Summary

This article explains how Best Odds Guaranteed (BOG) works on Hollywoodbets UK, including how to qualify, when the offer applies, and the situations where it does not. You will also learn what to check if your bet was not settled with Best Odds Guaranteed. This ensures you understand exactly when you can benefit from this enhanced payout feature on British, Irish, and South African horse racing.

Understanding Best Odds Guaranteed (BOG)

Best Odds Guaranteed is a racing promotion available on Hollywoodbets UK that ensures you receive the bigger price between the odds you take when placing your bet and the Starting Price (SP). If the SP is higher than the odds you accepted, your bet will automatically be settled at the bigger SP, giving you the best possible return. 
This applies to all British, Irish, and South African horse racing.

Process

Qualifying for Best Odds Guaranteed

A bet qualifies for BOG when:

  • It is placed on British, Irish, or South African horse racing.
  • It is placed on a final field selection (not Ante Post).
  • It is placed from 08:00 onwards on the day of the race.
  • A fixed price is taken (if no price is taken, the bet settles at SP under standard rules).
  • The bet has not been cashed out or partially cashed out.
  • The bet has not become void for any reason.
  • It is placed on desktop, mobile, or the Apps.

When Best Odds Guaranteed Does Not Apply

Best Odds Guaranteed does not apply in the following situations:

  • Tote bets.
  • Ante Post bets.
  • Bets placed before 08:00 on the day of the race.
  • Bets where no price was taken (settled at SP only).
  • Bets that are cashed out or partially cashed out.
  • Bets that become void.
  • Bets placed on special markets, such as boosted odds offers.

What You Can Get

With Best Odds Guaranteed:

  • If the SP is bigger than the odds taken at the time of placing your bet, Hollywoodbets will automatically pay out at the bigger SP.
  • For qualifying bets on races affected by a Rule 4 deduction, payouts will be made at the bigger odds after the Rule 4 adjustment is applied.

Rule 4 deductions

Rule 4 applies when horses are withdrawn from a race. Any bets placed on withdrawn horses are refunded, and payouts on winning bets are adjusted to account for the withdrawn runners.

  • Deductions are only applied to winning bets where one or more non-runners were still priced.
  • The percentage deducted from winnings depends on the odds of the non-runner at the time of withdrawal.
  • Higher odds result in smaller deductions, while shorter odds lead to larger deductions.
  • For very long-priced horses, there may be no deduction.

In essence, Rule 4 ensures that payouts are fairly adjusted when a horse in the race does not run, protecting bettors from the advantage of fewer competitors.

Troubleshooting:

Best Odds Guaranteed Was Not Applied

If BOG was not added to your payout, check the following:

  • Confirm the race was British, Irish, or South African.
  • Ensure your bet was not an Ante Post or Tote bet.
  • Verify that the SP was higher than the odds you took when placing the bet.
