Here’s how betting works for horse racing and greyhound events on Midnite.
🎯 General Rules
What events are available?
Races from the UK & Ireland, plus selected international tracks.
How are bets settled?
Settled on the official result (weigh-in)
UK & Ireland → first past the post applies
International races → settled on the official result only
Can I cancel a bet?
No — once placed, bets can’t be cancelled.
⚠️ Pricing Errors
If an obvious error occurs (human or technical):
Bets may be voided, or
Settled at the correct industry price
If a market remains open after the result is known, all bets will be voided.
🚫 Non-Runners & Withdrawals
A non-runner is a horse that doesn’t start the race.
Singles → stake returned
Multiples → selection void (odds recalculated)
System bets → treated the same way
📅 Abandoned or Postponed Races
Bets are void if:
The race is abandoned
Entries change
Race conditions change (e.g. surface or venue)
48-hour declarations don’t stand
If a race is rescheduled without changes, bets will stand.
🏆 Bet Types
Win Bet
Your selection must win.
Each-Way Bet
Two bets: win + place
Example: £5 each-way = £10 total
Win → both parts pay
Place → only the place part pays
📊 Standard each-way terms
Runners | Race Type | Place Terms |
1–4 | Any | Win only |
5–7 | Any | ¼ odds, 2 places |
8+ | Non-handicap | 1/5 odds, 3 places |
8–11 | Handicap | 1/5 odds, 3 places |
12–15 | Handicap | ¼ odds, 3 places |
16+ | Handicap | ¼ odds, 4 places |
🎁 Extra Places
On selected races, we may offer extra place payouts.
Example:
If a race normally pays 3 places, you may be paid for finishing 4th.
Note: Extra place offers can change if there are non-runners.
