additionally, features like in-play betting, horse statistics, and live streaming can enhance your overall user experience.
Bonuses and promotions
Bonuses and promotions add extra value to your horse betting experience. Look for bookmakers that offer attractive sign-up bonuses, free bets, or enhanced odds specifically tailored to the big events.
These bonuses can boost your bankroll and provide additional opportunities to place bets without risking your own funds. Additionally, check for loyalty programs or ongoing promotions that reward regular horse racing punters with exclusive perks or special offers.
