The idea is that prices long before the markets for an event open are much more generous than on the day of the event. For example, a mount priced at Evens on the day of the event may have been priced at 4\/1 ante post.<\/p>\n<p>Experts in ante-post betting will enjoy much greater returns than punters who leave it until the day of the race to place their bets, with the downside being that ante-post markets are not available on all events, and not all bookmakers offer ante-post betting. This page will act as your full guide to the ante post meaning, and how you can use it to maximise your betting returns.<\/p>\n<div id=\"toc_container\" class=\"no_bullets contracted\"><div

href=\"https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/\">online bookmakers<\/a>, you will be able to see the ante-post markets that they have available. Just for information, the term \u2018ante-post\u2019 comes from the French word \u2018ante\u2019 and means \u2018before the start\u2019 &#8211; just like the same term in poker and some other card games. \u2018Post\u2019 comes from the post that was erected at racecourses to signal that on-course bookmaking was now available, with punters queueing at the post to place their bets. Therefore, \u2018ante-post\u2019 simply means \u2018before the opening of the fixed betting markets\u2019.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17664 aligncenter\" title=\"Horse Racing\" src=\"https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Horse-Racing.jpg\" alt=\"Horse Racing\" width=\"753\" height=\"424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Horse-Racing.jpg 753w, https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Horse-Racing-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 753px) 100vw, 753px\" \/>\n<p>Ante-post betting is usually only available on popular racecards such as the Grand National and the Derby, and racing events like Goodwood and Cheltenham. You can, however, explore your favourite <a href=\"https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/horse-racing\/\">horse racing betting sites<\/a> to see which ante-post betting markets are available.<\/p>\n<p>In the UK, the runners for any race are usually set 48 hours before the time of the race\u2019s start. The specific market for the same race will usually open at a declared time on the day of the race. Any bets placed before that time are counted as ante-post bets, and have their own rules which will be discussed in the next section.<\/p>\n<p>Note that betting in running horse racing (i.e. live betting) does not apply to betting ante post.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Ante_Post_Betting_Rules\">Ante Post Betting Rules<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Ante-post bets differ little from bets placed on the day, but because ante-post prices are usually more generous than \u2018day of the race\u2019 prices, there are some specific rules that you need to be aware of, and in particular the three below.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#d6d6d3;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#f0f0ed;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">\n<h3><span id=\"Best_Odds_Guaranteed_Does_Not_Count\">Best Odds Guaranteed Does Not Count<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Many online betting sites now offer \u2018best odds guaranteed\u2019 on UK and Irish horse racing, and some on greyhounds too. There are two prices involved if you bet &#8211; the price at which you placed your bet, and the starting price. With \u2018Best Odds Guaranteed\u2019 or BOG, any winning bets are settled at the more beneficial price. Therefore, if you place your bet at 4\/1 and the starting price is 9\/2, you would be paid out at 9\/2.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you place an ante-post bet, the price is fixed at the ante post odds at which you placed your bet. If your ante-post bet was placed at 4\/1 and the starting price was 9\/2, you would be paid at 4\/1. You can check any site with BOG to see at which time prices become eligible. This is usually on the day of the race, between 7am and 10am.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Extra_Places_Do_Not_Count\">Extra Places Do Not Count<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Normally, if you place an each-way bet it\u2019s the first three or four finishers (depending on the number of runners in the race) that qualify as a place. Many times online UK bookmakers will offer \u2018extra places\u2019 that qualify as a place. This means that the place part of an each-way bet will still win if your chosen mount finishes fifth, or even sixth.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, if you place an each-way bet on your selection on an ante-post basis, it\u2019s unlikely that your selection will qualify for the extra place offer.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Rule_4_Doesnt_Apply_But_Rule_3_Does\">Rule 4 Doesn\u2019t Apply (But Rule 3 Does)<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Rule 3 of racing rules (called the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tattersallscommittee.co.uk\/images\/documents\/Tattersalls_Committee_Rules_on_Betting_FINAL1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tattersalls Committee Rules on Betting<\/a>) determines how many runners count as a place. For example, if the race has six runners then first or second counts as a place with a quarter the odds. If, from the time you place your bet to the race start the number of runners is reduced, then the places that qualify as a place change accordingly. This rule still applies even if your bet was an ante-post bet.<\/p>\n<p>Rule 4 of racing rules does not apply to ante-post bets though. Rule 4 reduces winnings if the number of runners that start is less than the number of runners on which odds were calculated. For example, if your chosen mount wins at 7\/1 but a declared horse fails to start the race, then your winnings are reduced by 10 pence per pound. A \u00a35 bet at 7\/1 would win (not return) \u00a334.50, and not \u00a335 as it would have done if all mounts declared had started. With ante-post betting this is not something you have to worry about as Rule 4 does not apply.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<h2><span id=\"Ante_Post_Horse_Racing_Markets\">Ante Post Horse Racing Markets<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Ante post betting is primarily related to horse racing. While the majority of horse racing meetings are available for an ante post bet, it is the biggest races and meetings that have the most ante post bets placed upon them.

