Never miss out on a bigger price. If the SP is greater than the odds you took, you get paid at the higher price. The bookmakers we list are below.
Take a Price
Back a horse at the displayed odds e.g. 5/1
SP is Higher
If the Starting Price drifts to 8/1
Get Paid at 8/1
You automatically receive the bigger price
Best Odds Guaranteed (BOG) means if you take a price on a horse and the Starting Price (SP) is bigger, you get paid out at the higher odds. It's essentially free insurance on your bet.
BOG typically applies to all UK and Irish horse racing. Most bookmakers offer it from early prices (the day before or morning of the race) until the off. Some only offer it on race day.
Yes, in most cases BOG applies to both the win and place parts of an each-way bet. If the SP is greater than your price, both parts are paid at SP.
No, BOG does not apply to ante-post bets. It only applies to bets placed on the day of the race (or from early prices the day before, depending on the bookmaker).
Generally, no. BOG is typically limited to UK and Irish racing. Some bookmakers may extend it to selected international meetings on occasion.
