Traditional Bookies – bet365
Bet365 is currently the largest online bookie in the UK and deservedly so. They have a simple to use online interface, an easy sign up process and currently offer a deposit match of 200%.
This means that if you deposit £100 you’ll get an additional £200 to bet with. You’ll have to place a few bets before you can withdraw the bonus. But, (as with all the bookies mentioned on this site) they are regulated by the UK Gambling Commission and have a good reputation with few reports of bonuses being withheld.
If you’re looking to place accumulators or multiple bets, bet365 off some pretty decent combination odds.
Betting Exchanges – Smarkets
If you are looking for an alternative to Betfair for the Grand National, Smarkets has a pretty decent betting exchange offering. What makes betting exchanges better than the traditional fixed odds bookies is that you are betting against other players.
Because other players are laying odds, they tend to be better, especially the longer they are. A horse that pays out £100 on a £10 bet at a normal bookie, would probably pay out £150 on a £10 bet on a betting exchange.
They are not so good for multiple or betting on horses to place. But if you want the best odds on a horse to win the Grand National, then sign up with Smarkets.
Smarkets also offers a £10 free bet for new customers and also has a lower commission rate of 2% (as opposed to Betfair’s 5%).
Sports Spread Betting – Sporting Index
Spread betting is one of the best bookies for betting on the Grand National is not for the faint of heart. Sports spread betting is more complicated than normal gambling and is for bigger punters with a stock market traders mentality. You buy and sell prices based on outcomes and can bet on a horse losing a race as well as winning. If you are a regular gambler, then you should have tried spread betting at some point with either Spreadex or Sporting Index.
For the Grand National though it makes more sense to bet with Sporting Index if you don’t have an account already. They offer a no deposit £100 free bet for new customers to get started.
