Spread betting on horse racing with Spreadex is about much more than simply predicting which horse will win the big race of the day.
Spread betting offers you the chance to get against as well as get with horses in a particular race and also allows you bet on a wide range of markets taking in a full day's racing or covering a full festival over a number of days.
Get with or against horses in a certain race or bet over a full meeting. See more via the links below.
To place a bet, look at the Spreadex prediction or spread on the market in question. If you think the outcome will be higher than our price, then you would buy on the spread. If you think the outcome will be lower than our price, then you would sell on the spread.
The more right you are the more you can win, but the opposite is the case if you get it wrong, as you may lose more than your initial stake.

Try our interactive widget below for examples of how horse racing spread betting works for a theoretical £10 bet on different markets. Alternatively, read on for more examples explaining how to place a horse racing spread bet. The widget shows in more detail how spread betting markets can differ in volatility. For example, the range of the outcome for a Squared Numbers spread bet is greater than for the Race Index or Winning Distances markets, which in turn are more volatile than Winning Favourites. Therefore, it is important to choose a stake level you are comfortable with for different markets. Try using the widget for different horse racing markets to see how potential profit and loss levels can vary. This will help you practice horse racing spread betting and give you an idea of how the markets work before you try for real yourself.
It’s Day 1 of Ascot, and you have a feeling that a jockey is going to have a particularly good day, so take a look at Spreadex’s Jockey Index spread betting market. That’s a bet on the aggregated performance of a named jockey over a meeting, with a win worth 25 points per race, 2nd place 10 points and 3rd place 5. Spreadex is offering a Jockey Index spread for your named jockey of 34-37 across 5 races. You buy £2 at 37. The named jockey then goes on to win 2 races, finish 2nd in 2 races and 3rd in the final race. That leaves you with a Jockey Index make-up of 75, and profits of £76 ((75 – 37) x £2). Let’s say the jockey isn’t quite so red hot, but still manages 1 win and a pair of 2nd place finishes, leading to Jockey Index make-up of 45. That would leave you with a profit of £16 ((45 – 37) x £2). However, it isn’t always going to be your day. If the jockey only managed a single 3rd place finish across their 5 races, you would end up with a loss of £64 ((5 – 37) x £2).
Going into Cheltenham you think a specific jockey’s chances have been overrated, so take a look at Spreadex’s Jockey Index spread betting market. Spreadex is offering a Jockey Index spread for your named jockey of 47-50 across 5 races. You choose to sell £2 at 47. Your hunch proves to be correct, and the jockey only manages a solitary 2nd place finish. That leaves you with a profit of £84 ((47 – 5) x £2). Even if the jockey had a slighter better day, and managed a win and a 2nd place finish, you would still end up with a profit of £24 ((47 – 35) x £2). On the other hand, if the jockey repeatedly rides to victory, and sees 4 wins in 5 races, you would incur a loss of £106 ((47 – 100) x £2).
The spread is based on points being awarded to horses in the following formats:
For races with 11 runners or less: 50 points awarded to the winning horse, 25 to the second placed horse and 10 to the third placed horse (known as the 50-25-10 Index).
For races with 12 runners or more: 50 points awarded to the winning horse, 30 to the second placed horse, 20 to the third placed and 10 to the fourth (known as the 50-30-20-10 Index).
Spreadex may give a horse a spread of 12 - 15 for a race with 12 runners or more. You would buy at 15 if you thought the horse would finish first, second or third or sell at 12 if you thought the horse would finish fourth or worse.
Favourites: For each race in a meeting we award points to the horse which is the starting price favourite based on the following: 25 points if it wins the race, 10 points if it finishes second in the race and 5 points if it finishes third in the race.
So if, over seven races in a meeting, the favourite in each race finishes third, first, fourth, first, second, fifth and third then Favourites will make up at 70 (5+25+0+25+10+0+5 = 70). In case of joint or co-favourites, the lower racecard number is deemed the favourite.
Racing Post Favourites: Based on the performance of the Racing Post favourites (as per scoring system above) as indicated by the first horse named in the betting forecast of the tabloid edition of the Racing Post.
Winning Distances: The winning distance between the winning horse and the second placed horse for each race over a meeting, aggregated.
For distances less than a length, the following applies: Nose 0.05, Short Head 0.1, Head 0.2, Short Neck 0.25, Neck 0.3, Half a length 0.5 and three-quarters of a length 0.75. Maximum winning distance per race = 12 lengths.
99s Distances: As above but with the maximum winning distance per race = 99 lengths.
2nd to 3rd Distances: The distance between the second placed horse and the third placed horse for each race at a meeting, aggregated.
