This price will NOT hang around. It is offered from 08:30 on Saturday 21st November on a strictly ‘first-come, first served’ basis and once it’s gone, it’s gone.

Place £10.00 on Vautour @ 2.00 = Potential profit of £10.00

Lay £14.71 on Vautour @ 1.38 = Potential liability of £5.59

Let’s have a look at our profit/loss for the two potential outcomes…

Vautour wins +£10.00 – £5.59 = £4.41 profit
Vautour doesn’t win -£10.00 + £14.41 (£14.71 minus 2% commission) = £4.41 profit

So regardless of the result of the race, we will make a guaranteed profit of £4.41 on this Coral price boost.
