## Guineas Festival Betting Offers

They are the season's first Group 1s and the first real read on the new generation.

The table below lists our partners' welcome offers, each with its significant terms beside it, and the next section sets out who pays Best Odds Guaranteed on the two Classics. For dates and the racing, see our [Guineas Festival hub](/festivals/guineas-festival/).

## The Offers, and Who Pays Best Odds Guaranteed

<!-- OfferComparisonTable component omitted from the markdown rendering; see the full HTML page -->

### Best Odds Guaranteed for the Classics

Classic markets move hard in the final days as trial form, the draw and the ground come together, which is when Best Odds Guaranteed (BOG) earns its keep.

Every firm below excludes ante-post bets from BOG, so a price taken weeks before the meeting is not covered. Checked at the operators' own pages on 9 October unless stated:

- **QuinnBet**: BOG on UK and Irish racing for bets placed from 10am on race day, with the extra it pays capped per bet.
- **BetGoodwin**: BOG on UK and Irish horse and greyhound racing, capped per bet, with special markets and international racing excluded.
- **LiveScore Bet**: BOG on UK and Irish racing from 10am, but only once you have staked a set amount with them over the previous seven days.
- **Star Sports**: no BOG. It withdrew the concession and has not brought it back.
- **William Hill**: its help pages made BOG invitation-only. We could not re-read that page on 9 October (it refuses automated access), so this rests on our July check.
- **Betfred**: BOG on UK and Irish racing in our July check. Betfred's site blocks automated reading, so we could not re-check it.

### Ante-post on the Guineas

The Guineas are among the most-bet ante-post races of the year. If your horse does not run, most firms settle an ante-post bet as a loser unless the market was marked Non-Runner No Bet, as Kwiff's own rules spell out. Check for NRNB before you take a winter price.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### When is the Guineas Festival?

Over a weekend in early May at Newmarket, with the 2,000 Guineas on the Saturday and the 1,000 Guineas on the Sunday. Our [Guineas Festival hub](/festivals/guineas-festival/) carries the dates for the next edition.

### Do extra places matter for the Guineas?

Less than in a big handicap. Classic fields are usually smaller, so the standard each-way terms cover fewer places and extra-place promotions are rarer. Best Odds Guaranteed tends to do more work.

### Can I use a welcome free bet on the Guineas?

Usually, if the free bet meets its own minimum-odds rule. Some welcome free bets are accumulator-only, so check the conditions on each card first.
