Grand National Odds
Odds for the 2012 Grand National are now available, these odds are ‘Ante Post‘ which means you won’t get back your stake if your horse doesn’t run. You might be better waiting until the final declaration stage of the Grand National before betting (Friday 13th April 2012). Once the bookmakers go ‘Non Runner – No Bet’ you’ll at least get your stake back if your horse is withdrawn.
The odds are update daily and you can use this page to keep track of the marker movers. If you’re new to betting or would like to know more about horse racing odds then scroll down to the bottom of this page for a brief explanation.

WHAT ARE ODDS?
Odds are, in essence, a very simple representation of the amount of money returned for a bet, and also signal a horses chances of winning a race. Normally the Grand National has 40 horses running in it – in theory any 1 of the 40 horses could possibly win the race, so the odds on any one horse winning should be 40/1. If you bet £10 at odds of 40/1 you would win £400! Plus you’d get your £10 stake back.
However, as you can see from this years odds above, not all horses are priced at odds of 40/1. This is because some horses in the race are known to be better than others, the really good horses attract lots of bets. Bookmakers don’t like to take lots of bets on one horse, because if that horse wins the bookmaker will lose money! So the bookmaker will offer more attractive odds on other horses in an effort to get people to back those instead. The Bookie will always aim to make a profit regardless of the outcome of the race, that’s why you see odds fluctuating right until the off.
