Understanding Best Odds Guaranteed
Best Odds Guaranteed (BOG) is an offer where you get the highest odds available on your horse racing bet between the time you place it and the start of the race.
Meaning that if the odds increase after you place your bet, you automatically get paid at the higher price, or if the odds shorten and you’ve “taken a price”, you’ll get paid out at the better odds.
How BOG Works
When you place a bet, the price might change before the race starts.
With BOG:
- If the odds shorten, you keep your original odds
- If the odds drift, you get the better price.
For Example:
- You back a horse at 4/1
- Before the race starts, it drifts to 6/1
With BOG, your bet is settled at 6/1 instead of 4/1.
