That's right, a select band of bookmakers are giving enhanced place terms and paying out 5 places Each Way (1/4 odds). On top of that, BetVictor have traditionally been the only bookmaker to pay out 6 places each year for the Grand National 2014, rather than the standard 4 places and, as of 19th March, they've confirmed that once again they'll have a Grand National 6 places each way offer in 2014!

That's an unbeatable proposition and follows on from the previous 3 runnings of the race.

That delivered a profitable 15/8 place return for a legion of punters who'd had the foresight to back the favourite with BetVictor. This will be the fourth time that BetVictor have gone 6 Places Each Way and 12 months ago backers of Swing Bill profited hugely as their mount finished 6th delivering a whopping 80/1 Each Way return for backers.

Why Extra Places Each Way?

Maximising the number of places paid by bookmakers for each way bets is absolutely essential when backing your selections at Aintree. After all, anything can happen as you can see here via our results page. Horses priced at 33/1 and even 100/1 place and actually win the Grand National really quite regularly! The Grand National has 40 or so runners with the standard each way terms being 1/4 odds on the first 4 finishers. Traditional High Street players Coral, Ladbrokes and William Hill quite legitimately stick to these terms therefore minimising their exposure. So placing your bets with a bookmaker that offers Grand National 5 Places Each Way or more increases your chances considerably and, year after year, produces great results. Take last year for example: punters with bet365, Boylesports, Paddy Power and Skybet received an extra place which worked well for the legions who backed Rare Bob. The 16/1 shot, who was backed heavily on the morning of the race, finished 5th delivering a 4/1 return for those who were clever enough to back 5 Places Each Way. Rare Bob backers with Coral, Ladbrokes and William Hill weren't as happy! Page last updated 07:25 5th April 2014.