Racecard Number 1s: The combined total of points scored by the Racecard no 1s at a meeting based on: 25 points if no 1 horse wins a race, 10 points if 2nd, 5 if 3rd.
Double numbers: The combined total of racecard numbers of the winning horses of all races at a particular meeting, doubled.
Stop at a winner: Number of races until a favourite wins at a meeting, x 10. E.g. if favourite doesn't win until 4th race, make-up is 40. If no favourite wins all day, make up is number of races + 1 (x 10).
Multi-mules: Aggregate sum of the racecard number of the winning horse multiplied by the racecard number of the second placed horse for all races at this meeting.
Bet on the performance of a named jockey over a meeting. For each race in a meeting we award points to the jockey based on: 25 points if he wins the race, 10 points if 2nd, 5 if 3rd.
If the jockey does not ride the intended mount but the horse still runs, then the horse still counts as if it had been ridden by the intended jockey.
The intended mount will be taken to be the horse published in the Racing Post on the day of the race as to be ridden by the jockey concerned.
If the jockey rides any horse which, according to that day's tabloid edition of the Racing Post, he was not scheduled to ride, that ride does not count for the purpose of bets on that jockey.
Don't worry about the full field in a certain horse race, instead focus on a two-horse race by playing on our horse racing Match Bets.
Our Match Bets allow you to bet on how many lengths a named horse will beat, or will be beaten by, another horse in a particular race at a meeting.
In a flat race, the maximum make up is 12 lengths. In a National Hunt race, the maximum make up is 15 lengths. The market is void if both horses fail to finish.
Note that the market can have a negative make-up if the favourite in the Match Bet finishes behind the other horse.
Our fixed odds horse racing betting service includes Win-Only, Each-Way, Accumulator, Multiple, Forecast and Tricast , Place Only, Insurance and Bet Without Named Horse options.
We offer each-way betting on all horse races on the following terms: • 1-4 runners: win only. • 5-7 runners: ¼ odds a place for 1,2. • 8+ runners: 1/5 odds a place for 1,2,3. • 12-15 runners in handicaps only: ¼ odds a place 1,2,3. • 16+ runners in handicaps only: ¼ odds a place 1,2,3,4.
Straight forecast (or SF): Composed of two selections and is a single bet prediction of 1st and 2nd in the correct order.
Reverse forecast (or RF): Composed of two selections and is a prediction for your two selections to finish 1st and 2nd in any order. It is effectively the same as placing two straight forecasts for your chosen selections.
Straight tricast (or ST): A single bet prediction of 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the correct order.
Combination tricast (or CT): Composed of a number of selections and is a prediction for your selections to finish 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in any order.
Place Only horse racing betting: A straight single bet on the horse to place i.e. finish in the first two, three or four depending on the number of runners in the race. If it finishes in the first 2/3/4 your bet wins. If it doesn't your bet loses.
Insurance horse racing betting: A bet on the horse to win but you get your stake back (rather than losing the bet) if it finishes second or third, depending on the number of runners in the race. As a result you get a slightly shorter price than the usual 'to win' price.
Betting Without A Named Horse: A bet on your horse to win excluding a given other horse in the race (normally the favourite). I.e. your bet will win if your horse either wins the race or finishes second behind the horse, otherwise it loses.

Sporting Index offers a whole host of horse racing markets. Aside from where a horse will finish in a race, you can spread bet on winning distances, jockey’s performance and starting prices, allowing you to place a bet on a race or a meeting without having to worry about finding the winner.
We offer points to horses depending on where they finish in our individual race indices. We also offer match bets between horses where you can buy or sell the winning distance between two horses in a race, regardless of whether either of them wins.
Markets are also available across a race meeting and some of the most popular ones are winning distances, favourites and starting prices.
Sporting Index makes predictions on a number of events and scenarios in a horse race or race meeting. The spread has two prices, a buy and a sell price. If you believe Sporting Index has pitched a quote too low, spread bettors would buy at the higher price, anticipating that the make-up of the market will be bigger than that price.
Likewise, if spread bettors think the buy price is too high then they would sell at the lower, believing the final make-up will be below the price they have sold at.
Here are some of our most popular horse racing spread betting markets.
A horse racing spread betting market that predicts the aggregate total of the winning margins of each race at a meeting. The maximum winning distance for a Flat race is set at 12 lengths while for a National Hunt race it is 30 lengths. This also applies should only one horse complete the race.
Distances under a length are recorded as follows: Short head = 0.1 of a length, head = 0.2 of a length, neck = 0.3 of a length, half a length = 0.5 of a length, three-quarters of a length = 0.75 of a length.
For example, at a jumps meeting at Cheltenham, Sporting Index might offer a spread on total winning distances of 70-75. You might decide to place your spread bet high at 75 for £5 per length.