This legendary race is regarded as the toughest steeplechase in National Hunt races, with towering fences such as Becher\u2019s Brook, The Chair and The Canal Turn. It is also usually the most-watched horse race in the UK each year, with a firm place on the annual racing calendar each April.

To get your new ante post career off the the best start possible, here are a handful of useful ante post betting tips that should come in handy.<\/p>\n    <div class=\"list_how_to__list_wrapper\">\n        <ol class=\"list_how_to__list\">\n            <li class=\"list_how_to__item\"><h3 class=\"list_how_to__item_title\"><span id=\"Back_Your_Mounts_Before_the_Prices_Get_Worse\">Back Your Mounts Before the Prices Get Worse<\/span><\/h3><div class=\"list_how_to__item_text\">Although ante post prices are available months in advance, they will shorten as the day of the race approaches. The horses don\u2019t just stand in the stables as they await the big day, they take part in trials and preparation runs. If a horse performs well, their odds will of course shorten, so get your bets on your fancied mounts as soon as the ante post prices are available and before they start to shorten.<\/div><\/li>\n<li class=\"list_how_to__item\"><h3 class=\"list_how_to__item_title\"><span id=\"Will_Your_Chosen_Mount_Actually_Run\">Will Your Chosen Mount Actually Run?<\/span><\/h3><div class=\"list_how_to__item_text\">Perhaps the hardest part of ante post wagering is selecting mounts (or hounds) that are going to run. Just because a horse is entered into a race does not mean it\u2019s going to be declared, although usually it does. Check owner and trainer news about any horse or dog you are thinking about backing ante post, to see if an entry is likely to be withdrawn rather than declared.<\/div><\/li>\n<li class=\"list_how_to__item\"><h3 class=\"list_how_to__item_title\"><span id=\"Start_With_the_Experts_Before_Going_It_Alone\">Start With the Experts Before Going It Alone<\/span><\/h3><div class=\"list_how_to__item_text\">If you are brand new to ante post bets, then it\u2019s probably preferable to follow the advice of leading tipsters before you branch out and start selecting your own ante post bets. There are plenty of top tipsters out there on the internet, and most are willing to hand out their ante post betting tips for free. In addition, if you are new to ante post bets it\u2019s best to keep your initial stakes low.<\/div><\/li>\n\n        <\/ol>\n        \n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2><span id=\"Where_to_Find_Ante_Post_Betting_Markets\">Where to Find Ante Post Betting Markets<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>All leading bookmakers in the UK will have ante post betting markets. All you need to do is head to the horse racing (or greyhound racing) section of the site. Most of the races mentioned will be that day\u2019s racecards, but if you hunt around a little, you\u2019ll find the ante post racing options easily enough.<\/p>\n<p>Before you place any ante post bets make sure you check the site\u2019s rules about betting in advance of declarations. Most follow the same ante post script, but it is better to be safe than sorry. Also check any site\u2019s special offers, as some will offer beneficial deals for ante post bets that you can take advantage of.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Pros_and_Cons_of_Ante_Post_Betting\">Pros and Cons of Ante Post Betting<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Like all forms of betting, ante post wagering has its positives and negatives.

id=\"Conclusion\">Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If the phrase \u2018ante post\u2019 held any mystery for you, we hope that any mystery has now been blown away. Remember, ante post usually only applies to horse racing and greyhound racing, and means betting on a race before runners are declared, which usually happens 48 hours before the race\u2019s start. It means you could enjoy better prices, but with the risk of your stake being lost if your chosen mount is not declared. If you know your horses or dogs, you could make considerable profits!<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"FAQs\">FAQs<\/span><\/h2>\n\n<section class=\"fi-faq-content-shortcode\">\n    <div class=\"fi-faq-content-shortcode__question\">\n        <h3><span id=\"What_is_ante_post_betting\">What is ante post betting?<\/span><\/h3>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"fi-faq-content-shortcode__answer\" style=\"display: none;\">\n        <p>In horse racing or greyhounds, it\u2019s a bet made before the runners of a race are officially declared, which is usually 48 hours before the race\u2019s scheduled start.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"fi-faq-content-shortcode\">\n    <div class=\"fi-faq-content-shortcode__question\">\n        <h3><span id=\"Where_can_I_find_ante_post_betting_odds\">Where can I find ante post betting odds?<\/span><\/h3>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"fi-faq-content-shortcode__answer\" style=\"display: none;\">\n        <p>Head to any leading sports betting site and you\u2019ll find a separate section with all the latest ante post odds for available race meetings.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"fi-faq-content-shortcode\">\n    <div class=\"fi-faq-content-shortcode__question\">\n        <h3><span id=\"When_are_ante_post_betting_markets_made_available\">When are ante post betting markets made available?<\/span><\/h3>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"fi-faq-content-shortcode__answer\" style=\"display: none;\">\n        <p>This depends on the popularity of the event.
