Odds on betting

    When I place a bet (which isn't often), I usually put the odds at the time of the bet on the slip - so that if the odds change, I get the odds at the time I placed the bet.

    I was told today that this makes no difference & that you are given the odds at the beginning of the race. Can anyone clarify this for me?

    It matters, because I had an each way win at the grand national today - and the odds at the time I placed the bet were 250/1, but were 100/1 at the time the race started.

    if 250/1 was available when you placed the bet and the price is stated on the docket you get that price. Most bookmakers staff initial the docket when you place the bet to confirm that the price is the price that was available at the time
