Odds & margin
Best odds guaranteed
In horse racing: if the starting price ends up bigger than the price you took, you are paid at the bigger one.
Also called BOG
Example You take 5/1, the horse starts at 8/1 and wins: you are paid at 8/1.
- Good to know
- It usually applies to UK and Irish racing only, and some bookmakers remove it from accounts they limit.
