The Grand National is unique because horses often drop out in the weeks or even days leading up to the race due to injuries, changes in conditions, or trainer decisions. Betting early can give you better odds, but if your horse is later ruled out, you could lose your money—unless you’ve bet with NRNB.

With Non-Runner No Bet, you can place your bets early and lock-in value, knowing that if your horse doesn’t compete, you won’t lose out. This safety net is especially useful for ante-post betting, where markets open months in advance.

What bets will not qualify for NRNB? 

The market is available for existing and new Betfred customers, but will not apply for bets using existing Free Bet funds, bets placed on Specials markets or boosts, or Tote bets.

If you're betting on the Grand National, using Non-Runner No Bet, It allows you to bet with confidence, knowing that you won’t be left out of pocket if your horse doesn’t make it to the starting line.
