New to Royal Ascot betting? Here’s a quick guide to the main bet types:

Win Betting

The simplest bet – pick the horse you think will win the race. If it finishes first, you collect your winnings at the quoted odds.

Each-Way Betting

An each-way bet is two bets in one: a win bet and a place bet. If your horse wins, both parts pay out. If it finishes in the places (usually top 2-4 depending on field size), the place part pays at a fraction of the win odds (typically 1/4 or 1/5). Each-way betting is ideal for Royal Ascot’s big-field handicaps like the Royal Hunt Cup, Britannia Stakes and Wokingham Stakes.

Accumulator Betting

An accumulator (acca) combines selections from multiple races into a single bet. All selections must win for the bet to pay out, but the odds multiply together for potentially huge returns. We’ll publish Royal Ascot accumulator tips each day of the meeting.

Ante-Post Betting

Ante-post bets are placed before race day, usually at bigger odds. The risk is that your horse could be withdrawn – no refund applies with most ante-post bets. However, the enhanced prices can offer excellent value if you’ve done your research.

Each day we’ll be publishing Royal Ascot singles and multiples bets , covering our favourite selections in a win or each-way combo. You’ll also get:

• Lucky 15s 

• Outsider & Dark Horses

• NAP of the day every morning
