Grand National<\/strong>,<\/a> it not only serves as a trial for the following year\u2019s world's greatest steeplechase, but also makes for some of the finest jump racing in equestrian sport.<\/p>\n\n\n Outright Betting\n <\/h3>\n \n\n
\n Outright betting is the obvious wager to start with when we discuss horse racing, and so it is with the Scottish Grand National. With 30 runners taking on 27 fences, it is clear that not every horse will make it home. But, with an outright bet on the winner, it is your job to correctly predict the horse who not only successfully navigates the course, but also finishes the race first<\/strong>. It\u2019s a simple one-off bet that requires a successful conclusion alone to trigger a payout.<\/p>\n\n\n Best betting site for outright betting: Betfred<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n Each-Way Betting\n <\/h3>\n \n\n
\n This is a 30-runner handicap and, as such, any outright single bet that you wish to wager might well be worth backing it up with a little bettors\u2019 insurance, such as an each-way bet. This way, part of your stake goes on your horse successfully finishing in the places.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n These days, what counts as a place differs from bookie to bookie because of what has become a rather overcrowded marketplace. This has led betting operators to increasingly try to outdo each other for your custom by offering promotions – one such way is by offering additional places on big races such as the Scottish Grand National.<\/p>\n\n
