Win or Each Way odds on the Grand National?

Whether you back your horse to win the Grand National or each way is a difficult choice.

With an each way bet, half your stake goes on the win and half your stake on the place part of the bet.

The advantage of backing each way is that you will receive a pay out if your horse finishes 2nd,3rd or 4th.

If you back win only then all your money will go on the win and if you land the grand national odds you will win much more than if you had bet each way. But don’t be greedy! There are 40 runners so getting one to finish in the first 4 would be a good result.
