Best Grand National 2024 each-way bets, tips and finishing places that pay out

Millions of punters will be placing a bet on the Grand National today, and many won't have much experience of doing so.

While you may fancy going all out and putting your money on your favourite to win outright, there is the option of an each-way bet , which gives you a better chance of taking home some money.

So, how do each-way bets work and where will your horse need to finish in the 4pm Grand National race for you to win money? Here's everything you need to know.

What is an each-way bet?

If you bet to win outright, then it's all or nothing. If your horse doesn't come first, then you don't get a penny.

But, if you bet each-way, you're actually making two bets with the bookie. It's one bet that the horse will finish first and another that it will come in the determined number of places that the bookie pays out on. So, for example, if you bet £1 each-way, you've made two bets, which overall will cost you £2.

What does that meaning in terms of winnings? Well, if your horse wins at 12/1, and you put £1 on it to win outright, then you get your £12 returns plus your original £1 stake. However, if you backed it each way, then you'll still get £12 returns plus your £1 stake.

In addition, if the bookies offer 1/4 the odds for a place, then you'll get another £3 plus your £1 stake. If your horse finishes placed but doesn't win, you'll just get your £3 returns and your £1 stake back. Some bookies will only offer 1/5 odds for each-way bets but may pay out on more places.

Which horses are the best each-way bets for the 2024 Grand National?

Foxy Jacks is one each-way tip at 50/1. He beat fellow National runner Latenightpass at Cheltenham in November and is a good jumper over with some decent pedigree in big races with lots of runners.

Coco Beach is fancied by many at 33/1. He's in the form of his life and is very capable of a top six finish at Aintree today. A sound jumper who should stay the course.

Cappodanno comes into the race on the back of arguably a career best showing at Cheltenham last month, finishing fourth in a Grade One at the Cheltenham Festival last month. Pulled up a year ago, but is being backed as an each way option by top jockey Rugby Walsh.
