    Folks,

    Thought I saw a sign in their shop in Killester today, if you take a price and the s.p. is greater, they pay you the bigger price. Could somebody please confirm if this is just on live shows, selected races or does it cover morning prices?

    Thanks in advance

    I know for a fact that Celtic Bookmakers have this policy. Also, Hacketts have a policy where if you back a double digit winner, depending on the price, they'll add a certain amount of pts to it. Afaik, for a 12/1, they'll give 5 extra pts meaning it'll be 17/1.

    They guarantee all board prices but not all morning prices, only a couple "Best of Both Worlds" races each day. They are usually wide open races. And it's for single bets only.

    During big meets they might guarantee all races though. For example they are guaranteeing all races at Cheltenham today, even for multiples.

    I would have thought that the sign was pretty self explanatory!
    Say you go in a back Sweet Kiln @ 4/1 and after a huge gamble on Aingle D'or the price of Sweet Kiln goes out to 5/1 the bookmaker is giving you the better price. ie 5/1.

    Simple. It covers any price that you are prepared to take on your docket at the time you have the bet.

    The sign may have said 'live price' as opposed to just price hance the confusion. They have certian morning price races as best of both worlds (as in they pay better price if sp is bigger) hence the difference!

    thats what has me confused. a live price means a price from when the opening show is in until the off of a race. the price I took was before the opening show, hence was not live but from what i remember of the sign in the shop it did not distinguish between live price or any price. I might be in the shop during the week so will get a definitive answer off them.

    thanks

    Just to confirm, better price is paid on selected morning price races and any show price from opening show until the off. Therefore any morning prices not selected as better price races are not included.

    Regards
