Bet Finder Help Guide

Filter hundreds of runners in seconds using quick-fire filters across three powerful modes

What is Bet Finder?

Bet Finder is a powerful filtering tool that lets you scan every runner across today's race cards and narrow them down to a focused shortlist using quick-filter buttons. No complicated forms — just click the filters that match your angle and the results update instantly.

It operates in three modes — Bet, Lay, and Trade — each with its own set of filters designed for that specific betting approach.

Using Filters

Click any filter button to activate it. Active filters are highlighted and the results list updates immediately. The "Horses Found" counter shows how many runners match your current selection.

  1. ✓Choose your mode (Bet, Lay, or Trade) using the tabs at the top
  2. ✓Click a filter button to activate it — for example, "Winner Last Time"
  3. ✓The results list updates instantly, showing only matching runners
  4. ✓Click the same filter again to deactivate it
Tip: Use the rank buttons (Best Odds, Most Profit, etc.) above the filters to change how the results are sorted.

Stacking Filters

The real power of Bet Finder is stacking multiple filters together. Each additional filter narrows your shortlist further — going from hundreds of runners down to a focused selection in just a couple of clicks.

Bet Finder with one filter active
One filter active — the list narrows to matching runners
Bet Finder with two filters stacked
Two filters stacked — hundreds narrowed to a focused shortlist
Tip: Stacking "Winner Last Time" with "Trainer in Form" is a popular combination for finding strongly fancied runners.

Race Dropdown

By default, Bet Finder searches across all of today's races. Use the race dropdown to focus on a specific course or individual race.

The dropdown includes tabs for Flat, Jump, and UK to quickly filter the meeting list.
