Antepost Odds vs Day Of The Race Odds
Plenty of more clued up or simply enthusiastic horse racing fans will place bets on the Grand National winner months in advance, taking advantage of antepost odds. These are the odds which are priced up a long time in advance for the race and are often much more attractive than day of race prices. Bettors will utilise these markets in the hope their horse will enhance its form before the big day at Aintree and be a much shorter price on the day. A lot of happy punters collected their winnings on much bigger priced bets on 2024 winner I Am Maximus in April 2024, having seen the horse's odds tumble from as big as 33/1 into 7/1 SP.
However, it's not all roses with antepost betting as all the risks are heightened.
Antepost odds come with the potential for your horse to pick up an injury or skip the race for any number of reasons and your stake is not returned. Conversely, in day of the race odds you get your bet voided if your chosen horse is a non-runner. Another advantage of betting in day of race markets is the potential for extra places each-way.
In years gone by there have been as many as seven places each-way offered for the Grand National, but antepost the most you'll usually get is four or five. The potential for a bigger win in antepost punting is balanced against the security of day of the race markets, you decide which you prefer!

Longest Odds Grand National Winners
There have been plenty of shocks down the years in the Grand National. Here we detail the five longest odds Grand National winners of all time:
1. Mon Mome (100/1) – 2009
- Trainer: Venetia Williams
- Jockey: Liam Treadwell
Mon Mome produced one of the biggest shocks in Grand National history, storming to victory at 100/1. The French-bred gelding dismissed the favourite Comply Or Die by an astonishing 12 lengths. It was Venetia Williams’ first Grand National win and Liam Treadwell incredibly achieved the milestone in his debut ride in the race.
2. Foinavon (100/1) – 1967
- Trainer: John Kempton
- Jockey: John Buckingham
Foinavon famously won after a pile-up at the 23rd fence, where almost every other runner was brought to a standstill. The lightly regarded outsider, far behind the leaders at the time, avoided the chaos and galloped home to an unforgettable victory. This win was so iconic that the 23rd fence was later named after him.
3. Caughoo (100/1) – 1947
- Trainer: Herbert McDowell
- Jockey: Eddie Dempsey
Caughoo, a diminutive Irish horse, triumphed in challenging foggy conditions, leaving his rivals unable to close the gap. The victory led to controversy, as some accused Caughoo of skipping fences due to the poor visibility, but no evidence supported the claims.
4. Gregalach (100/1) – 1929
- Trainer: Tom Leader
- Jockey: Robert Everett
Gregalach stunned the racing world by leading home one of the largest Grand National fields ever assembled, with 66 runners starting the race. His win came just a year after his stablemate, Tipperary Tim, had won the race, also at huge odds of 100/1.
5. Tipperary Tim (100/1) – 1928
- Trainer: Joseph Dodd
- Jockey: William Dutton
Tipperary Tim achieved his shock victory in a race where only two of the 42 starters finished after a pile-up at the Canal Turn. This remarkable win has gone down in Grand National folklore, with the legendary remark by a friend to jockey William Dutton before the race: "Billy boy, you'll only win if all the others fall down."

Frequently Asked Questions About Grand National Odds
How To Place A Bet On The Grand National
If you're new to racing, this basic guide to betting on the Grand National should help answer some of the questions you might have. If you're not sure exactly what type of bet you want to have on the Grand National, here are some of the basics.
Don't forget though, having a little flutter on the horses should be fun and it doesn't have to be complicated. Sometimes you're as likely to have a winner by just deciding you like the name of the horse or the colours of the jockey!
Here we explore some of the basics to help you understand betting:
What your investment will return
When placing a bet, your stake or investment is the amount of money you are willing to gamble - be it a cautious £1 or a rather more adventurous £100. If you're a winner, your winnings (also known as 'returns') are calculated according to your horse's odds. So if you back a horse at 10/1 - if you place £10 on the horse at 10/1 and he wins, your winnings will be £100 and you will also get your £10 stake back, therefore your total returns will be £110.
What are the different types of bets I can place on the Grand National?
You can place various bets on the Grand National including the following:
- Win
- Each-Way
- Place
- Forecast
- Tricast
What Is Win Betting?
Is also referred as 'on the nose', and it means that you're selecting a horse to win. This is as per the example above about Monty's Pass.
Also remember that your winnings are tax free.
For the Grand National it is probably a good idea to place each way bets, as the odds of the horses are generally quite attractive - and in excess of 10/1.
Betting exchanges are slightly different to bookmakers, as you are betting against other punters. The odds that are offered tend to be higher, though if your bet is a winning one, you would be charged a commission on your winnings. With place-only betting, you usually find that another individual is prepared to offer higher odds than the bookmakers - so it may be worth keeping in mind if you want to place this particular bet.
What Is Place Betting?
You are just betting on a place alone, so if you backed Monty’s Pass to place in the Grand National, you would be paid out if he finished in any of the first four places - first, second, third or fourth.
Sometimes, bookmakers may offer additional places on the Grand National, which would give you a better chance of winning - so it may pay to shop around to find the best deal.
What Is Grand National Each Way Betting?
This gives you a win bet and a place bet on the same horse. As it is two bets, your stake is doubled, so a £10 each-way bet would cost you £20 to place - but you only need your horse to finish in the first four for it to be a winning bet.
If your horse wins, both parts of your bet are winners, and you would collect on both the win part and the place part of it. Typically, for a place, you will get around a quarter or a fifth of your main odds, depending on the bookmaker.
Assuming your bookmaker if offering a quarter of the odds - if you placed £10 each-way on Monty’s Pass, your investment is £20, and will return;
Win part - £110
Place part - £35
If Monty’s Pass was to finish second, third or fourth, you would just be paid out for the place part of your bet, which would be £35. As you have staked £20 in total, your total profit would be £15.
Are There Grand National Speciality Bets?
As this is such a major betting race, bookmakers tend to offer more unorthodox Grand National betting markets alongside the generic ones, and these can include:
- How many horses will finish the race
- All horses to jump the first safely
- The winner to be trained in Ireland
The amount of speciality of bets can vary from bookmaker to bookmaker, and it may be worth shopping around to find something which peaks your interest.
