Most international bookmakers offer fixed odds betting, meaning your odds are locked in at the time you place your bet. Early futures markets are typically ALL-IN (Non-Runner No Refund). Closer to race day, markets may shift to NRMB (Non-Runner Money Back) or NRNB (Non-Runner No Bet), allowing refunds if a selected horse does not run.
Advantages of betting via international bookmakers:
• Odds are fixed at the time of bet placement
• Early futures markets often offer higher prices (but may be All-In)
• Each Way and enhanced market options available closer to race day
