In play betting on horse racing is known as in running betting. Here are some of the reasons why Bet365 betting in running with the live stream feature is so good:
-
Bettors can see how the horse starts the race, to judge whether they are in good form or not.
-
Punters can watch how the horses take the jumps.
-
Bettors can observe whether a horse is on or off the bridle, to see if the horse is struggling or not.
-
Bettors can see how well their favourites are coping with the ground or course conditions before placing a bet.
Being able to judge all of these things using the live streaming feature of Bet365 in play gives horse racing punters a great chance at a solid bet.
Bet365 Cash Out In-Play
Bet365 offer bettors the opportunity to cash out or partially cash out their in play bet, on selected markets.
With Cash Out, punters do not need to wait for an event to finish, before their bet is settled. Instead, customers can opt to use Bet365's Cash Out feature to cash out their bet, usually at a reduced return, before the final result is announced.
In order for users to facilitate the Cash Out feature, it must be available and show a Cash Out figure for their bet. If they wish, users can opt for a partially cashed out bet, where they cash out some of their stake and the related winnings, but leave the rest of the stake to run its course until the end of the event.
Bet365 Cash Out is available for both in play pre match bets, on a variety of sporting events including football, tennis, horse racing, cricket and basketball, making it a great choice for in play betting fans. However, it is worth keeping in mind that the ability to cash out your bet will stop as soon as the in-play coverage stops, for whatever reason, so you will need to get your timing right if you wish to use the feature.
If you do decide to cash out your in play bet, then all you need to do is click on the Cash Out button below your selections, when you will be shown the Cash Out amount and asked to confirm your Cash Out. Remember, once you have cashed out your bet, the final result of the event will have to relevance to your bet at all, so make sure that you're sure before you commit!
