Horse betting question

[superwomble]

I've been looking into a bit of horse betting recently, and noticed when odds are discussed that 'BOG' is mentioned quite often. For instance, a quote I saw today: 'I’m going to take some of the 3/1 (BOG, of course!) on offer at present from betVictor'.

What does BOG mean please?

Thanks

so in the example you raise if you take 3-1 on BOG and the horse wins at 4-1 you get paid at 4-1

be aware if you back horses that either are backed heavily (win or lose) or a fair proportion of winners you will not keep the BOG feature for to long.

Do some sites actually take this off you then? Never heard of that before although I'm pretty new to the game.

[horseplayer]

yes they all will if you either back horses that appear live or are reasonably shrewd

personally i have a few accounts with most of the firms and bet365 and hills are still bog the others that offer are not

all depends who you back your winners with really

[horseplayer]

there are a few small indies that offer bog but personally i will not use them (not suggesting anything wrong with them)

this is a list of "big" bookies that offer bog at least to start with

bet365
betfred
betinternet.com
boylesports
coral (be careful they have lots of win markets bog is only on the one that offers generally very poor prices)
paddypower
vcbet
william hill
