Grand National – be a winner regardless of the result

The Grand National is the biggest horseracing event on the British sporting calendar and almost everyone has a flutter on a horse or two. But whether you’re a seasoned expert or a gambling novice, you can guarantee money in your pocket by earning cashback on your bets.
Betting shops Paddy Power, William Hill, Betfair and Coral are all offering cashback when new customers place a bet online via cashback site Quidco. In some cases, even if you lose your bet, you can get back more than you lost via the cashback.
• Paddy Power is offering £20 cashback to new customers who place a £10 bet.
• William Hill Sportsbook is offering £15 cashback to new customers who place a £10 bet.
• Betfair is offering £10 cashback to new customers who place a £10 bet.
• Coral is offering £5 cashback to new customers who place a £10 bet.
If you fancy a flutter with a different betting shop, there are several other merchants with special offers and cashback on Quidco for you to choose from.
Hannah Green, Head of PR at Quidco, said, “For many, the Grand National is a bit of fun and excitement and the expectation of winning is low. However, with our cashback deals, you can place a bet and still earn money back even if you don’t win.”
The Grand National is a three-day event which takes place annually at Aintree Racecourse, near Liverpool. This year, it runs from Thursday 7 April to Saturday 9 April. The most famous race by far is the steeplechase, a handicap race on a triangular track with 16 jumps, taking place on the Saturday at 4.15pm. Horses complete two circuits of the course, missing out two of the jumps on one of the circuits, making 30 jumps in total. This year, the prize fund for the riders has been set at £950,000.
