Royal Ascot Betting Types

Royal Ascot is flat racing’s crown jewel and the betting markets are just as lively as the royal crowd. Here’s how punters usually play it at BetWright:

Win Bet

The straightforward flutter. Back a horse to win its race. If it passes the post first, you’re paid.
Example: You back your pick in the Queen Anne Stakes. It finishes first and your bet lands.

Each-Way Bet

Two bets in one. One on the win, one on the place. Perfect for Ascot’s big handicaps where longshots often sneak into the frame.
Example: You back a 25/1 outsider each-way in a big-field sprint. It finishes second, so the place part pays out even though the win part doesn’t.

Place Bet

Keep it simple and back your runner just to place. Lower risk, steady reward.
Example: You back a stayer in the Ascot Gold Cup to place. It comes third and you collect.

Forecast Bet

Pick the top two in the exact order. Tough to land at Ascot but worth it if you’ve read the form wright.
Example: You back one hot favourite to beat a lively outsider in the Prince of Wales’s Stakes. They finish 1–2 in that order and your forecast lands.

Reverse Forecast Bet

Same idea but your two picks can finish in either order. More wiggle room, same excitement.
Example: You back two fancied runners in the King’s Stand Stakes. They come first and second in any order and your bet pays out.

Tricast Bet

Go bold and call the top three in the wright order. High risk but a big payout if it lands.
Example: You back three picks in a big handicap to finish 1–2–3 in exact order. They deliver and so does your tricast.

Accumulator (Acca)

Stack multiple Ascot picks into one bet. Every leg has to win but if they all land, the payout is far bigger and you’ll be galloping with joy.
Example: You back winners in the Queen Anne Stakes, the Prince of Wales’s Stakes and the Ascot Gold Cup in one acca. If all three come in, your return rockets.

Ante-Post Betting

Royal Ascot’s ante-post markets are always busy. Get your bets in weeks or months in advance, often at bigger odds. The risk is if your horse doesn’t run, you lose your stake unless it’s “non-runner no bet.”
Example: You back a fancy at 16/1 in the spring. By the time the race goes off, it’s 4/1. Your early punt is sitting on massive value.

Key Tips for Royal Ascot Betting

Royal Ascot brings together the very best in horse racing but it’s not always the favourites who land the spoils. Here are a few things worth keeping in mind when placing your bets:

Festival Form

Some horses save their best for Royal Ascot. Always check past performances at the meeting, a proven Ascot runner is often worth serious attention.

Trainer & Jockey Powerhouses

Big yards regularly make their mark at Royal Ascot. Certain trainers and jockeys thrive on the big stage and their records in top-class races are well worth noting before you place your bet.

Course Specialists

Ascot’s straight mile and testing finish can catch out plenty of runners. Horses with proven form on the track often return to repeat the feat, so course specialists are always a good angle.

The Occasion

Royal Ascot is as much about atmosphere as it is about racing. The noise, the crowds and the occasion can lift some horses and rattle others. Temperament can be just as important as raw speed.
