Betting Features at Wiliam Hill

As one of the most well-established brick-and-mortar betting shops in the UK, William Hill knows racing. And they’ve included all the years of experience they’ve gained when building their online wagering platform, giving punters around the world access to all the best tracks, handicapping information and wagering options not found on any other online racebook.

Guaranteed Best Odds

So you’ve done your handicapping homework on a race being run in the UK or Ireland, and locked in your bet at long odds prior to the race – if the odds drop, you’ve got your bet secure. But what if it goes the other way, and the odds of your horse go up by the time the field sets off? Unique to William Hill, they offer a Best Odds Guarantee on almost all Irish and UK races, so that if the odds at the time you make the bet are lower than the actual starting price (SP) odds, you get paid out at the SP price if your horse comes in!
More Future Wagering

As major races like the Kentucky Derby draw closer, the contenders get sorted from the prenetenders, and in the weeks leading up to the race, future wager odds are dropping. That’s why the sooner you can get get your bet in on today’s longshot, the more it will pay when that horse emerges as the favourite.