In the end the winning distances made up at 82 lengths. If you had gone high at 75 you would have won seven times your stake: (82 - 75 = 7) x your stake (£5) = £35. But if winning distances had made up at just 67 lengths, the same bet would have lost you 8 times your stake (67 - 75 = -8) x your stake (£5) = -£40.
One of the most popular horse racing spread betting markets is the race index, where points are awarded to horses based on where they finish in an individual race.
The points structure varies according to how many runners there are in a race - for contests with 11 or fewer runners, points are awarded as follows: 1st = 50pts, 2nd = 25pts, 3rd = 10pts, any other place = 0pts. Races with 12 or more horses taking part score as follows: 1st = 50pts, 2nd = 30pts, 3rd = 20pts, 4th = 10pts, any other place = 0pts.
This market gives you the opportunity to back or oppose a horse, something which a traditional fixed-odds betting market does not offer.
Sporting Index might price up Bobs Worth at 13-16 points on the Race 50 Index. If you had fancied him to do well, you might buy at 16 for let’s say £2. If Bobs Worth went on to win the race he would be awarded 50pts. So, had you gone high at 16 you would have won 34 times your stake (50 - 16 = 34) x your stake (£2) = £68.
However, if Bobs Worth had finished out of the frame you would have been awarded 0pts and the same bet would have lost you 16 times your stake (0 - 16 =-16) x your stake (£2) = -£32.
This is a horse racing spread bet which concentrates on only two horses in a race, making the rest of the field irrelevant for the purposes of this bet.
Sporting Index picks two horses in a race and predicts what the distance will be between them when they cross the line. If you think one horse will beat another, then you can place a bet on this market and it doesn’t matter where in the field they finish - you are simply betting on the performance of one relative to the other. The maximum distance in a match bet on the Flat is 12 lengths, and 15 lengths over jumps. If only one horse finishes then maximum distance rules will apply.
We might pit Bobs Worth against Sir Des Champs in a match bet, with Bobs Worth favourite to finish ahead of Sir Des Champs by between 1-2 lengths.
If you thought Bobs Worth was likely to beat his rival you might buy him versus Sir Des Champs for £10 per length.
If Bobs Worth came home 7 lengths in front of Sir Des Champs and you had you gone high on the former at 2 lengths, then you would have made 5 times your stake (7 - 2 = 5) x your stake (£10) = £50.
However, if Sir Des Champs had finished 5 lengths in front of Bobs Worth, the same bet would have lost you 7 times your stake (5 lengths plus the 2 lengths you bought at): -5 - 2 = -7 x £10 = £70.
Note that it does not matter where the horses finish in the context of the race - it is simply the distance between them at the finish that counts.
This horse racing spread betting market allows you to place a bet on how the favourites will perform at a particular meeting. In this market a favourite is awarded 25pts for winning, 10pts for finishing second, 5pts for third and 0pts for any other place. In the event of a race starting with joint-favourites, Sporting Index takes the favourite as being the horse with the lower race card number.
Here’s an example. At a Newbury jumps card consisting of six races, our favourites prediction might be 61-65 points. If you had a good look at the form and decided that the favourites should perform better than we predicted, you might bet higher (buy) at 65 for a stake of £3.
At the end of the meeting, three favourites had won (25 x 3 = 75), one came second (10) and the other two were unplaced, so the make-up was 85. So, had you bought at 65 you would have won 20 times your stake: (85 - 65 = 20) x your stake (£3) = £60. But, if the favourites index had made up at only 50pts, the same bet would have lost you 15 times your stake: (50 - 65 = -15) x your stake (£3) = -£45.
This horse racing spread betting market is based on the same principle as the Favourites Index, but instead the favourites are those printed first in the betting section below each race card in the Racing Post (i.e. the horses the Racing Post betting forecast predicts will start favourite). These horses are awarded points as follows: 1st = 25pts, 2nd = 10pts, 3rd = 5pts, any other place = 0pts. If there are joint-favourites the first named horse in the Racing Post is deemed to be the favourite.
Let’s see an example. In a race meeting at Lingfield, Sporting Index’s opening prediction for Racing Post Favourites might be 62-66. If you studied the Racing Post and believed their favourites had a better chance than we predicted, you would bet high (buy) at 66 for let’s say £3.
In the end two of the Racing Post favourites won, but none of the others made the frame. So, on the basis of our scoring system, the market made up at 50. Had you gone high at 66 you would have lost 16 times your stake: (50 - 66 = -16) x your stake (£3) = -£48. However, if the Racing Post favourites index had resulted in 80 points, the same bet would have won you 14 times your stake: (80 - 66 = 14)
