Odds guaranteed bookmakers like Paddy Power and William Hill are beginning to make sweeping changes to their Best Odds Guaranteed promotion which subsequently applies on the day of the race. Some of the changes include:
Punters receiving refunds for when a horse is a non-starter.
Lay to lose guarantee worth £500 for class 1 and class 2 racing events.
Best odds guaranteed beginning from midnight on race day.
The removal of double results from the regulations.
Unfortunately, these changes only reflect the position of William Hill and Paddy Power as Ladbrokes, Bet365, and Coral amongst other odds guaranteed bookmakers all stated they do not intend to change their promotion at this time.
