The Grand National is the biggest horse race in the world with millions of us every year placing an each way wager.

But not all each way bets on the Grand National are the same. Some online bookmakers offer up extended each way place terms, whereby they pay out a higher number of the placed finishers.

PLEASE NOTE: As the Grand National approaches, most bookmakers reduce or in some cases completely remove their new customer sign-up offer. If you’re reading this well in advance of the race then it will likely benefit you to register your account beforehand, visit the bookmakers listed above for latest offers using the links provided.

The Grand National has 40 runners each year and the most popular form of betting is an each way bet, but why would 8 place terms be so beneficial?

With an each way bet, what you’re actually doing is placing 2 bets: one that’s win only, and another that is for the horse to finish in the paying places, so your total stake is doubled. For instance, a £10 each way bet would cost you £20 in total. The number of paying places is important for the Grand National as the industry standard is just 4 places.

Now 7 places each way is usually offered by a select bookmaker each year. 2019 saw Unibet offer 7 places each way for the first time ever, and 2021 saw only Boylesports offer 7 places each way at 1/5 odds terms. So if any leading bookmaker offers 8 places each way at the 2022 Grand National it will be a first in bookmaking history. Secondly horses finishing 2nd to 8th will all receive a place payout, over and above the winner.

With some bookmakers being as short as 5 places each way at 1/5 odds the place in 2022, you can see why backing any selection with at 8 places each way, if available in 2023, would be some beneficial.

This comparison is for online each way terms on Grand National day – each way places offered in shops for the Grand National may be different, as are terms offered in the Ante-Post market or before race day itself.
