Major races like the Grand National normally have very good ante post (well in advance) betting opportunities for those you like to take bigger risks than the rest of us. Of course the problem with placing a bet ante post is you are unlikely to get your stake back if your horse doesn’t run in the race. On the plus side the odds you get ante post are usually much higher than the odds you’ll find on the day of the Grand National itself.

So if you like taking a big chance then you might be interested in the ‘ante post’ available with Paddy Power for the 2010 Grand National.

A Standard Example Of Ante Post Rules: All racing ante-post bets are accepted and settled on a Rules of Racing basis only. Ante-post bets are accepted at quoted prices, up to and including the day prior to the event, on the basis of all in, run or not, entered or not . Therefore selections not taking part in the race/event concerned are losers. Ante-post bets are those placed at our quoted prices on horses and prior to the race becoming classed as ‘Day of Event’ (Day of event is a term used to describe the time at which overnight declarations are made, usually 10am on the day preceding the race (or two days for certain Group 1 races) for horse racing and the day of the race for greyhounds). All bets placed after the overnight declaration stage are settled in accordance with our Early Prices/Day of Race Rules.
