Horse racing is one of the most popular sports for punters to bet on in the United Kingdom. Whilst the big races such as the Grand National or the Cheltenham Gold Cup will always gain a lot of bettors when they roll around, even smaller meetings tend to be well-loved by those who like a flutter. One of the worst things that can happen, though, is placing a bet and seeing your horse out of the race before it’s even got going. That is why BetVictor offer the ‘Run for Your Money’ promotion, which sees losing bets refunded as cash when the horse that someone has bet on has not had a proper opportunity to try to win the race.
What Does ‘Run for Your Money’ Mean?
The most obvious question that most punters will ask is what, exactly, does BetVictor mean when they talk about a horse and a ‘Run for Your Money’? In short, it is when a horse loses any realistic chance of winning at the very start of a race. This might be because they refuse, or because they whip around at the beginning of a contest and end up facing the wrong way. There are some instances where horses have completed failed to emerge from the stall that they’re meant to be running from, meaning that all bets on them are as good as losers before the race has even got underway in any real sense of that saying.
Some horses start poorly and lose any chance of winning at the stalls even though they do emerge from them in the first instance. It is obviously a slightly vague term, but in essence if your horse doesn’t give you value for money on your bet right at the start of the race, essentially being without any true chance of winning, then those that have placed a bet on a race taking place in the United Kingdom and Ireland will find themselves in a position where BetVictor might end up giving them back their stake money as cash. That obviously means that there will be no wagering requirements and you can do with it what you wish.
Details to Think About
If you’ve dealt with bookmakers before then you won’t be all that surprised to learn that there are a number of terms and conditions that BetVictor have put in place around this promotion. For starters, your bet will not count towards the promotion if you choose to cash out or partially cash out. Similarly, you won’t qualify for the offer if you have placed a wager using a free bet or bonus. If you’ve placed a bet on virtual racing then you won’t see this offer in place, given that a computer algorithm essentially decides upon the behaviour of the horses taking part in the race and they will all at least give a good reckoning of themselves.
If you have placed a single bet then you can get as much as £100 returned to you if your horse fails to have a chance at the very start of a race. Should you have placed a multiple bet then the extra amount potentially returned will be capped at £1,000. When BetVictor offer such promotions, they cap the real cash benefit that you an enjoy at £10,000 per day. Obviously their decision is the final one, so any difficulties that you have making use of the promotion will need to be dealt with with the company directly. You won’t be able to make use of the offer if you’ve had your account suspended or told you can’t use promotions.
