bet365 offers exensive betting on horse racing in the United Kingdom, Ireland and the United States. All the usual bets you can find in their shops are available online. So you can have a single bet on a race, straight forecast, tricast (if available), multiples, special multiple bets (Yankee, Super Heinz etc.) and so on. However, betting online is far better as you can bet on a race whilst the race is in progress which allows you to cover your bets if the race does not seem to go the way of your original bet, or if you are an expert in analysing races whilst in running, this facility is a must. bet365 also provide Early Prices for most horse races in the United Kingdom, so if you are in the know, get on early and get the early bird prices before they go much shorter.

And if you can't pick a winner, then LAY a horse to lose. Incredible facility by a leading bookmaker. This facility also allows you to hedge your bets and shop around for the best prices. If you find longer odds on a horse with another bookmaker, you can then safely lay that horse at bet365 at the shorter odds and guarantee yourself a tax free profit!

bet365 also have special Best Odds Guaranteed races where you can take an early price knowing that will be the lowest price paid out on if your bet wins. If the odds are lower, then the odds will be what you took; if they are higher, you get the higher odds even if you took much lower odds.
